Three Day Lyrical Challenge – ‘When We Were Young’ Song 3 Day 3

This has been so exciting and new. I’ve had a good time doing this challenge, thank you again Happymess Happiness for the nomination.

If there’s something I’ve experienced is that music can move you to the core, a song will take you places – a specific place, a song will bring a tear to your eyes, tears of sadness or joy, but it’ll bring you a memory, a song will take you to a particular time, an hour, a minute in time, even make you feel a little melancholy. I also think unconsciously we also put on a song, sad or upbeat, all based on how we feel on the inside.

The Rules Are Simple:

1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

The Song/Lyrics I Want To Share With You Today Is:

I couldn’t leave the ‘Three Day Lyrical Challenge’ without including Adele. She carries a special place in my ‘musical’ heart. These are the rare artists that sing and your heart is moved, because the mind goes to a place it seldom goes. And to me, this song When We Were Young from Adele, does just that. Enjoy.

Adele – ‘When We Were Young’

[Verse 1]
Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk to the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
Cause you feel like home, you’re like a dream come true
But if by chance you’re here alone
Can I have a moment before I go?
Cause I’ve been by myself all night long
Hoping you’re someone I used to know

[Pre-Chorus]
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young

[Chorus]
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time that we might
Be exactly like we were before we realised
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song

[Verse 2]
I was so scared to face my fears
Nobody told me that you’d be here
And I swear you’d moved overseas
That’s what you said when you left me

[Pre-Chorus]
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young

[Chorus]
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time that we might
Be exactly like we were before we realised
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song

[Refrain]
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)
(When we were young)

[Bridge]
It’s hard to admit that everything just takes me back
To when you were there, to when you were there
And a part of me keeps holding on just in case it hasn’t gone
Cause I still care, do you still care?

Three Day Lyrical Challenge – ‘Chichi Peralta’ (Spanish) Song 2 Day 2

I was nominated for the ‘Three Day Lyrical Challenge’ by Happymess Happiness and today is day number two. I enjoy all genres of music and it’s hard to say which would be my favorite. So, in this challenge I also wanted to include a Spanish song because, well, I do speak Spanish and enjoy anything from Romeo to Juan Luis Guerra, DLG, Grupo Niche, Son By Four, Eddy Herrera, Luis Enrique, Rey Ruiz, Giro López, Hansel y Raul, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Basilos, Monchy y Alexandra, to name a few. Do you know any of these, was it nice to have gone back to the good ‘ole ‘old school’ songs, you know?! They’re my favorite!

The Rules Are Simple:

1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Share one of your favorite song/lyrics one at a time for three days.
3. Nominate three other bloggers each day.

The Song/Lyrics I Want To Share With You Today Is:

This song is so loving, it speaks about how love can make you feel, so unpredictable and yet also get you so tangled, so confused and trapped even when you want to get away – and can’t. It’s a kind of love that can be compared to a toxic that gives you such an effect that’s hard to let go but even then, it’s what you want and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Have you been there, have you felt this kind of love? I think it’s worth having felt this love – at least once in your lifetime. Enjoy.

Chichi Peralta – ‘Amor Narcótico’ (Spanish Lyrics)

Tu amor es algo tímido, reñido
Es algo típico
“Nada especial”
Eso dirían los demás

Tu amor es una trampa
Es una lanza que traspasa
La tranquilidad es algo loco
Nada más

Es tan imprescindible
Tan sensible que se irrita
Cuando gritas cuando quieres respirar

Tu amor es algo tímido, reñido

Es algo típico
“Nada especial”
Eso dirían los demás

Tu amor es como un tóxico

Es un efecto narcótico
Que amarra
Cuando quieres libertad

Y te quiero así

Tan satírica y fanática
Te quiero así, cuando vives
Cuando matas con o sin razón
Cuando callas cuando hablas

Cuando amas

Y te quiero así
Cuando alargas en el acto
Toda mi pasión

Cuando logras estrujarme
Con fascinación
No pretendo alejarme no quiero
Yo no puedo porque te quiero así
Así, así

Tu amor es tan apático
Tan lúcido, romántico
Y algo brutal
Es una mezcla singular

Te arrulla, te desvela
Te calienta, te congela
Desorden total es algo loco nada más

Es tan impredecible

Tan sensible que se irrita
Cuando gritas cuando quieres respirar

Tu amor es como un tóxico
Es un efecto narcótico

Que amarra
Cuando quieres libertad

Y te quiero así:
Tan satírica y fanática

Te quiero así, cuando vives

Cuando matas con o sin razón
Cuando callas cuando hablas
Cuando amas

Y te quiero así
Cuando alargas en el acto
Toda mi pasión
Cuando logras estrujarme

Con fascinación
No pretendo alejarme no quiero
Yo no puedo porque te quiero así
Así, así

Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Tu amor es tímido, reñido
Es algo típico, pero así yo te quiero

Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Te quiero así no tengo la culpa
No tengo motivo no tengo razón

Pero te quiero tanto, tanto tanto amor
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Es una trampa, es una lanza

Que traspaza mi quietud
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Cosa de fuerza mayor que se amarra

Cuando quiero libertad
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así

Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Te quiero así no tengo la culpa
No tengo motivo no tengo razón
Pero te quiero tanto, tanto tanto amor

Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así
Yo tengo el gusto de quererte

Tu amor me arrulla, me desvela
Me calienta, me congela me vive me mata
Así, yo tengo el gusto de quererte
Es que tú sabes que te quiero así

Chichi Peralta – ‘Try’ (Translated to English)

Try and seduce me slowly and I won’t stop to think

About all the things I’ll do to you

Try and walk like you were sea wave

And I assure you I’ll sink

Inside your swaying, forever

Maybe it’s better if you to keep your distance

Because maybe the temptation of imagining

How near… just how near I could be to you

Has taken over me and I just can’t give it up

(Chorus x3)

Try and flirt with me even more

And I won’t stop to think about what I’ll do to you

Try and become a part of me

And I assure you I’ll sink in you

Try and stop looking at me

And you will never know what you will be missing

This is a dilemma that neither you nor I

Can escape from

Woman, try

To make my heart beat faster, try to do it, woman

Woman, try it

And I assure you I’ll sink in you, try to do it, woman

Woman, try it

My heart is beating faster

Woman, try it

Because your day will come

Woman, try it

You know there’s a full moon tonight

Woman, try

To make my heart beat faster, try to do it, woman

Woman, try

To get your lips close to mine

Woman, try

To flirt with me, slowly

Woman, try

To make me fall in your arms

Woman, try it

And I assure you I’ll sink in you, try to do it, woman

Woman, try it

The Song/Lyrics I Want To Share With You Today Is:

I wanted to share this song in particular because while living with chronic pain, little things like a good upbeat song, brings me to the greatest of moods. While I don’t always have time – nor am I ‘up to date’ with the current ‘jams,’ this song I especially like. It’s by the group ‘Walk The Moon’ and the song is, ‘Shut Up and Dance’ – it gives me a little Rick Astley ‘Together Forever’ vibes.

Walk The Moon – ‘Shut Up And Dance’

Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you’re holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh we were bound to get together
Bound to get together

She took my arm
I don’t know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you’re holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

A backless dress and some beat up sneaks
My discotheque Juliet teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together

She took my arm
I don’t know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you’re holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

Oh, c’mon girl
Deep in her eyes
I think I see the future
I realize this is my last chance

She took my arm
I don’t know how it happened
We took the floor and she said

Oh don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you’re holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance

Don’t you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you’re holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

Oh oh oh shut up dance with me
Oh oh oh shut up dance with me
