Per, once again, thank you for finding this lost (or hidden) gem and making it come to light! We fans have been dreaming about listening to it for several years, it's a pity that it has never made the cut in "Baladas En Español", and no, "Baladas" doesn't have too many songs, there are only 12 in it, this could have made the cut, but I don't know what the criteria was back in 1996... You guys should re-release "Baladas" remastered just like the 7 first English albums and include this as bonus track, maybe also including the "Have A Nice Day" Spanish versions to make a definitive Spanish album! (Will anybody read my suggestions and make them come to life? 😰)

Immaculate Spanish, you are so right Per. Marie was a PRO.

[@emilce601]

Amazing song! Love u Per! ❤👑

[@Juvenilescamp2000]

I speak both English & Spanish fluently... I learnt both languages because of Roxette by the way... and I can tell you, Per that Marie did a fantastic job! It's hard to believe she didn't understand what she was singing... she puts the stress onto the right part of the words and she gets the intonation right as well. Even my Spanish friends confirmed she's amazing. Thank you so much for your music... and for all the inspiration it came with it. :)

BRAZIL IS HERE TO WORSHIP "TÚ NO ME COMPRENDES"! 🇧🇷

[@zinlucascamargo]

Per, how can you forget the title? It's "TIMIDA"! Repeat along with me: TI MI DA. And I love both "Vulnerable" and "Timida" (unquestionably I love the first one the most because it's the original version). And remember, before dying I'd really like to see you play "Vulnerable" live! Don't say it's difficult any longer, please make this dream of ours come true at least ONCE! 😃❤️

[@SayAhh]

Madonna was singing in Tower Records or something years back and she couldn't remember the lyrics to one of her 80s hits. That's why they have rehearsal. Like Raul Julia's General Bison said in Street Fighter: The Movie, "for you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life...but for me, it was Tuesday."

[@ines_incubus_fan]

Marie's spanish phrasing of /Tu no me comprendes/, was quite good. Thanks for sharing, Per.

[@lionelzeta]

I always thought it was about copyrights probs with Desmond Child you never released it back in 1996. Btw: Marie sings perfectly right in spanish. She sang pretty really well. Luis Escolar didn't translate the songs. He made totally new lyrics. But this is another chapter

[@cwe9150]

Totally agree! Escolar didn't translate any Per's liric! He destroyed it 😭

[@blewskrin]

[@4uTender]

My guess is that Tu No Me Comprendes is not the only ballad in spanish that's stored somewhere. I always wondered why there was not a Spanish version of Almost Unreal and now I really think there is but Mr. Gessle must have it in store for another Bag of Trix maybe? Even though both Per and Marie always said they didn't like the song it was a hit so it must have been definetely in the recording plans. Hence, a new Roxette XFiles saga begins xD

[@MrAnia78]

I think they choose the slow songs that are easier for them to Sing. "Almost unreal " is faster for them to Sing in a foreing language

[@4uTender]

@@MrAnia78 really? it seems to me that "you don't understand me" is wordier in the lyrics, not the chorus. If Marie could deal with that, "Almost Unreal" should be a breeze. My opinion. I hope Per has that gem in Spanish stored somewhere even though he doesn't like it.

Sí. Marie cantó muy bien en español y Per también. Vulnerable translation was Tímida.

[@danielton9577]

Thanks for sharing this. I've always wondered about the history of your "Baladas en Español" album. It seemed like an unlikely release from a Swedish duo. As an American who learned Spanish as a second language, I liked it. Not gonna fault you and Marie for not knowing Spanish, though, since I don't speak Swedish, but you two sure could've fooled me!

[@jesicadpsc]

Per the song you sang in Spanish is TIMIDA and it is pronounce as it is written.

[@barbapoupokin7425]

Quand je le vois je repense à Marie et ça me rend triste 😩😞💔

[@danielatessitore5275]

Hello, i, am an Italian fan, i wanna know: Why did Marie cry when she sings in spanish?

[@teveseries]

She could understand Spanish, she studied in School and she made some verses for the Spanish album. Another fact, the lyrics are not translated, they are different in comparison to English versions, may be she felt more comfortable with the sense of some songs. "Spending my time" is "Un día sin tí" (means: A day without you) I think the Spanish lyric is more deeper than the original, and Marie was captive by this version specially

todos esos que crítican las letras en español, deben ser respetuosos del esfuerzo de los artistas, por traducir a nuestro idioma, a menos que ustedes, y aún así es considerado una grosería, hablen perfectamente varios idiomas al grado de poder componer buena música, música de este nivel, tal vez solo así, podrían críticar, si no les gusta, está bien, pero no hay que ser irrespetuosos.

[@GEONAT78]

Lo hicieron muy bien. Baladas en español es un discazo.

[@DanSmith142]

Maries voice and delivery, Pers music and lyrics writting and performance make up what we love as Roxette fans. Now....the album in Spanish. While i think it was a smart move on their part, it felt more like a joke. Even like a disrespectfull move toward us fans that took the band seriously. It leads me to believe that they sort of found a native Spanish speaking lyricist in a flee market who was selling bootleg CDs and thought it was a good idea to make a quick buck regurgitating whatever first words came to his mind when told to think that the project was to be sold in Latinamerica. "Un dia sin ti" is only bearable in certain parts, mostly the chorus. The rest of the songs not only could not hold the magic (not even by a mile) but also destoyed the songs themselves along with the image of the band by almost laughing im our faces with what really feels like a very rushed way to capitalize on the hype. Been holding this ever since the album came out. Roxette was very important for me in my teenage years.
