and Words
Noto cómo cambia tu voz
Cada vez que me confiesas: “te quiero”
Somos mundos en aproximación
Orbitando con el mismo fin
Choque ciego de universos de amor
Con caricias rotatorias y lentas
Que nos pone el corazón en la boca
Y transforma el aire en elíxir
Lyric excerpts from Musixmatch.
On a quiet weekend night, we browse through movies on Netflix. We cycle through many tiles and previews. Eventually, we land on a sci-fi romantic comedy, called “Our Times”. The plot centers around a married couple of physicists in 1966 who invent the means to time travel… and land, right here in 2025. The preview features actors we do not immediately recognize, though that’s not entirely uncommon.
As we start the film, the credits roll. While Netflix obviously produced the film, the credits roll in Spanish. We’ve watched several foreign films (and shows) and even a handful that were dubbed. Sure, the lips move out of synchronicity with the words, but this isn’t a deal-breaker.
