Greetings dear friend of the Hive, especially to the friends of the Hive Open Mic, with you @nellynohemi we reach week 194, last week of the year 2023, with the theme "Ends of December", selected by the featured artist @samuelstifen, greetings to You friend, young man with a very beautiful voice. For today I bring you a classic from this time and it is the song "Faltan 5 Pa' Las Doce". I hope you like it.

This song was composed by Oswaldo Oropeza and sung by the extraordinary artist Néstor Zavarce in his Album Faltan 5 Pa' Las Doce, in 1963, since then it has been considered a New Year's Eve heritage in Latin America.

As a family we always get together and turn on the radio to listen to the count of the bells announcing the new year and this is generally the song heard on this occasion.

It was a year with a great family loss, but the strength I have is to thank God for his mercy and for my beloved brother Armando in my life. I will love you eternally. Also many joys among them the graduations of my granddaughter María, that of my sons Alfredo and Carlos and that of my niece @milasalazar. I thank God for maintaining family unity and the beautiful moments shared between families and friends. But above all, thank God for keeping me on my feet, giving me health and waking up with the desire to live every minute of my life, that the bad days do not take away my smile and that adversities help me grow as a person and spiritually.

I am also grateful for the time shared in this Hive community that allows me to express myself through singing, an activity that I like and which I enjoyed, for meeting wonderful people and beings of light who make life here, to tell you that I even have virtual family he he heh. Thank you all for opening your doors to me and welcoming me into your hearts. They are loved a lot. To the curators of this family for always motivating us to continue and do our best every week. For everyone, may God bless and protect you and may this Year 2024 be one of great health, peace, prosperity, wisdom, love and family unity. Let's continue making good music for the world.

Faltan 5 Pa' Las Doce

Las campanas de la iglesia están sonando anunciando
que el año viejo se va! la alegría del año nuevo viene
ya, los abrazos se confunden sin cesar.

-CORO-
faltan cinco pa' las 12 el año va a terminar, me voy
corriendo a mi casa a abrazar a mi mamá.
Faltan cinco pa' las 12 el año va a terminar, me voy
corriendo a mi casa a abrazar a mi mamá.

Me perdonan que me vaya de la fiesta pero hay algo que
jamás podre dejar. Una linda viejecita que me espera en
las noches de una eterna navidad.

Las campanas de la iglesia están sonando anunciando
que el año viejo se va! la alegría del año nuevo viene
ya, los abrazos se confunden sin cesar.
Las campana de la iglesia están sonandoooo.

5 left for twelve

The church bells are ringing announcing
that the old year is leaving! the joy of the new year is coming
Now, the hugs are incessantly confused...

-CHORUS-
there are five left until 12 the year is going to end, I'm leaving
Running home to hug my mom.
There are five left until 12 the year is going to end, I'm leaving
Running home to hug my mom.

Forgive me for leaving the party but there is something that
I will never be able to leave. A pretty old lady waiting for me
the nights of an eternal Christmas.

The church bells are ringing announcing
that the old year is leaving! the joy of the new year is coming
Already, the hugs are incessantly confused.
The church bells are ringing.
