Para bailar la Bamba
Para bailar la Bamba
Se necesita
Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Y otra cosita

Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba iré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Por ti seré por ti seré por ti seré
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba

Para subir al cielo
Para subir al cielo
Se necesita
Una escalera grande
Una escalera grande
Y otra chiquita

Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba iré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Por ti seré por ti seré por ti seré
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba

Cada vez que te digo
Cada vez que te digo
Que eres hermosa
Se te pone la cara
Se te pone la cara
Como de rosa

Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba iré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Por ti seré por ti seré por ti seré
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba

El cangrejo camina
El cangrejo camina
Siempre p'átrás
Por tu amor de cabeza
Por tu amor de cabeza
Yo suelo andar

Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba iré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Por ti seré por ti seré por ti seré
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba

Ai lilongo lilongo lilongo
El sombrero me lo quieto
Me lo pongo
Ai lilongo lilongo lilongo
El sombrero me lo quieto
Me lo pongo
Para ballar la Bamba
Para ballar la Bamba
Se necesita,
Una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Y otra cosita

Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba
Y arriba iré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Por ti seré por ti seré por ti seré
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba
Bamba la bamba la bamba

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Blue
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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
