Gloria Trevi - Las Pequeñas Cosas

Lyrics Source - http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=2224735

Music Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D20UhFv95hg

Video with Lyrics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mojNpMzaCd4

I get out of bed, late. What a joy, another day, is born. And the sun is insolent, It gets into every corner. Today, the alarm did not go off,  Thank you for that favor.

I comb my hair Although you may not believe it I look in the mirror That I'm not so ugly I go to the kitchen, I open the refrigerator We’re out of milk, I take whatever I open the window and let the sun touch me ...

What a joy, another day, lives. On the radio, a voice sings to me. And I wake him up, Good morning my love. Wake up sleepy head I’m cheating on you with the sun.

Lighting a cigarette, although I should not. He yells at me to stop, I invite him to try. He’s like a boy I know what he’s thinking. I stop resisting, let him do what he wants after all, all I want him.

The little things of every day They are the great things that I have in life. Warm arms, A cold night, A full moon; What delicious food! A kiss in the cinema and another where the sun does not shine..

Is his warmth an extension of the sun .. His kisses shine on me alone

And the sun is insolent It gets into every corner Today, the alarm did not go off, Thank you for that favor.

3X The little things of every day, They are the great things that I have in life. Warm arms, A cold night, A full moon: What delicious food! A kiss in the cinema and another where the sun does not shine.

Los Invasores de Nuevo Leon - Mi Nueva Casa

Lalo Mora, one of the legendary artists that popularized Nortena music. Here is one of his most famous hit songs that is always played during any party. Very dance able but also very sad. 

Lyrics Source - http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=843998

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PjztnRoAUE

Shockingly no video with lyrics 

I wrote you a letter and you did not answer me. I went looking for you and you’ve changed address. As since I have some things to tell you, you’ve forced me to sing you this song.

I left my house to live happily with you, and you paid me as some who underpay. It’s your fault that I'm living where I live now, and to this life I can’t get used to. 

Sometimes I cry when I’m very close to bottles especially when I remember you. If dawns I can’t see the stars,  it darkens and they never shines for me.

A record player and two friends are with me. My new home is very different to the others. The window has a colored sign on it, and it’s any one (female) who is taking your place.

What else do you want from me? If all you already gave you everything. I gave you my love, I gave you my trust, I gave you my heat.

What else do you want from me? I gave you my life. For just a minute, for just a little bit, of your great passion

And all of that for what, And all of that for what? Why so much love? Why did you trick, why did you enamor,  My heart.

And all of that for what, And all of that for what? If in the end I lost. But I do not regret (anything), If at any time You made me happy

What else do you want from me? Where do you want to go? Have you have not noticed, that by not looking at you,   you can you kill me

What else do you want from me? Tell me please. I can no longer find the words, I can not find the way for you to know my love.

And all of that for what, And all of that for what? Why so much love? Why did you trick, why did you enamor, My heart?

And all of that for what, And all of that for what? If in the end I lost. But I do not regret (anything), If at any time You made me happy.

And all of it for what?

Words in parentheses and italics are for the music video: 

(The nobility of the art of music is the greatest treasure we have in the world.     It is as if love and music were made for one another.)

Having met you, is the best thing that has happened,  

(that is all for today, have a nice day, we will see each other tomorrow.) 

even all tells me I’m cheesy. But who cares if that works with you 10/10 for those who presented us to each other. You are my opportunity,  I love you I love you.

(How was my presentation today? / Great job! It impresses me how you always mix literature with music!)

Pretty little girl, I like you I like you. Thank you for coming into my life With you I found what any man is looking for; tenderness in the soul and not a waist size. Pretty little girl, I like you I like you. It seems incredible to have you in my arms; that even of my poverty you’ve fallen in love (with). That’s why, wherever you go, I’ll tell you.. I LOVE YOU

Pretty little girl, I like you I like you. Thank you for coming into my life 

(When words fail, music speaks! 417 Madison Ave, 7PM)

Here I am established, in the United States, 10 years have passed already.  Since I have crossed as a wetback,  I have not fixed papers (legal documentation); I'm still an illegal I have my wife and my children, I brought them very young, and they have already forgotten; of my beloved Mexico which I can never forget and that I can not return.

What good does money serve me? if I am a prisoner, within this great nation. When I remember I even cry, although the cage is gold, it doesn’t stop being a  prison.

\ "Listen son, would you want to come back to live in Mexico, \" What's you talkin About Dad ?, I do not wanna go back to MEXICO, no way dad.

My children do not talk to me, they have learned another language, and forgotten Spanish. They think like Americans, they deny that they are Mexican even if they have my color. From my work to my house, I do not know what happens to me, although I am a family man. I hardly go out into the street, I have fear that they find me, and they would deported.

What good does money serve me? if I am a prisoner, within this great nation. When I remember I even cry, although the cage is gold, it doesn’t stop being a  prison.

You said hello, with a smile that by the way so cute as the sky itself. I made you nervous when I touched your hair out of playfulness It was the first time I looked at you, everything was so tender. I never forgot it...

I said my name, you told me yours and then chatted a few hours there was connection from the first moment you looked beautiful. You were like an angel and from pure desire I gave you a rose ...

And I asked you,  "Tell me about you" all your tastes, how old are you and what do you do if you’re going out with someone maybe and hopefully I find you alone and tell me what if you think there is such thing as love at first sight the truth is, I do ...

"Tell me about you" Tell me your sorrows or if someone has ever hurt you. If your heart is free for now or is it already busy because I think from today someone has stolen mine. and that someone is you. "Tell me about you" and hopefully tell me that you’re available only for me...

Calle 13- La Vuelta al Mundo

lyrics source: http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=1905131

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_zZmsFZDaM

video with Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htuf1wBLY8M

Don’t give me anymore books, because I won’t read them.  What I have learned, it’s because I have seen (it).  As the years pass, I contradict myself when I think.  Time doesn’t move me, I move with time.  I am, the will to live; the will to cross; the desire to know what’s beyond the sea. 

I expect my mouth will never shut up.  I also expect that these turbines on this plane will never fail me.  I don’t have everything figured out, or my life in order.  I only have a smile and I expect one in return. 

I trust in destiny, and in the waves.  I don’t believe in church, but I believe the look in your eyes. You are the sun on my face, when it lifts me up. I am the life I already have, you are the life that I’m missing (left). So grab your bag, the bundle, the little things, the luggage, the suitcase, and your backpack with all your toys. 

And! Give me your hand, Let’s go around the world, Go around the world. Go around the world. (x2)

The rent, the salary, the office job, I changed it for the stars and grains of sand. I escaped from the routine, to pilot my own trip. Because the cube I lived in, became my landscape. I was an object, waiting to turn to ash. One day I decided to listen to the breeze. To go sliding after your blouse, no one convinced me, your smile convinced me.  

And I went after you, chasing my instinct.  If you want real change, then start walking differently.  I am going to escape to the closest constellation.  Luck is my oxygen, your eyes are my windows.  I want to run across 7 lakes, in one day.  Feel on my thighs, the coldness of you ass.  To reach the top of the earth, to hug the clouds.  To go under water, and watch the bubbles go up. 

And! Give me your hand, Let’s go around the world, Go around the world. Go around the world. (x2)

How are you my friend, so much time has passed and today we see each other by chance. I already know that it surprises you you expected to see me strong the truth is that I'm pretty bad. How are those friends? How are those projects going? Has the city changed? What can you tell me about her? And if she asks about me,  do not tell her the truth ...

Don’t tell her that I still drink from the same cup I use the same clothes, that I still  live at the same place. Don’t tell her that my star stopped shining.  Tell her that I'm successful ...

How are you my friend, so much time has passed and today we see each other by chance. You didn’t expect to see me with a pair of torn bags and my pride at my feet.   How are those friends? How are those projects going? Has the city changed? What can you tell me about her? And if she asks about me, do not tell the truth ...

Don’t tell her that I still drink from the same cup I use the same clothes, that I still  live at the same place. Don’t tell her that my star stopped shining. Tell him I'm successful ...

do not tell her ....

With simple words I want to tell you today, I like you from head to toe. It is clearer than water that I need you. I like you totally completely.  And it’s that your beauty is incomparable, Nature was kind to you. I made the right choice to choose you To always be with me.

I like everything about you Your smile, your eyes, your face And that sweet way to talk If you kiss me you take me to heaven I feel like the wind. 

I like everything about you You are unique, inside and out By your side everything is so perfect You're more than I deserve And no doubt, as I like you.

Calle 13 - Los Idiotas

Video with Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQiyM021DWU

Lyrics Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/calle13/losidiotas.html

Some are born idiots, others learn how,

others pretend to be like idiots and try to convince us.

You can believe what you want/ Today even math won’t save you,

Everyone has at least some percentage of idiocy in their genes.

To separate ourselves with the arrogance that the we are the world’s center,

it’s better to unite yourself with the idiot that we all have inside of ourselves.

Christopher Columbus discovered America by pure coincidence

that’s why to be an idiot; some intelligence is required .

Idiocy has some good points in its favor: it’s the only disease

where the inflicted doesn’t suffer except those around him.

Asking good questions helps to keep it from being contagious.

Idiocy becomes pandemic when no one questions anything.

This disease doesn’t let you lie, because it shows.

That’s why when you’re in love, you smile like an idiot.

The idiots always feel safe about everything they say, because:

They talk about what they know and what they don’t, they make it up.

Even though it sounds weird, I listen to idiots,

to have a genius that doesn’t say anything, 

I prefer to have an idiot that talks a lot.

And from everything they talk, I may hear a good idea.

Of those that the wise man kept, for fear of being judged.

(x2)

An idiot is the one that doesn’t learn from the past,

An uninformed that doesn’t listen to the informed

An idiot below the level,

An idiot is the one who believes that everyone below him is an idiot .

In all the jobs a boss does, the stupidest job is the one you don’t enjoy.

When looking for a job it’s good to be an idiot

because when you’re smart, they prefer not to hire you

Keeping the smart people down without growing

Is the most important rule for an idiot in power

But it would be an idiocy to take your life in such a serious way

We need more idiots so that comedy can exist.

And to be able to laugh at them and also about yourself.

Being an idiot isn’t bad, if you have optimism

Very little understanding much explanation is exhausting

One is more intelligent when they think like an idiot

You simplify the responses in this complicated world

While the wise is worried, the idiot is relaxed

Even though idiocy can also make you nervous.

There is nothing more worrisome than a dangerous idiot.

His most dangerous weapon is misinforming people,

they are dangerous idiots with the face of presidents.

There is no one perfect here, we all make mistakes,

but we need idiots, to learn how to be better

(x2)

An idiot is the one that doesn’t learn from the past,

An uninformed that doesn’t listen to the informed

An idiot below the level,

An idiot is the one who believes that everyone below him is an idiot .

Juanes- Nada Valgo Sin Ti

Video with Lyrics : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP-nwlmVYb0

Lyrics Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/juanes/nadavalgosintuamor.html

As time passes and we get older it starts to seem that our hurts weigh us down more than the years, in the end.  So I want to spend my years with you my eternal love with my family with my friends and my voice

Because I'm worth nothing because I have nothing if I don’t have the best; Your love and company in my heart.

And it’s that a late year is worth more than an empty century love And it’s that it’s worth more to have a full heart So I want your love to always be strong in my mind,  even if we are far away or even if we're near the end

Because I'm worth nothing, because I have nothing, if I don’t have the best; Your love and company in my heart Come here love...

I feel weak when I'm without you And I become strong when you're here Without you I do not know what living is My life is a tunnel without your light

I want to spend more time with you Recover the nights I lost To overcome the immense fear of dying And be eternal with you

Because I'm worth nothing, because I have nothing, if I don’t have the best; Your love and company in my heart

Music with Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUb88r94Q1A

You have to make fun, fun; while you can opening bottles and cans. To have some fun I don’t look too far I do not care if it's a club on a yacht, or a sidewalk .

Defeats and falls have marked me but every time I get up I’m more spirited. Here I come, I’m bringing fire and I don’t back down. The advice of my old man I have never forgotten.

I roll up my sleeves and enjoy life So they don’t tell me (how it was) or throw me lies. I quickly party with whatever gets you high . I thank God for so cute pleasures not everything is work so that’s why I enjoy (life). Because occasionally you must have some good fun. If the money is mine don’t try to tell me what to do, because being happy is "My greatest vice".

(And you have to make fun, fun; my friend because life, there’s only one  for sure .. iuuu)

Defeats and falls have marked me but every time I get up I’m more spirited. Here I come, I’m bringing fire and I don’t back down. The advice of my old man I have never forgotten.

I roll up my sleeves and enjoy life So they don’t tell me (how it was) or throw me lies. I quickly party with whatever gets you high . I thank God for so cute pleasures not everything is work so that’s why I enjoy (life). Because occasionally you must have some good fun.

I do not know why, but I feel that suddenly one day, love will come into my life, I know. And I will love, as I have many times dreamed.  And that dream will be realized, I know.

It will be tomorrow, or after tomorrow, On Monday or Tuesday, it will be any day. At any time, it will come knock  on the doors of my heart. And I will forget the pain that I suffered, and cried and I lived, and yesterday, in solitude.

I will realize all my dreams, my illusions And forget the pain that I suffered, and cried and I lived, and yesterday, in solitude.

It will be tomorrow, or after tomorrow, On Monday or Tuesday, it will be any day At any time, they come touch me The doors of my heart

I do not know why, but I feel that suddenly one day, love will come into my life, I know. And I will love, as I have many times dreamed. And that dream will be realized, I know. 

It will be tomorrow, or after tomorrow, On Monday or Tuesday, it will be any day, At any time, it will come knock on the doors of my heart. And I will forget the pain that I suffered, and cried and I lived, and yesterday, in solitude.

Me Canse de Rogarle - Vicente Fernandez

Lyrics Source: http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=1296715

Video with Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fmxj9JE3vc

I got tired of begging her, I got tired of telling her That without her I’d die of pain. 

She no longer wanted to hear me.  if her lips parted,  It was to tell me  I do not love you anymore

I felt my that life Was being lost in an abyss deep and black, just like my luck

I wanted to find oblivion Jalisco style. But those mariachis and that tequila,  they made me cry.

I got tired of begging her with tears in my eyes I raised my glass and toasted for her.

I could not ignore her. It was the last toast of a prince  for his queen.

The mariachi went silent and from my weak hand  my glass fell without me realizing

She wanted to stay when she saw my sadness. But it was already written that night I would lose her love.

Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xy8VPsStvs

Video with Lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYpGr6fbUb8

I remember the times when I was a kid  I grew up as a dog, I looked after myself my father was a drunk who abused me my mother out of fear .. Looked on and stayed silent ...

I took on the streets and later its vices I never went to school, I never met a book I slept on the sidewalks very often and some cardboard covered me when I was cold Once I was drugged up under a bridge and something very strange happened suddenly a man in black touched my forehead I am the devil he said .. I scared off death for you ...

(And it is La Trakalosa de Monterrey)

I could not believe what I was hearing I thought maybe I was hallucinating I closed my eyes but I kept seeing him when I went to stand .. He took my arm ...

He said do not be afraid I’m here to help  and I’ll give you a better life Today you'll have what you always dreamed in exchange for your soul ... I will godfather you

If you want to know where the story left off call me on my iphone I’ll tell you the whole story I'm here in Las Vegas with some girls I drive a Ferrari .. and dress to the latest fashion ...

If you want to know where the story left off call me on my iphone I’ll tell you the whole story I'm here in Las Vegas with some girls I drive a Ferrari .. and dress to the latest fashion ...

The people tell me that everything I do, everything I do, everything I do,  is wrong! And I do not know why. My wife says that everything I do, everything I do, that everything I do is wrong!

And I do not know why. I try really hard but ... well I get everything wrong!

And the band tells me everything I do, everything I do, everything I do, Is wrong! And I do not know why?!! My kids tell me that everything I do, everything I do, that everything I do is wrong!

And I do not know why ...

If I say it's white, it results that it’s black.  If I say it's eagle,surely there’s some sun. If I say I'm in heaven, I'm in hell.  I you think you love me, you’re so wrong

The people tell me that everything I do, everything I do, everything I do, is wrong! And I do not know why. My wife says that everything I do, everything I do, that everything I do is wrong!

And I do not know why ...

If I let out a fart, it comes out with a prize. If I want to do number 2, turns out there’s no paper. I will throw out fear, the toilet's busy  It’s better that I grab my birdie and play with it 

And the band tells me everything I do, everything I do, everything I do, Is wrong! And I do not know why?!! My kids tell me that everything I do, everything I do, that everything I do is wrong!

And I do not know why ...

When it's night time I can’t sleep, then the  next day I can’t get up. Whatever probelm happens, they blame it on me Even when I’m cold, the sun cannot warm me.

And the band tells me everything I do, everything I do, everything I do, Is wrong! And I do not know why?!! My kids tell me that everything I do, everything I do, that everything I do is wrong!
