How to play gitfiddle

Here's one of many, many videos on Youtubers that teach you how to play the gee-tar like you know what you are doing.  ( unlike me, when I was a youngster )  Shoot.  Enough of these, and you may become a chick magnet.





Update:  

En Espanol

He visto la luz hace tiempo hace Venus se apago
he visto morir una Estrella en el cielo de Orion
No hay senal, no hay senal de vida humana y yo
perdido en el tiempo, perdido en otra dimension

oh oh ah ah ah

soy el capitan de la nave tengo el control
llamando a la Tierra, esperando contestacion
Soy un cowboy del espacio Azul electric
a dos milliones de anos luz de mi casa estoy

oh oh oh, ah ah ah

quisiera volver no termina nunca esta mission
me acuerdo de ti como un cuento de ciencia- ficcion
no estoy tan mal juego
juego al poker con mi ordenador
se pasan los dias no hay noticias desde la estacion


Now this is interesting, translating it back into English via Google translate:

I've seen the light long ago Venus stops
I've seen die a star in the sky of Orion
There is no signal, there is no sign of human life and I
lost time, lost in another dimension

oh oh ah ah ah

I am the captain of the ship
have control calling the Earth, waiting for reply
I am a blue electric space cowboy
two million light years from my house
 oh oh oh, ah ah ah

I would like to return never ends this mission
I remember you as a tale of science-fiction
I'm not so bad game play poker with my computer
spend the day there is no news from the station

Now the original space cowboy, Steve Miller...

I am wondering about that Spanish to English translation could be rewritten into yet another version
of the song?....




8:29, 5.22.19:

The original lyrics:


Did you see the lights
As they fell all around you?
Did you hear the music ?
A serenade from the stars

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space and the time is our own

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah

Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you?
Did you feel the love
That was in the air?

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you

We're lost in space and the time is our own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah

The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in space and the earth is your own

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

comment:

The lyrics seem negative.  Why not make it a positive?  How can you tweak the words so that they convey a message of optimism, as opposed to a message of negativism?

JP Aerospace's concept of riding the atmosphere in airships in order to get to orbit is incorporated into the lyrics here.

Here's my stab at it:


Do you see the lights
In the sky all around you?
Can you hear the music ?
Calls to us from the stars

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're off to space and the sky is our home

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah

Do you feel the wind
When it blows all around you?
Do you feel the strength
That's in the air?

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're off to space and the sky is our home

Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah

The sun stays up
Joins the stars all around you
We're  into space now the sky is our home
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
