"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Soy un hombre muy honrado
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan, ni el dinero, ni el amor
Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna, ellas me dicen donde voy
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
Mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
El mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan, ni el dinero, ni el amor
Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna, ellas me dicen donde voy
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
Mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Me gusta tocar guitarra
Me gusta cantar el son
El mariachi me acompaña cuando canto mi canción
Me gusta tomar mis copas
Aguardiente es lo mejor
También el tequila blanco con su sal le da sabor
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay mi morena de mi corazón

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
translated by yours truly. If your asking yourself why the hell does antonio banderas have a song attributed to his name? well the answer is that Mr. Banderas wrote this song for the Robert Rodriguez movie "Desperado" maybe you've heard of it? anyway Antonio played a carachter that was a mariachi (a traveling mexican musician) and with the help of Los Lobos, this suprisingly very good song was produced. I suggest you donwload it, even without a knowledge of spanish, the song is gr8 to listien to. I'm not sure if its on the soundtrack so the best thing to do would be to download it. And see the movie while ur at it its great as well. its part of a three part series along with "El Mariachi" Robert Rodriguez's first movie, being the first part, and the upcoming movie, "Once upon a time in Mexico" being the third part. Starring Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp, Selma Hayek, Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin, and so on.
Yes Cancion Del Mariachi is on the Desperado soundtrack whish yall should gpo pick up soon. Great tracks by Los Lobos. Santana, Dire Straits and Tito and Trantula
OMG this song was awesome even before I knew what he was singing and now it's even better! Thanks for translation!!
"A mujeres no me faltan" I thought that meant "I lack no woman"? So it would be, "I lack no woman, money or love"?
Just doesn't make sense if he says that he doesn't need any love when the rest of the song is pretty much a love song to Morena? Or is the "Morena", i.e. the brunette, the horse? And he sings that he doesn't need love, money or love but just a horse and the plains so-to-speak?
I am honored man and i like the best of life i don't lack in women money or love
Mounted on my horse i ride through the mountain side the stars and the moon they will be my guide
Oh,oh,oh oh oh my love oh my brunette beautiful love
i love playing my guitar i love singing "The Son" my band is always with me every time this song is sung
I like to take my drinks strong and brandy is the best as well as white tequilla with your salt takes off the edge
