Re: OT: Code-switching in music

Well... I heard a song by Terri Hendrix called "Lluvia de Estrellas" and a
verse of it is this:

*     Un brincador de montaöas
      en mi alma
      is who you are to me
     Un brincador de montaöas
     en mi vida
     atravez del cielo
     when I choose to see

Something like that?
