Sueña

DREAM--That's a hopeful word, wouldn't you say?

As I layed asleep on the couch on the 4th floor of the JFSB (one of my favorite buildings to go to instead of the library)...I was awakened by a song I had never heard before. Yes, I was listening to my own ishuffle...but, i had set it on random. Good choice.

This was the last song I heard on my ishuffle before it died, but, it was a pleasant discovery as i contemplated motionless before attending Art History today.

I love music that makes me reflect on the kind of life I am living. Do I have dreams for myself?...Something to fight for?

What are your dreams? Do you go after what the voice inside tells you?

(For you english speakers only...here is the translation as best as i could find it:)

Sueña: DREAM

 This song is dedicated
esa gente que sueña pero trabaja todos los dias to the people who dream but work every day
para hacer ese sueño realidad. to make that dream a reality.
Un dia mas en la batalla A day in the battle
Tratando de escalar otra muralla Trying to climb another wall
Rodeado de sabidos y canallas Surrounded by known and scoundrels
Pero sigo luchando But I am still struggling

Estoy seguro que yo valgo I'm sure I'm worth itPero el sabor amargo del rechazo traigo But the bitter taste of rejection comes
No hay nadie quien me baje de las nubes There is no one can be bring me under the clouds 
En ves de criticarme porque mejor no subes Instead of criticizing why don't you rise up?
El mundo es diferente de este punto de vista The world is different from this point of view
El mundo esta a tu alcance porque no lo conquistas? The world is at your fingertips why not  conquer it?
Quiero que un dia digas yo lo conocia I want to say that one day I knew
Yo sabia que ese nene iba a pegar un dia I knew I was going to hit my dream one day
Lleno de fantasias, lleno de ganas, lleno de vida Full of fantasy, full of desire, full of life
El triunfo era inevitable, que dios te bendiga The victory was inevitable, que dios te bendiga
Y ahora que estas arriba no te olvides de lo tuyo And now that you're up do not forget about yours
Enseñale como hay que tomar puerta con los puños  teach them to take on life
Sigue soñando cosechando tu destino Keep dreaming to reap your destiny
y no te desvies de tu camino. and do not deviate from your path. OK? OK?

(this is the chorus)
Cuando digan que no vales, When they say you're not worth it,
Sigue nomas More nomas
No cambies tu rumbo dale Do not change your way dale
No mires atras Do not look back
Que cuidandote yo estaré I will be taking care that
Sueña Dream
Si parece imposible If it seems impossible
Ten la seguridad Be assured
Conmigo todo es posible With me everything is possible
Yo soy la verdad I am the truth
Juntos somos invencibles Together we're invincible
Sueña Dream

La palabra dice que con fe The word says that faith
Puedes mover montañas yo soy testigo y se You can move mountains and I am a witness
Que si yo puedo tu puedes juntos podemos ser What if I can you can together we can be
Ejemplo para que ellos nunca dejen de creer Example for they never stop believing
No te des por vencido, quien dijo que era facil? Do not give up, who said it was easy?
Yo también mande al carajo a todos, bueno casi I also send everyone to hell, well almost
Es que da coraje cuando uno busca el apoyo It gives courage when one is seeking the support
Y te das cuenta que estas solo en este rollo And you realize that these only in this roll
No tires la toalla por si acaso fallas Do not throw the towel in case failures
Termina tu hazaña y veras como se callan Finish your feat and really as silent
Toda es gente que lo hizo dificil All people who did it is difficult
Como aparece cuando ya no hay crisis As it appears when there is no crisis
A esa misma gente le dedico esta canción In those same people I dedicate this song
Si no fuera por ustedes no habria motivación If not for you there would be no motivation
Sigan hablando yo seguiré soñando Keep talking I'll keep dreaming
Inspirandote hasta ver un cambio. Being inspired to see change.

(Chorus)

Yo se que no tienes los recursos I know you do not have the resources
Que terminaste solo ciertos cursos That ended only certain courses
Y por eso no eres culto And so you're not worship
Pero dios es justo But God is fair
Ya a de tener otros planes Already have other plans
Para que su caballo descartado gane For your horse wins discarded
No pierdas la fe Keep the faith
Hay que ser positivo Be positive
Lazaro levantate que Dios te quiere vivo Lazarus Arise God wants you to live
Espero que tu objetivo no sea solo el dinero I hope your goal is not only money
Espero que tus motivos sean buenos y sinceros I hope that your motives are good and honest
Espero mucho de ti porque un hermano te considero I expect a lot from you because I consider you a brother
Tenemos el mismo padre y por el es que te quiero We have the same father and the is that I love
Por el es que este mundo me parece bello For the world is that I feel beautiful
Por el es que yo sueño By that I dream
Por el es que yo sueño By that I dream

Cuando digan que no vales, When they say you're not worth it,
Sigue nomas More nomas
No cambies tu rumbo dale Do not change your way dale
No mires atras Do not look back
Que cuidandote yo estaré I will be taking care that
Sueña Dream
Si parece imposible If it seems impossible
Ten la seguridad Be assured
Conmigo todo es posible With me everything is possible
No se la verdad No truth
Juntos somos invencibles Together we're invincible
Sueña (dos veces) Dream (twice)
Un hombre justo cae siete veces y vuelve a levantarse A just man falls seven times and rises again
Que clase de hombre eres tu? What kind of man are you?
Levantate Arise Sueña Dream
