Heluhelu au i kekahi mau hua'ōlelo na Carlo Verdone ma 'La grande Bellezza' i aneane poina ia'u: “Ua hoopau au i na kau wela a pau o ko'u ola ana i na olelo hooholo no Sepatemaba. ʻAʻole i kēia manawa, ke hoʻopau nei au i ke kauwela e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā ʻōlelo hoʻoholo a lākou i hana ai a ua nalowale. He aha kā lākou kūʻē i ka nostalgia? ʻO ia wale nō ka mea hiki ke hoʻonāwaliwali i ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo ʻole i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Hoʻokahi wale nō. Me ka ua ʻole, pau ʻo ʻAukake a ʻaʻole hoʻomaka ʻo Kepakemapa." Makemake wau e hiki iaʻu ke kākau. Ke hele mai nei ka lanakila o ka nani ma luna o ka extroversion a me ka lanakila o ka maluhia e kū'ē i ka wela populist, wela e like me kahi repubalika palaho. Hiki mai ka ua mehana, e hoʻopololei ana i ko mākou mau iwi, ka makani e hele mai e hoʻomaloʻo iā lākou, nā lā pōkole, nā ahiahi lōʻihi, nā nānā hohonu, ke kukui violet o Castilla, ka hāʻule ʻana o Velázquez o Madrid, nā ala hou e paipai iā mākou e ʻaʻahu i kahi lole. beret, ka mea e paipai iā mākou e hauʻoli a ua ola a piha ka sens. ʻO ka huluhulu quoita e uwao ana no ka huakaʻi, ke kuʻi ʻana mai iā ʻoe, ka ʻino nui mua a me ke anuanu ma ka maka ke haʻalele i kahi ʻahamele. Hiki mai ka petrichor, ka hoʻomanaʻo o nā kukui pō i loko o nā puddles, ka maluhia nui, ke ola me ka hana ʻole, nā ahiahi o ka heluhelu ʻana a me nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, nā hele wāwae i nā kuaʻāina, nā halo a me nā acerola, ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana o ka hauʻoli, ka hoʻopaʻi ʻana o ka poe naauao A ʻo ka waina, no ka mea, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hua waina mai koʻu ʻāina mai ma mua o nā melika. A me ka papa hou aku. Mai hoʻohālikelike i ka maʻi wela o ke kauwela me ka lā māmā a nani o ka quince, ka mea e hoʻomehana iā mākou i loko, luhi i ke ahi ma waho.
Hōʻike mai ʻo Josele Santiago iā mākou e hele ana mākou i Sepatemaba a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo e ʻohi, akā e komo ana ʻo ia i kahi kaula hou. “E hana ana au i kekahi mea maoli. Hauʻoli wau!" Ua hoʻi mai ka palapala, kauoha a me nā meaʻai koʻikoʻi. Ua piha hou na minoaka o na keiki ma na alanui, ua hoonaniia na puka o na kula i na leo oke a e a'o hou au mai na luahine o ka makeke. ʻO Sepatemaba honi e like me ka hale hōʻikeʻike maikaʻi-ventilated a me kahi kamaliʻi ʻaʻole wale i nalowale, akā ke ola nei i nā maka ʻē aʻe. ʻOi aku ka uʻi o kaʻu kaikamahine i ka hāʻule, ke lilo ke gula o kona ʻili i keleawe a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻulaʻula moana iā ia - a ʻo ia ka ʻōlelo - ma mua o ka makahiki i hala. E ʻike iā ia e ulu ana i ka wā hāʻule, e hele pū me ia ma Campo Grande, ka Retiro, e huakaʻi pū i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Naval e hāʻawi i nā mea kaua iā mākou, i nā poʻe koa poina o koʻu ʻāina, i kēlā hae Castilian i hoʻomalu i nā kai. E hauʻoli i ka hāʻule o ke keiki a hana ʻoe i mea hauʻoli, he mea kākau paha, akā e pepehi maoli ʻoe i ka hopena pule. ʻO ka Autumn ka lāʻau lapaʻau e kūʻē i ka makaʻu.
Ke hāʻule nei ka puʻuwai a me ke ʻano o ke ahonui e like me ke kaula palupalu, aloha i nā aka, nā ʻeha pani a me nā puka makani hāmama. ʻO nā lole hou ma nā kuʻuna kahiko, nā kala kūpono e hāʻawi i ka hoʻokahuli aupuni, ka hana hoʻopōmaikaʻi e hoʻomaha ana i ka ʻōpio, nā aloha o ke kauwela i hōʻeha ʻia i ka make, kekahi mau pūhaka e nānā nīnau iā ʻoe, he leka aloha i ka poina. Hoʻi ka ʻīnika, ʻo ke kofe ma ke kihi o ka pā a me ke kaikamahine uʻi ma ke kukui kaʻa. Hiki mai nā pākeʻe, ka hāmau pale a me ka ʻai ʻana ma hope o ka ʻaina ahiahi. ʻO ka hoʻokūkū kuke, ke kālā radio, kahi 'boulevardier' ma El Colmao. Ua hoʻi mai ʻo Ludovico Einaudi lāua ʻo Ella Fitzgerald. E hāʻule nā lau a me nā pōʻai ʻeleʻele. Noho mākou e kākau hou ma ka piano polū. E hōʻino mākou i ke kauwela a me kona mau wahi. Hiki mai ke ʻala o nā uhi puke, nā manaʻo nani ma nā ʻaoʻao mua o nā puke puke a me Bob Dylan e hīmeni ana 'If You See Her, Say Hello'. Aia mākou a pau ma ʻaneʻi.
I kēia lā hoʻomaka nā mea a pau. I kēia lā hāʻawi mākou i nā kuleana, i ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo, i kēia lā mākou e hoʻokuke aku i nā palena i ka palena. I kēia lā ke piʻi nei mākou i ka noho aliʻi, i kēia lā ʻaʻohe wahi no ka palaka. I kēia lā, he papa ka mea hoʻomaha, i kēia lā ua hūnā ʻia nā culottes pōkole, hilahila lākou iā lākou iho a peʻe ma lalo o nā keʻena, ma lalo o ka hanohano o koʻu ʻāina. I kēia lā ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ko mākou auwae, i kēia lā ke kiʻekiʻe ko mākou mau poʻo, ke kuʻi nei ko mākou mau maka, ko mākou mau lima i loko o kā mākou ʻeke, ko mākou naʻau mālie, ko mākou mau hale i hoʻonohonoho ʻia.
Ua hoʻomanawanui mākou i ke kauwela a ua kākau mākou i ka luhi. Ua hele pū mākou iā Sacramenia, Santander, Conil, Madrid, Peñafiel, El Bierzo a me Oxford. Ua nānā mākou i nā mokulele a ua ʻike mākou i kēlā me kēia kanaka hoʻomaha. Ua makemake mākou i nā mea pā a me nā huakaʻi kahiko o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ua pilikia mākou ma nā kaʻa kaʻa ʻole a me nā loko e like me nā pahele. Ua hana mākou. I kēia lā, ʻapo mai ko kākou mau kūpuna iā kākou, nā keiki a kākou i nānā mai ai iā kākou, i kēia lā ke nānā ʻaoʻao nei kākou i nā kūpuna, nā kapuaʻi luhi, ka haʻaheo o ka noho ʻana ma ke ala pololei, ka huakaʻi i loko, ka lanakila o ka lanakila a me kēia hoʻohui. i ka ike ana i ka hoohenehene mai ka aoao. I kēia lā ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻolauleʻa ai a no laila mākou e hoʻolauleʻa ai i nā mea āpau. Aia kekahi mau lā i lilo ai mākou i mau dandies, i nā mea lanakila genetic, i nā hits DNA maikaʻi loa. I kēia lā ua ʻōlelo ka mālamalama he koʻikoʻi ke ola a ua pau nā mirages, aia nā kāleka ma ka papaʻaina a loaʻa iā mākou ʻelima, e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe. He maikaʻi kēia a hiki iā mākou ke hōʻike i ko mākou mau helehelena a hiki i ka wā e haki ai lākou no mākou. Ke hiki mai nei ʻo Kepakemapa. Ua ʻōlelo mua ʻo ia iā ʻoe e lanakila ana kāua.
