Lo Mejor Pa Ti ( Letra) Chambao Abril 2012 ( with translation)

Lo Mejor Pa Ti
Chambao.
2012





No, no sé que es lo que quieres decir
tampoco sé lo que esperas de mi
y entre tanto sigo aaqui
me quedo aquí.
Agáchate, cuida que esta pena
no te dure demasiado
sorpréndete, y aprende a volar
intenta volar en los espacios cerraos
recuérdate que lo que sube
rápido cae en picao

Que me duele verte así
y no se ya como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así
ya no se ni como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte
abrazarte

Si, si la cabeza no para de girar
si sientes que la fuerza se te va
y siempre tiene gana de escapar, de escapar.
Anímate, a crecer en la vida
en esta vida que te ha tocao
reinvétate y siente la alegria
de los que están a tu lao
levántate sin echar cuenta
de las veces que has tropezao

Que me duele verte así
ya no se ni como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así
ya no se ni como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte
abrazarte

Y quisiera, y quisiera poder
ayy abrazarte, abrazarte

Que me duele verte así
ya no se ni como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte

Que me duele verte así
y no se ya como ayudarte
que quiero lo mejor pa ti
y quisiera poder abrazarte
abrazarte.

Chambao is a Spanish band from the Mediterranean area of Málaga. The type of music they make is "Flamenco Chill"
This song is the first single of their new album celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the band.


The lyrics of this song are written in colloquial Spanish, the type of language used in the Flamenco music.


A translation into Plain English would be something like this: 


The Best For You



No, I don´t know what you mean
And I don´t know what you want from me either
And in the meantime I am here
I remain here.
Crouch down, be careful that this pain
Doesn´t last too long
Surprise yourself and learn to fly
Try to fly in close spaces
Remember that everything that goes up
Comes down quickly.

That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the best for you
And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the best for you
And I would like to be able to hold you


If your head doesn´t stop spinning around
And if you feel that your strength is gone
If you always feel the need to escape, to escape.
Buck up to grow in this life
In this life that you have got.
Reinvent yourself and feel the happiness
Of those who are around you
Get up and walk without thinking about
The times that you have stumbled.


That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the best for you
And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the best for you
And I would like to be able to hold you

And I would like to be able
to hold you, to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the best for you
And I would like to be able to hold you

That it hurts to see you like this
And I don´t even know how to help you
That I want the besNo, I don´t know what you mean
And I don´t know what you want from me either
And in the meantime I am here
I remain here.

Try to fly in close spaces
Remember that everything that goes up

And I would like to be able to hold you
To hold you.t for you
And I would like to be able to hold you
To hold you.

My Stage Fright...


*Sigh*

It´s been two weeks after not having a ear & vocal training class and I discovered that I chose a very difficult song to sing on my end of semester exam, not because it is difficult to *imitate*, but because I can´t find a style that suits my taste to sing it very different than the original singer who is Alicia Keys, and I don´t want it to sound as an *arrangement* of the song.


I studied all my excercises from the Ear Training Book,( from Berklee College of Music), which I found easier to understand than the ones I used to study almost 18 years ago at the Universidad de los Andes, when I was *planning* to become a professional singer. Yes, the methodology is different, it´s easier to understand and more logical, and also, I don´t have a 65 year old *Classic School* European teacher, but Alejandro Calle, a young Colombian teacher/performer who studied at Berklee and is specialised in Jazz, Soul and Bossa Nova. BIG difference. !!!

But, the part I am concerned today is that even if I had studied my lessons well, even if I could sing them very good and my pitch was correct and my breathing was correct and I thought the song was going well, my throat started to ache last night. This morning it was a very very bad sore throat. I looked and it was all red and swollen and it hurt a lot. I wanted to think that it was because of the medicine I am taking for acne ( Isotretinoin, known as Roaccutane) which *dries* all my body, incluidng hands, eyes, nose, mouth and of course throat, and also the fact that I´ve been smoking a lot in the past months.

I went to the music academy, and told Alejandro that maybe I was not going to be able to sing *very good* because of the sore throat, but that I had studied my lessons and that we could give the song a try. He agreed. I had to sing the excercises, and then the song , many times. I felt scared to sing because there were people outside the classroom and they could hear me. I thought it was awful, but I had to sing. Alejandro knows that the reason why I quit studing music when I was in the middle of the career was specifically my stage fright, and he´s focused on giving me tools to overcome this damn phobia. Also he says, - Even if we have to stay here until 12pm, you WILL sing.- So I had to sing, and slowly my throat wasn´t hurting that much. And I said well, I´m feeling better maybe it wasn´t a virus or something.

But when I left the academy, and I was coming back home I discovered that my throat was perfectly fine. I got here and I checked (I had checked in the mirror at the office and it was ugly) and it was perfectly normal. It doesn´t hurt anymore.

Conclusion, it´s coming back. The phobia is coming back. But I won´t let it win. I will do whatever it is necessary to really banish it from my life. I have to be able to show other people that I love music that I have a good voice and that I can *communicate* a message through singing. All those emotions, lyrics, music...I want to share them with others. And people who have heard me sing say I do it very good. It´s not only the *technique* but the feeling you put on it. So? yes I am insecure in *this area* and also I am a perfectionist when it comes to the things I do. And therefore, maybe deep deep inside I don´t feel that I am *good enough* to perform in front of an audience. Strange thing this phobia...

I will work with my Reiki and Sacred Stones Master, and we´ll definitely have to do something about this.

Here, some links I found, which I will read and see what I´ll do about this. I can´t get it back. Full stop. !!

Keep on moving, keep climbing

The lyrics are beautiful. And I believe they apply to both of us. I need to find the faith in what I am capable of doing. And I need to stop thinking that I won´t be able to do the things I love to make a living.

You...you´re continuously growing, in your career and in your life and in your spirit. Don´t stop climbing. There are amazing things up there for you.



The Climb
Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin but
there's a voice inside my head sayin
you'll never reach it
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shakin but I
I gotta keep on trying
Gotta keep my head held high
[Chorus]
there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
It's always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about whats waitin on the other side
it's the climb
The struggles I'm facin
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breakin
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on
[Chorus]
Cause there always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
It's always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about whats waitin on the other side
it's the climb, yeah
[Chorus]
there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes your gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what waitin on the other side
it's the climb yeah yeah
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith baby

The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

siempre hermosa...







TRUE COLORS

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Nada es normal



Take an acoustic guitar, two beautiful voices, a sexy portugese accent,
sweet lyrics and music. what do you get?



Victor & Leo
*Nada Es Normal*
La luz vas a apagar y el cielo a encender
todo está tranquilo por aquí.
Te voy a conocer, me voy a apasionar,
no hay mucho mas que decir.


Estamos frente a frente
nuestros labios no resisten,
nuestros ojos son testigos, el amor existe
todo es tan real, pero nada es normal.
Jamás había vivido un sentimiento tan profundo
quedarme aquí a tu lado
es lo mas lindo de este mundo
todo es tan real, pero nada es normal.


Te voy a conocer, me voy a apasionar,
no hay mucho mas que decir.
Estamos frente a frente
nuestros labios no resisten,
nuestros ojos son testigos, el amor existe
todo es tan real, pero nada es normal.


Jamás había vivido un sentimiento tan profundo
quedarme aquí a tu lado
es lo mas lindo de este mundo
todo es tan real, pero nada es normal.

Ya No Es Asi !!!!!

Moenia - Ya No Es Asi : "Album: Adicion (1999); Track: 08

Hoy me voy a levantar y quiero comenzar
un día que no lastime.
No tendré que preguntar por donde caminar.
Y no tienen que seguirme.

El sol me quemará la cara
pero yo no diré nada.
Porque si alguna vez creí que nunca iba a salir
Ahora sé que ya no es asi.

Fueron tantas las mañanas sin luz en mi ventana
mis ojos no podían verla.
Noches sin saber de sueño por miedo a no ser el dueño
de lo que pudiera ser.

Y voy curando las heridas de todas las cosas vividas.
Si otras veces me perdí queriendo escapar de aquí.
Ahora sé que ya no es asi.
Ahora sé que ya no es asi."

Driving. Not too fast, not too slow... Love is my co-pilot.



Again...this song. I feel through music... this song has been accompanying me for the past months, on and on... I started driving towards a place I don´t know ... I haven´t discovered where this road will take me, but I know that the static phase is all over.
There are some lines about the previous post that had a *strange* impact on me last night.
*Perhaps the most important message to take away from The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die is that it’s never too late to start leading a meaningful life. Age doesn’t matter. All you need is the knowledge and the will to change.


A frequent message on The BridgeMaker is to not allow shame, regret or fear keep you from creating the life that you want. No matter what the past holds, it is the past. Life is about moving forward; about living a life that resonates with truth and purpose.*
I am true to my essence. I love, grow and learn every day. Some of us learn the hard way... and I have learnt a lot lately. Yes, the hard way, and with so much pain. But at the end of the road I want to be able to turn back and see that I could change and that there is a great power that moves me every minute to be strong and to give love.
Funny to see how only a few weeks ago I read my horoscope and it said * While it may seem as though you’ve got the short end of whatever stick you covet, you’ve actually got limitless potential for more of whatever you want. Especially love — unfathomable amounts of love.* ... I laughed in a cynical way and said *yeah right... as if !*.
And today after all that happened, and after taking the dark glasses of my eyes and my heart, I can say that it is SO true, there are indeed unfathomable amounts of love. I am blessed with so many loving souls around me. And the love I give has no limits either.
So I just drive... and love is my co-pilot.


Sometimes, I feel the fear of,
uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask
myself how much I'll let the fear
take the wheel and steer.

It's driven me before, and it seems to a faint,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I, am beginning to find that I,
should be the one behing the wheel.

Chorus

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
I'll be there....

So if I, decide to waiver my,
chance to be one of, the hive.
Will I, choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive?

It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way,
that everyone else gets around,
But lately I'm, beginning to find that,
When I drive myself my light is found.

Chorus

Would you choose, water over wine,
hold the wheel and drive...

ChorusBlink and you miss a beat
Keep pne of your eyes open at all times.
Think that you're on the brink?
The shit hasn't even begun to hit the fan.
Consequence you'll see will be stranger
than a ganng of drunken mimes.
Situation has a stink.
Better clear the air before
your son becomes a man.

Blink, everything's been augmented,
you've been left so far behind.
I think, for sure, next time
you should wear a pair of eyes
in the back or your head.
Consequence you've seen
has been stranger than si-fi of any kind.
Situation baffles me,
I guess it's ture, you too
are one of the walking dead.

(Chorus):
You better think fast!
Casue you never know
whats comming around the bend.
You better not blink!
For consequence is a bigger
word than you think.
It's bigger than you or me
(Repeat) Chorus

I think I´ll follow my heart...






Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be


Chorus:
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start


Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as they go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go


Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be


(chorus)
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go

...ni todo son espinas ni todo son rosas...



...una canción para mi AMOR...


TE DIGO AMOR
MIGUEL BOSE

Amor , te digo amor y suena diferente
Amor que pronunciado en eso se convierte
Y voy más lejos……..
Amor que todo entiende y da a todo un sentido
Amor y punto
Amor ¿ porqué creía que te había perdido ?

Amor de mis pecados dale a la tormenta
Que nadie sepa
Cueste lo que cueste, duela lo que sienta
Pero así es la vida
Me cierras tantas puertas , tanta otras me abres
Y no hay salida
Sea lo que quieras, pase lo que nos pase…..

No sé no sé no sé
Cuanto sabes de mi
Pero dejo que me puedas
Y permito que me lleves
Poco importa lo que hagas de mi

No sé no sé no sé
Qué es lo que quieres de mi
Me cuestionas, me estremeces
Que me arrastres o me eleves
Lo importante es lo que hagas de mi
De mi…….

Suave , sereno…

Amor, querido amor así se dan las cosas
que no te mientan
Ni todo son espinas , ni todo son rosas
No te imaginas

Amor de mis amores y con ésto ya acabo
Así de claro
Amor ¿ dónde estuviste amor , dónde has estado ?

No sé no sé no sé
Cuanto sabes de mi
Pero dejo que me puedas
Y permito que me lleves
Poco importa lo que hagas de mi

No sé no sé no sé
Qué es lo que quieres de mi
Me cuestionas, me estremeces
Que me arrastres o me eleves
Lo importante es lo que hagas de mi

Hay amores que vienen y van
No vuelven a darse en la vida
(érase una vez la historia de una herida)
hay amores y hay un ¡ ay amor!
Amor que se lleva la vida
(érase una vez que quise qué quería)
