Luchando nuestros derechos educaciónarios

Los tropiezos de la vida las (va) manejando
Esta dama no se raje solo se sabe rifar

Verse 3:
Ya vamos creciendo, yo en la adolescencia
Allí la voy rifando en la Wy'East y en el Green Valley

Aun con mis defectos no me plasmo y voy delante
Niña tímida y tierna tiene un character fuerte

Chorus:
Los tropiezos de la vida las voy manejando
Esta dama no se raje solo se sabe rifar.

Bridge:
Que pase la graduada voy a seguir adelante con mis triunfos con la vida adulta

La primera de mi herencia formo ejercer una carrera en la universidad

18 años voy cruzando la frontera de la niñez pasando la linea adulta

Pero hija de dos padres cien por cientos Mexicanos no les importa saber mi estado adultéz si por ellos me enjaulan en la etapa niñez y me tengo que huir.

Verse 4:
19 años, consegui un trabajo
y por lo menos conseguí el permiso de manejar.

Manejo yo mi tiempo de la escuela y la chamba
vendito a Dios con buenos grados la supe rifar.

Pre Chorus:
Poco a poco y mis jefes me dejaran volar
y de a poco esta paloma pronto volara

Chorus:
Los tropiezos de la vida las voy manejando
Esta dama no se raje solo se sabe rifar

Ending Phrase:
Ya con esta me despido, la vida es para aventajar.

Dentro de a poco quedo enviciada del -
Veneno de su amor

Se me hace muy extraño que me habla seguido
Y cada vez que pienso en el me saca un lindo sospiro
Y aunque me siento amada
Me pongo el traje de batalla
Yo no puedo caer en esa trampa
Que me esta conquistando el corazón!

Como se siente bonito cuando te dan - cariño
Me da de su calor pero me plasmo un ratito

(English Translation)

Verse 1:

How must it feel very nice when they give you - their affection

He grabs my hand towards his neck as we are dancing slowly as we sway around.

And within his magic
It gets to me and I feel the poison
and within a bit I get addicted to
the poison of his love

Verse 2:

There's something pretty strange about the way we're dancing

He gives me some of his warmth; I tag along as we're dancing

And as I'm hooked towards him
I can't fall into the trap falling for it
All of my life I was always able to escape that worst obstacle

Chorus:
Oh - save me from this obstacle
Because it's like a never ending battle
of where I encounter with the obstacle
I'm fighting against the obstacle
running away from that obstacle to save my heart
And I manage to run away from that obstacle in order to save my heart.

Verse 3:

How must it feel very nice when you receive the sweet talk

In when he wispers to my ear warming me up with that sweet talk

And though I'm so up for it

I fear that he'll soon be deceiving

I've never had the experience of what it's like to have a heart touching love

Verse 4:
It seems real strange to me that he talks to me consistently

And every time I think of him; I let out that - sigh.

And though I feel all that loving

I put my armor of battle to fight against it

I shouldn't fall into the trap towards the feeling that he's conquering my heart

(Chorus)

How must it feel very nice when they give you - their affection

He gives me some of his warmth I just stand there like a statue

And within his magic
It gets to me and I feel the poison

Will it be better if I'm able to run away from that darn obstacle?

Verse1:
I once had my questions
I once had my doubts and
I had no assurance
Was lost in the faith..
Verse 2:
Then you've shown your presence
I was enlightened (I saw your light then)
To know I'm forgiven
I'm saved by your grace

So I lift my hands giving you praise (IV-V)

Chorus:
I give praise to you Lord (4(2)x)

Verse1:
Everyday is a rush and we're running to get there on time (I better)

Keep my energy high to increase these expectations of mine (I better)

Pre Chorus:
Work Harder
Run Faster
Think Smarter
Be Wiser

Pre-Choral Verse:
Gotta reach to the traffic hour before I get left out behind (I Better)

Pre Chorus:
Work Harder
Run Faster
Think Smarter
Be Wiser

Pre-Choral Verse:
Gotta defeat the rush hour but the traffic's got me spinning around

Chorus:
Got me spinning around...

Verse 2:
Getting loaded with more work I'm running on coffee just to keep me alive (I have to)

Deal with stressor by stressor to complete this task and have it turned in on time (I'm working)

Pre-Chorus 2:
Day by Day
Time by Time
Week by Week (I gotta)
Get to the grind

Pre-Choral verse:
It's a never ending story
and once I am done
there's always more to come by (I'm working)

Pre-Chorus 2:
Day by Day
Time by Time
Week by Week (I gotta)
Get to the grind

Pre-Choral Verse:
It's a never ending story to face
and the caffeine's got me spinning around

Chorus:

Got me Spinning around...

Thought of how college life can be hectic at time, and placed it into a song, with the irony of using calm, relaxing Lo-fi vibe music with the lyrics talking about being in a rush all the time.

(English Version on the bottom...)

Verse:

Sola, sin nadien que se arrime junto a mi

Sola, sola no siempre quiero estar así

En un evento estoy sola, en un almuerzo estoy sola

Sola, sola no siempre quiero estar así;

Quiero, pasar mi tiempo con alguien por fin.

Con alguien y no estar sola, con un grupo y no estar sola

Pre-Chorus:

Pero con esta amarga timidez, y con el pensamiento introvertido, no me deja socializar y aun me quedo sola otro ratito

En querer conectar y gozar con alguien, y yo quiero quebrar el hielo, pero el gato me agarra la lengua, y y aquí estoy sola y me quedo

Chorus:

Allá y paca me muevo con el ritmo si alguien me notara pero ni me pelan un ratito

Allá y paca mi pensamiento introvertido no me deja ser social; me pasa y con nadie convivo!

Mejor prefiero estar sola. Vivir, bailar gozar sola.

(English)

Verse:

Lonely, with no one who would dare be close to me

Lonely, lonely is not what I'd always want to be

In an event and I'm lonely, and during lunch I am lonely

Lonely, lonely is not what I'd always want to be

I'd want to-spend my time with somebody finally

With someone and not be lonely, with a group and not be lonely

Pre chorus:

But with this sour timidness, and with this mentality so introverted, they don't let me socialize, and here I stand alone for another while

In wanting to connect; enjoy my time with someone, and I want to break the ice, but the cat will grab my tongue and here I am standing all alone

Chorus:
Over here, over there I' moving with the rhythm if somebody's noticed me but they won't even notice me a bit

Over here, over there the introvert inside me; I cannot even connect; it happened; I don't hang with no one!

and so I'd rater be lonely, to dance; enjoy and live lonely

Sola, no es tan mal siempre estar así.

Prefiero, estar solita sin el drama aqui.

Mejor calmada y sola, mejor tranquila y estar sola

Pre-Chorus 2:

Pero la fiesta es a todo dar, y el ambiente muy entretenido,

Yo no me puedo aguantar; yo tengo que saber que hay mas allá

Y yo quiero ya incluirme en el mitote y si me invitan a gozar este baile,

Que no me importa lo que hagan, yo siempre ha sido buena para el huateque

(Chorus)

I can't help myself anymore, I have to figure out what is out there more

And I want to now join in and crash the party, and what if they invite me into the dance floor? It's best that I don't care about what they're doing, I've always been real good about being in a party.

(Chorus)

The Mountain
Verse 1:

Among the Earth, life just feels a little heavy, from where to start and where to go-if I'd climb from the ground to the peak? Will I ever make it to the peak?.

(Though)I feel you strength, feel the deepness of you power, You light me up when I'm clueless ‘bout how my life is going to be, you're the one I look up to you see?

Chorus:

As I climb the mountain, climbing all with my might, who said this was easy!? But I can't give up easy.

Life can be a struggle, but the future is so bright; you guide me with your starlight ,I put my faith in you Christ!

Christ the lord will guide my soul.

Verse 3:

I'm over here and I'm climbing up the mountain, and within all of my strength,I'm gonna reach to the top and I'll see, the beauty that you've provided for me

As I keep climbing things just get a little heavy, I can't look down onto the ground I have to look at the top and I'll see the future that you've provided for me
(Chorus)
