Imagine

Una muy buena canción para reflexionar sobre la vida, sobre lo que consideramos importante y lo que es importante en realidad.

John Lennon - Imagine:




Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

In the end

Una muy buena canción de Linkin Park.

Linkin Park - In the End:




It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

Pass the flame

Con motivo de los juegos olímpicos en Beijing 2008, aquí está esta canción para recordar los pasados juegos olímpicos en Atenas 2004.

Giannis Kotsiras - Pass the flame:




Pass the Flame
Unite the World
It's the time to celebrate let our voices be heard

Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Bring us all together

We can grow a forest
On a dried up river bed
We can build a mountain
From a grain sand

Reach out, hold out your hands
Reach out, hold out your hands...

Pass the Flame
Unite the World
It's the time to celebrate let our voices be heard

Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Bring us all together

Pass the Flame
Unite the World
Unite the World
Unite the World

Reach out, hold out your hands
Reach out, hold out your hands

Pass the Flame
Unite the world
Pass the Flame
Unite the World
Unite the World
Unite the World

I Drove All Night...

La canción de "I Drove All Night" por "Céline Dion".

Céline Dion - I Drove All Night:




I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night

...

Thank you lord

Una excelente canción que cantaba "Bob Marley", interpretada por Shaggy y Kymani Marley.

Shaggy ft. Kymani Marley - Thank you Lord:





Now This One Goes Out To The Father
For Shower Of Good Blessings
Right Now I Gotta Give Thanks
And Praise Most I

Thank You Lord For What You've Done For Me

To The Father I Say

Thank You Lord For What You're Doing Now

I Go Down On My Knees And Pray

Thank You Lord For Every Little Thing Yeah
Thank You Lord For Now You Made Me See
Sing Along, Sing Along

Now When I Look Back In The Days Of All The Sweat And
All The Dues I Paid
I Go Down On My Knees And Pray
And Give Thanks To The Father For The Blessings That He Shined On Me
I Sing A Little Song Of Praise
Though I Know That Everybody Ain't As Fortunate As I May Be
One More Time I Say
Words Cannot Express Appreciation What He's Done For Me
Right Now I Say Thank You Lord

Weezer - Pork And Beans:




They say
I need some Rogaine
To put in my hair
Work it out at the gym
To fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades
That transform a tool
You'd hate
Ffor the kids to think
That you lost your cool

I'mma do the things
That I wanna do
I ain't got a thing
To prove to you
I'll eat my candy
With the pork and beans
Excuse my manners
If I make a scene
I ain't gonna wear
The clothes that you like
I'm finally dandy
With the me inside
One look in the mirror
And I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot
About what you think

...

...

No I don't care
I don't care

Love Generation

La canción "Love Generation" de Bob Sinclair. Una muy buena canción con un gran mensaje.

Bob Sinclair - Love Generation:




From Jamaica to the world,
It's just love,
It's just love,
Yeah!

Why must our children play in the streets,
Broken hearts and faded dreams,
Peace and love to everyone that you meet,
Don't you worry, it could be so sweet,
Just look to the rainbow, you will see
Sun will shine till eternity,
I've got so much love in my heart,
No-one can tear it apart,
Yeah,

Feel the love generation,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Feel the love generation,
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon yeah,

Scatman

Scatman de Scatman John. Una canción de allá por los noventas.

Scatman John - Scatman:




(Scatting)

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the scatman can do it
So can you
Everybody says that the scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutters when he sings
But what you don't know
I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing
Yo, I'm the scat man
Where's the scat man? I'm the scat man.

Why should we be pleasing any politician heathens who would
Try to change the seasons if they could
The state of the condition
Insults my institution
And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact
Don't let nothing hold you back
If the scatman can do it, brother
So can you, I'm the scat man.

Don't worry 'bout a thing. 'Cause every little thing, gonna be all right.

La frase: "no te preocupes acerca de nada, porque todo va a estar bien" es una posible traducción de: "don't worry 'bout a thing 'cause every little thing (is) gonna be all right". Este es un mensaje muy bueno que nos dice la canción Three Little Birds de Bob Marley.

En más de alguna ocasión deberíamos detenernos con el fin de reflexionar acerca de este mensaje en particular.

Bob Marley - Three Little Birds:




Dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Singin: dont worry bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry (dont worry) bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Caribbean blue

Video de "Caribbean blue" de Enya:

Enya - Caribbean blue:




... Eurus ...
... Afer Ventus ...

... so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew -
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue ...

... if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue ...

... Boreas ...
... Zephryus ...

... if all you told was turned to gold,
if all you dreamed was new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue ...

... Eurus ...
Afer Ventus ...
... Boreas
Zephryus ...
... Africus ...

Gangstas Paradise

Dejo la canción de Gangstas Paradise de Coolio.

Coolio - Gangstas Paradise:




As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
He be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Sayin' prayers in the street light

been spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
been spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise

Forgot the situation, they got me facin
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin dreams

I'm a educated fool, with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced-out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool

Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now will I live to see twenty-fo'?
The way things are goin I don't know

Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me

Happy New Year

Debido a la fecha dejo este video de Abba: "Happy New Year". También aquí hay otro video referente al tema.

Abba - Happy New Year:




No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Santa Claus is coming to town

Debido a la época navideña, dejo esta canción: "Santa Claus is coming to town"

Por cierto, aquí también hay otras canciones navideñas.

Santa Claus is coming to town:







You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

All Star

Canción "All Star" de "Smash Mouth".

Smash Mouth - All Star:




Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

...

Tubthumping

Aquí dejo la canción de Tubthumping de Chumbawamba.

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping:




Well be singing
When were winning
Well be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the better times:

Oh danny boy
Danny boy
Danny boy...

I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down

...

I will survive

Aquí dejo esta versión de "Hermes House Band" de la canción "I will survive".

Por cierto fue una de las tantas canciones que pusieron en la fiesta de graduación dentro de las primeras 4 horas de música versátil, y vaya que fue versátil porque hubieron bastantes géneros musicales.

Hermes House Band - I will survive:




At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along….

And, so, you're, Back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive.

...

...

Go on now, go walk out the door….

la la la la la la la la…
la la la la la la la la…
