What’s going on

 

(*) Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)

Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
Tell me what's going on (What's going on)
I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on)

Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on

El camino no elegido

 

(*) Robert Frost 

Dos caminos se bifurcaban en un bosque amarillo,

y apenado por no poder tomar los dos 

siendo un viajero solo, largo tiempo estuve de pie

mirando uno de ellos tan lejos como pude,

hasta donde se perdía en la espesura;

entonces tomé el otro, imparcialmente,

y habiendo tenido quizás la elección acertada,

pues era tupido y requería uso;

aunque en cuanto a lo que vi allí

hubiera elegido cualquiera de los dos.

Y ambos esa mañana yacían igualmente,

¡Oh, había guardado aquel primero para otro día!

Aun sabiendo el modo en que las cosas siguen adelante,

dudé si debía haber regresado sobre mis pasos.

Debo estar diciendo esto con un suspiro 

deaquí a la eternidad: 

dos caminos se bifurcaban en el bosque y yo,

yo tomé el menos transitado, 

y eso hizo toda la diferencia.

Tell me if you still care

 

(*) Terry Lewis & James Lii

Tell me
If you still care
Tell me
If you still care

Let me know
Have you started to lose
Your love for me?
And if so
Will you still continue
To be on my side?

Tell me
If you still care about me (Tell me, girl)
Tell me
If you still care about me

I was so
Insecure with you
Did you still want me?
So I let go
Of the feeling that you
Were still all mine

Tell me
If you still care about me (Show me that you care)
Tell me
If you still care about me

Must we both
Go on being confused
And placing blame
My heart knows
That you're my number one
Do you feel the same way too?

Tell me
If you still care about me (If you still care)
Tell me
If you still care about me

Yes, I know
That I still love you
You're forever on my mind
And it's so hard to let go
What I feel for you
You've blown my mind

And captured all my love with your sweetness
And I gave it to you, baby, from my heart
So if we really care for each other
Tell me, baby (Tell me), why are we apart?

Tell me
If you still care about me (If you still care) (Do you really care?)
(Listen to my heart beat for you, baby, woo) Tell me (Tell me)
If you still care about me (Do you feel the same way too?)

Tell me (Ooh, tell me)
If you still care about me (Baby, I still care)
Tell me (Tell me)
If you still care about me (Baby, you're my number one)

Tell me (And tell me do you still care?)
If you still care (Yes, I care) about me
Tell me (Tell me)
If you still care about me (You're forever on my mind)

Tell (Listen to my heart beat) me
If you still care about me about me
Tell me (Tell me)
If you still care about me (Do you feel the same way too)

Tell me
If you still care (Listen to my heart beat)
With you near me, when you hold me
Can you kiss me (Do you feel the same way too, woo)

If you still care
If you still care

Woo

If you still care

Quiero encontrar mi lugar

 

Quiero decirles a los
Que no creyeron en mí
Que poco a poco estoy
Llegando a ser más feliz

Quiero encontrar mí lugar
La gente con quien estar
Muchos no me aceptarán
Así

Cuanta será la maldad
Que se percibe hasta acá
Pero la combatiré
Con lo mejor de mi ser

Incluso voy a crecer
Voy a trepar mi dolor
Voy a encontrar
Algo mejor

Quiero decirles a los
Que no creyeron en mí
Que poco a poco estoy
Llegando a ser más feliz

Quiero encontrar mí lugar
La gente con quien estar
Muchos no me aceptarán
Así

Voy a encontrar mi lugar

Perfect day

 

(*) Lou Reed

Okay?

Just a summer's day
Drink Sangria in the park
Fuck (let's try it again)
Sorry about that
I'll leave out that tricky guitar bit, I think
Okay

Just a summer's day
Drink Sangria in the park
Then later, when it gets dark
We go home

Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo, oh
Then later, a movie too
And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
It's just a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a summer's day
Problems all left alone
Weekends on our own
It's such fun

Oh, it's just a perfect day
I'm glad that I spent it with you
I thought I was someone else
Someone good, yeah

Oh, it's just a summer's day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, just a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're gonna reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
Pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa, pa-pa-pam

Brown eyed girl

 

(*) Van Morrison

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you

My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl

And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da

Little things

 

(*) Jorja Smith 

I didn't know that you'd be here tonight

Saw you again, think this must be a sign
Nothing you said, it was all in your eyes, oh
Can I get close, even for just one time?

It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then that's alright
It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then that's alright

With you, it's such a sweet escape
So if we leave will anybody notice?
If you don't wanna play these games
Just tell me what you need and we can go there
Only here for the weekend
I've just stepped out with my friends
Don't tell me that you're leaving
Think I came at the right time
Do you know what's on my mind?
Can you stay for the evening? (Hmm)

It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then that's alright
It's the little things that get me high
Won't you come with me and spend the night?
Just a little thing for you and I
And if it's meant to be, then that's alright

Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things for you and I
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
Just the little things that get me high and keep me going
Just a little bit of you and I, nobody knows it
(What time is it? When the party stops)

Say

 

(*) John Mayer

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put them in quotations

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only...

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never say 
What you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say...

The way that i do

 

(*) Duran Jones and The Indications

You give me a fever and a pounding in my chest
That's more than my emotions
I'm feeling it deeper
Seeing stars with your caress
And I can't fight the notion
Now I'm a believer in the power of your touch
And I'm fiending like it's never too much
Can't keep it steady, breathing heavy, spinning out of control
Your love's got me sicker than I been before

That's why I feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
That's why you make me feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
Oh yeah

You give me a reason
When I'm far from at my best
To keep me reaching higher (keep me reaching higher)
You're what I been needing
'Cause the light that you possess
It got me burning brighter (shining like a diamond)
Now I'm a believer
In the power of your touch
And I'm fiending like it's never too much

And I know it sounds funny
But I gotta say
I never had a love that got me feeling this way

That's why I feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
That's why you make me feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
Oh yeah

Can't keep it steady, breathing heavy, spinning out of control
Your love's got me sicker than I been before

That's why I feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
That's why you make me feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)

That's why you make me feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)
That's why you make me feel (the way that I do)
I know it's for real (the way I love you)

Ooh, I do
Hey, I do
