Biography

Pastora are a Spanish electronic group from Barcelona, consisting of Dolo Beltrán (vocals), Caïm Riba Pastor (guitar, synthesisers and programming) and Pauet Riba Pastor (programming and visuals.) The name of the group is devoted to the mother of Caïm and Pauet, whose surname was Pastor, and her first boyfriend used to call her ""Pastora"".

After studying visual and digital arts and multimedia, the brothers Pauet and Caïm Riba Pastor formed the group as an audio-visual project in 1996. As a duo, they released the experimental electronic albums 'Trip show audio visual tecno simfonic' (1998) and 'Cosmossoma' (2000) with the latter featuring their father Pau Riba a famous rock artist from the 1970s. However, neither album achieved commercial success.

In 2000 to strengthen the project, they added former professional actress Dolo Beltran as vocalist and songwriter and abandoned the experimental efforts in search of a more accessible sound.

The group achieved their breakthrough in 2003 with the track 'Lola' reaching the Spanish top ten. The eponymous parent album 'Pastora' achieved commercial success the following year, blending electronica, trip hop, Spanish guitars with techno beats. The album also contained the hits 'Mirona' , 'Lunes' and 'Mentira'. Both the album and its follow-up earned the trio a gold record.

After a two year gap the group returned in 2006 with the album 'La Vida Moderna.' A concept album backed by Pauet's striking and often psychedelic videos. The album earned the trio a 2006 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. The first single to be taken from the album was 'Desolado' which reached #1 on the Spanish radio playlists.

"Cuánta vida" is the first single of the eponymous album "Cuánta vida" released in 2007.


Lyrics

Cuanta vida va, cuanta vida viene
Cuanta vida va, va, va y viene
Cuanta vida hay en un deja vu,
lo vivido te vuelve y no pareces tú

Y me pueden las ganas
De esta noche no escapas

Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho)
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, ¿cuántas quieres?)
Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Cuanta vida hay en un alfiler
cuando el hilo se mete y quiere coser
Dos partes distintas de tacto y enigmas

Cuanta vida hay en un revolcon
Cuantas vueltas y vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho)
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, ¿cuántas quieres?)
Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Translation

How much life goes back and forth
how much life goes back, back, back and forth
how much life is there in a deja vu
what you've lived comes back again and you're not yourself

I can't help it
you won't escape tonight

How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around
(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)
(one, two, three, four, five, six, how many do you want?)
How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around

How much life is there in a pin
when the thread wants to saw
Two different parts made of touch and riddles

How much life is there in a shag
how many times
you have to turn around, turn around.

How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around
(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)
(one, two, three, four, five, six, how many do you want?)
How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around
