Life can sometimes be much stranger than fiction, making us see ghosts possibly where there are none, but in any case, breaking those heavy chains of boring everyday life, which in some cases is usually like a slab for the imagination.
[La vida, en ocasiones puede resultar mucho más extraña que la ficción, haciéndonos ver fantasmas posiblemente donde no los haya, pero de cualquier manera, rompiendo esas pesadas cadenas de la aburrida cotidianeidad, que en algunos casos suele ser como una losa para la imaginación].

They say that the Devil appeared to Giuseppe Tartini in his dreams, to participate in a mysterious sonata, the end of which he could not remember when he woke up and therefore remained forever incomplete, while to that other violin virtuoso, Paganini, the people He blamed, like Merlin, being the son of the Devil, for his inimitable way of interpreting said instrument, managing to do with the fingers of his hands, things truly impossible for any normal man.
[Dicen que a Giuseppe Tartini se le apareció en sueños el Diablo, para hacer partícipe de una misteriosa sonata, cuyo final no pudo recordar al despertar y por ello quedó para siempre incompleta, mientras que a aquél otro virtuoso del violín, Paganini, el pueblo le achacaba, como a Merlín, ser hijo del Diablo, por su forma inimitable de interpretar dicho instrumento, consiguiendo hacer con los dedos de sus manos, cosas verdaderamente imposibles para cualquier hombre normal].

This anonymous musician, whose tattoos recall the exciting fantastic episodes narrated by Ray Bradbury - the father of the Martian Chronicles - in his work 'The Illustrated Man', reminded me of these mephistophelic episodes, because an unknown melody came out of the strings of his guitar but very similar to the one that the Devil dictated to Tartini in his dreams.
[Este músico anónimo, cuyos tatuajes recuerdan los apasionantes episodios fantásticos narrados por Ray Bradbury -el padre de las Crónicas Marcianas- en su obra ‘El hombre ilustrado’, me recordó estos mefistofélicos episodios, pues de las cuerdas de su guitarra, salía una melodía desconocida pero muy similar a la que el Diablo le dictó en sueños a Tartini].

To make matters worse, a few meters further on, a woman, with her back to a gallery that passed indifferently by her side, painted the grotesque faces of the demons that make up the base of the monument to the Fallen Angel.
[Para colmo de fastuosas casualidades, algunos metros más allá, una mujer, de espaldas a una galería que pasaba indiferente por su lado, pintaba las grotescas caras de los demonios que conforman la base del monumento al Ángel Caído].

I believe that practice, work and perseverance are the keys to success. As the saying goes: he who wants something, something costs him.
