1) a swedish trio,
2) argentinian one (normA) coming from La Plata city and
3) electronic music duo NORMA from Moscow.

1) The swedish trio plays a mixture of ambient, kraut, noise, electronica, indie with a strict, repetitive bass/drum pattern and a magnificent, wide and almost hypnotic sound.

2) While the argentinian band is basically a psychedelic and indie rock band who plays sonic guitars, repetitive and sickness voices, having a simple actitude and posse but complex thoughts. They deal with contradictions and use them to paralize your mind and shake your body.

3) Dance music hooligans, russian NORMA started in 1998 with trip-hop, through alternative to the eclectic breaking the rules... Norma's music plays in a lot of TV programs, movies and theatre performances. NORMA is not “studio project” - sets with live guitar violate the “housey” rules on big festivals, sharing one stage with Gabriel and Dresden, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Futureshock, Above and Beyond. www.normamusic.com http://profile.myspace.com/normamuzak

Norma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I

Yo vendo unos ojos negros
Quien me los quiere comprar?
Los vendo por hechiceros
Porque me han pagado mal ( bis)

(Chorus)

Mas te quisiera
Mas te amo yo
Y todas las noches la paso
Suspirando por tu amor ( bis)

II

Cada vez que tengo pena,
Me voy a la orilla del mar
A preguntarle a las olas
Si han visto a mi amor pasar

(chorus)
Mas te quisiera, etc..

III

Ojos negros traicioneros
Por que me miráis así?
Tan alegres para otra
Y tan triste para mi

(chorus)
Mas te quisiera, etc.

English Lyrics:

Yo vendo unos ojos negros ( I sell black eyes )

Music and Lyrics - Angulo Cáceres, Jaime C.
        I

I sell black eyes
Who wants to buy me?
The sell by sorcerers
Because I have rewarded evil (repeat)

(Chorus)
The more I want you
The more I love you
And every night the way
Yearning for your love (repeat)

        II

Every time I have pain,
I'm going to the seaside
To ask the waves
If you have seen my love go

(chorus)
The more I want you
The more I love you
And every night the way
Yearning for your love (repeat)

     III

Treacherous black eyes
Why look at me like that?
So happy for another
And so sad for me

(chorus)
The more I want you
The more I love you
And every night the way

Yearning for your love (repeat)
.
