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.
Hoy es un día especial
mi comida preferida
hoy es un día especial
hay duraznos en almibar
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
Hoy es un día especial
hay flores en tu puerta nena
hoy es un día especial
hay alegría en tu cara nena
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
No te alcanza con mi pene
quieres a otros hombres también, también
no te alcanza con mi pene
quieres a otros hombres también, también
Hoy es un día especial
estás sóla en tu cama nena
Ella está borracha en el baño
ella quiere morirse
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno
mi comida preferida
hoy es un día especial
hay duraznos en almibar
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
Hoy es un día especial
hay flores en tu puerta nena
hoy es un día especial
hay alegría en tu cara nena
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
No te alcanza con mi pene
quieres a otros hombres también, también
no te alcanza con mi pene
quieres a otros hombres también, también
Hoy es un día especial
estás sóla en tu cama nena
Ella está borracha en el baño
ella quiere morirse
Aha ah aha ah a ha aa...
Tus ojos son estrellas
brillan mejor en invierno

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
