I really really love this version of Peces de Ciudad, Pablo Lopez is one of my favourites spanish singers and this duet with Pablo Alboran always give me goosbumps. And yes they are really good friends, they even call each other brother, they are very close. You should react to the live performance of the song El Patio of Pablo Lopez at the Palau Saint Jordi arena, that moment was magical.

Both are musicians, singers, and songwriters; each of them writes their own songs.

There is magic here. Pablo López, who plays the piano here, is a magnificent musician, lyricist, and composer. He fought hard for his career, as no one in the industry initially believed that an artist sitting at a piano could fill stadiums. They were wrong. I recommend the live performance: Pablo López, "El Patio" live at the Palau Sant Jordi.

The best-ever rendition of “Peces de ciudad.” I like Sabina, but these two Pablos elevate the song.

Hi! I'm writing this comment simply to say thank you. I always watch your videos and I love seeing how you react to and discover our Spanish artists. Watching this particular reaction made me feel incredibly good. It fills me with emotion and joy to see how people from another culture, with a different language, can feel the exact same magic and get the same goosebumps that I get when listening to Pablo Alborán and Pablo López sing this masterpiece live. You've shown that music has no borders and that true art speaks directly to the heart, no matter where we're from. Thank you for your respect, your sensitivity, and for giving us this beautiful moment. A huge hug from Spain!

Hi there, folks! I work as a music teacher, and this is a song I often give my students to sing. Over the years, I’ve had them explore the poetic meaning of the lyrics, and I encourage them to look up, read about, and listen to the many cultural references throughout the song.<br><br>For what it’s worth, here’s a translation—not always a literal one—of this beautiful song by Joaquín Sabina and Pancho Varona. At the end, I’ve added a brief explanation of some of the references in the lyrics.<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>CITY FISH<br><br>She wore her hair à la garçonne,<br>the traveler who wanted to teach me how to kiss<br>at the Gare d’Austerlitz.<br><br>Springtime of a love,<br>yellow and spare as the sun<br>of St. Martin’s Indian summer.<br><br>Some say that I was the one<br>who was first to forget,<br>when, in a B-flat by Jacques Brel,<br>I met Mademoiselle Amsterdam.<br><br>In vainglorious New York,<br>the Statue of Liberty casts<br>a longer shadow than the lemon trees.<br><br>But down on Desolation Row,<br>the oil tankers’ sirens<br>won’t let you laugh or fly.<br><br>And in Babel’s choir,<br>a Spaniard sings off-key.<br>There is no law but the law of treasure<br>in King Solomon’s Mines.<br><br>And braving the swell, with neither rudder nor helmsman,<br>through my dreams it sails, traveling light,<br>aboard a walnut shell, my traveling heart,<br>showing off the tattoos of a buccaneer past,<br>of a sailboat closing in to board, of a—<br>of an “I don’t want to love you.”<br><br>And how can I escape, when there are no islands left to shipwreck on,<br>to the country where the wise retreat<br>from the indignity of chasing lips that drive you out of your mind,<br>from lies that win such summary trials<br>they tarnish the glass of the aquariums<br>of the city fish—<br><br>who took the bait,<br>who dive at street level,<br>who don’t deserve to swim.<br><br>El Dorado was a shampoo,<br>virtue, a pair of arms stretched into a cross,<br>sin, a webpage.<br><br>In Comala I understood<br>that you should never try to return<br>to the place where you once were happy.<br><br>When, on a scheduled flight,<br>I set foot in the Madrid sky,<br>a newlywed woman was waiting for me<br>who couldn’t remember me.<br><br>And braving the swell, with neither rudder nor helmsman,<br>through my dreams it sails, traveling light,<br>aboard a walnut shell, my traveling heart,<br>showing off the tattoos of a buccaneer past,<br>of a sailboat closing in to board, of a—<br>of a woman’s garter belt.<br><br>And how can I escape, when there are no islands left to shipwreck on,<br>to the country where the wise retreat<br>from the indignity of chasing lips that drive you out of your mind,<br>from lies that win such summary trials<br>they tarnish the glass of the aquariums<br>of the city fish—<br><br>who lost their gills—and their nerve—<br>in a school of small fry,<br>on a beach with no sea.<br><br>(References are in the next comment)

No sé si se pueden trasladar al inglés las metáforas tan bellas de Joaquín Sabina en español. La canción es absolutamente genial ❤

They are both great...I've seen the comments and you really MUST follow them, El Patio live in Palau Sant Jordi from Pablo López leaves you flored, the duo from Pablo Alborán and Carminho, just Magic. And Joaquin Sabina, he IS a leyend and an increíble song writer. I was really missing music in spanish. All the BEST for you two.
