Era una tarde de verano que anochecía en la ciudad
Entre el flamenco, el vino tinto y una canción de Serrat

Me hechizó aquella mirada llena de alma y picardía
La alegría de su cuerpo despertaba un huracán

Con una flecha aquí en mi pecho
Quedó grabado su misterio
El conjuro de sus besos encendió la tentación

Dime gitana adonde fuiste
Que me he perdido en éste sueño
Y hasta el día en que te encuentre me resisto a despertar

Por ti, por el deseo abandonado en ésta piel
Juro que algún día yo te encontraré

Cómo olvidar tus ojos verdes esmeralda
Que me robaron hasta el alma
Que me han dejado el corazón en soledad
Cómo olvidar tu canto de sirena
Que ahora corre por mis venas y me puede envenenar
Cómo olvidar

Con una flecha aquí en mi pecho
Quedó grabado su misterio
El conjuro de sus besos encendió la tentación

Dime gitana adonde fuiste
Que me he perdido en éste sueño
Y hasta el día en que te encuentre me resisto a despertar

Por ti, por el deseo abandonado en ésta piel
Juro que algún día yo te encontraré

Cómo olvidar tus ojos verdes esmeralda
Que me robaron hasta el alma
Que me han dejado el corazón en soledad
Cómo olvidar tu canto de sirena
Que ahora corre por mis venas y me puede envenenar
Cómo olvidar

Que me han dejado el corazón en soledad
Cómo olvidar tu canto de sirena
Que ahora corre por mis venas y me puede envenenar

Por ti, por el deseo abandonado en ésta piel
Juro que algún día yo te encontraré

(Cómo olvidarte)
Cómo arrancarme de tus labios
Con todos tus besos de amor
(Cómo olvidarte)
Esa mirada triste que embrujó mi corazón
(Cómo olvidarte)

Sin tí queriendo estoy perdiendo la razón
(Cómo olvidarte)
Ay mami mami mira que te quiero porque tu me haces feliz
(Cómo olvidarte)
Mira, mira, mira, mira, mira como suena, suena, suena
Mi corazonzito
(Cómo olvidarte)
Pero mira como mueves tus caderas con tu baile
Que me estoy muriendo
(Cómo olvidarte)

Cómo olvidar tus ojos verdes esmeralda
Que me robaron hasta el alma
Que me han dejado el corazón en soledad
Cómo olvidar tu canto de sirena
Que ahora corre por mis venas y me puede envenenar
Cómo olvidar

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
