Paty Cantú - La Mexicana versuri traducere în engleză

English
A A

The Mexican

They say distance is forgetfulness
But I, my lovely angel,1
Will never stop loving you

You know I've got blood in three colors2
My tongue full of your flavors
They taste of earth and mezcal3

I am the Juana4, the firebreather
The one who never shows up first
But knows how to show up
But knows how to show up

Oh, I wouldn't trade you for all the money in the world
For you I'd kill myself, and with you I will die
I know where I'm going and where I come from
Because if I am anybody, oh I owe it to you

Na-nara-nara-nara-na...
Shut up, don't talk, kiss me again and again
Hold me tight and I swear
I'm not going to let you go

I am the Felix5, the firebreather
I am the daughter of boleros6
I am the Mexican7, hey
I am the Mexican, hey

Oh, I wouldn't trade you for all the money in the world
For you I'd kill myself, and with you I will die
I know where I'm going and where I come from
Because if I am anybody, oh I owe it to you

Mitza, Mitza8
Your hills full of colored poppies
Of flavors, my beloved Mexico
The ones in the north, your most beautiful flowers
Drinking mezcal, I howl at night

Sexy Mexican, what's goin' on?
Do I sing to you with a guitar, or burn down your house?
Hot mama, Holy Mother
I move merchandise from Yucatan to Tijuana9

With my moves, knock-knock10
With my moves, knock-knock
With my moves, with my moves
With my moves, knock-knock

Oh, I wouldn't trade you for all the money in the world (And leave it right there)
For you I'd kill myself, and with you I will die (I'm pure fire)
I know where I'm going, I know very well where I come from (Sexy Mexican, hey)
Because if I am anybody, oh I owe it to you (Sexy Mexican)

With my moves, knock-knock (Yo')
With my moves, knock-knock (Mitza, Mitza)
With my moves, with my moves
With my moves, knock-knock
Feet, what do I need them for, if I have wings to fly?11

Aoi Mizuno - がんばれ My Friend (Ganbare My Friend) versuri traducere în engleză

Try Your Best, My Friend

I laid down, paying no mind to my skirt, and
Basked in the sunlight filtering through tree branches
You know, I'd almost forgotten
How high the blue sky was

I also want to convey to you
Seeming lonely as you looked down

Let's Wake Up
Try your best My Friend
Being shy won't do any good
Start sending yourself some encouragement

Say goodbye
To the sadness My Friend
If you don't start by liking yourself
Then nothing will begin
Always

A whimsical present from God
Everyday's depressing
But if you discover how
To live life in your own way
Then you'll receive energy

The times are always
Repeatedly alternating between
Yes and No

If you realize it, then
Try your best My Friend
I'm pretty sure that happiness is
Something you decide on your own

Proceed ahead
Without rushing things My Friend
If you can be honest with yourself
Then you'll be able to see love's courage
Always

When you get lost along the way
And you're feeling tired
Look up at the starry sky and take a deep breath

Let's Wake Up
Try your best My Friend
In times of difficulty
I'll always be by your side, okay?

Say goodbye
To the sadness My Friend
Just seeing your smile
Makes me feel happy
Always

The Last Word

Ah, this is going awfully!

How many nights, days, hours and seconds is it going to be?
Am I even allowed to look at you, sit next to you in the meantime?
How many nights, days, hours and seconds until it's like it used to be?

How many months and weeks until we break the ice?
Feels like we're running a marathon, no one wins the race1
How many nights can we rewind until after?

You get to be right
I fold right away for you2
You might be right
You get the last word
The last word
You get the last word

It's not what and not when and not how you say it
But I'm sick of playing guessing games, just say something
So just (?) the problem or leave it

You get to be right
I fold right away for you
You might be right
You get the last word
The last word
You get the last word

The quiet game ends here
Tell me, tell me what it is
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me it's us again
The quiet game ends here
Tell me, tell me what it is
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me it's us again

You get to be right
I fold right away for you
You might be right
You get the last word
The last word
You get the last word

(Ah, ah)
You get the last word
(Ah, ah)
You get the last word
(Ah, ah)
You get the last word
(Ah, ah)
The last word
You get the last word

1. lit: no one wins the mile
2. lit: I lay down flat for you

Orphaned in the wild emigration

Since young, since young,
ah, I was orphaned, ah, I was orphaned,
in the wild emigration,
and I wasn't get used to,
and now, what will it happen with me,
Oh God, in a foreign land?

Deathly, oh God,
deathly, oh God,
oh God, I got ill
oh God, I got ill,
I went deathly ill,
oh God, and now what should I do?
Oh God, the unbearable of the emigration
oh God, and I am not get used to.

Not a doctor, not a doctor,
can't be found, oh God, it can't be found,
to heal my soul,
oh God, to save my body.

Oh God, the unbearable of the emigration,
oh God, and I am not get used to.

Safe bets

In our home, you only think of yourself
And it feels like the darkness has become our friend
So now we take it for granted, pretending that nothing has happened
Like every time one of us gets burnt
She always gets left alone in the flames to suffer
It's written between the lines, no help

You hit all my sensitive spots, only place safe bets
And I'll never forget what you've done

I remember you said that he's only a friend
Alright, why did you sleep with him again?
Maybe you take me for granted, maybe you don't notice
But way too many times when I get home
I'm forced to lurk in the shadows by myself
Because you place safe bets every night

But every time I feel like luck is on my side
Will you turn it back again?
And maybe I'm exaggerating but that's how it fucking feels

You hit all my sensitive spots, only place safe bets
And I'll never forget what you've done

I remember you said that he's only a friend
Alright, why did you sleep with him again?
Maybe you take me for granted, maybe you don't notice
But way too many times when I get home
I'm forced to lurk in the shadows by myself
Because you place safe bets every night

I remember you said that he's only a friend
Alright, why did you sleep with him again?
Maybe you take me for granted, maybe you don't notice
But way too many times when I get home
I'm forced to lurk in the shadows by myself
Because you place safe bets every night, oh
