Winter by Tori Amos Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens Wipe my nose, get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice: "You must learn to stand up For yourself, cause I can't always be around" He says:

"When you gonna make up your mind" When you gonna love you as much as I do" When you gonna make up your mind" Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed" I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts Flowers competing for the sun Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was

"Mirror mirror, where's the crystal palace?" But I only can see myself Skating around the truth who I am But I know that the ice is getting thin

"When you gonna make up your mind" When you gonna love you as much as I do" When you gonna make up your mind" Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses are still in bed" I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear

Hair is grey and the fires are burning So many dreams on the shelf You say "I wanted you to be proud of me" I always wanted that myself

"When you gonna make up your mind" When you gonna love you as much as I do" When you gonna make up your mind" Cause things are gonna change so fast All the white horses have gone ahead" I tell you that I'll always want you near You say that things change, my dear

Never change All the white horses, ah Hmm

On & On

Oh my my my I'm feeling high My moneys gone I'm all alone The world is turnin' Oh what a day What a day what a day

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learn, If your knowledge were your wealth then it will be well earn If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

Oh on and on and on and on Whew on and on and on and on I go on and on and on and on Ohh on and on and on and on

I was born under water with three dollars and six dimes Yeah you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math Na qua two...three... Damn, y'all feel that' Oh... Qua two...three... The world keeps turning Oh what a day what a day what a day

The man that knows something knows that he knows nothing at all Does it seem colder in your summertime and hotter in your fall If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

Oh on and on and on and on On and on and on and on I go on and on and on and on On and on and on and on

I am feeling kinda hungry 'cause my high is coming down Don't feed me yours 'cause your food does not endure I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin' Oh what a day, what a day what a day

You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothin' left The mother ship can't save you so your ass is goin' get it If we were made in his image then call us by our names Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same

Oh on and on and on and on On and on and on and on Ooh ooh wee on and on and on and on On and on and on and on

Heaven bend to take my hand And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best But somewhere 'long the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so

We all begin with good intent When love was raw and young We believe that we can change ourselves The past can be undone But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals In the lonely light of morning In the wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything That I've held so dear

I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand I've nowhere left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turn their heads embarrassed Pretend that they don't see That it's one missed step one slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I messed up Better I should know So don't come 'round here and Tell me I told you so I messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That, baby, you're the best

I got my red dress on tonight Dancin' in the dark in the pale moonlight Done my hair up real big, beauty queen style High heels off, I'm feelin' alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere Nothin' scares me anymore One, two, three, four

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness S-s-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh oh oh oh

I'm feelin' electric tonight Cruisin' down the coast goin' 'bout 99 Got my bad baby by my heavenly side I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere Nothin' scares me anymore One, two, three, four

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness S-s-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh oh oh oh

Think I'll miss you forever Like the stars miss the sun in the mornin' sky Later's better than never Even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive, drive, drive

Got that summertime, summertime sadness S-s-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh oh oh oh

Kiss me hard before you go Summertime sadness I just wanted you to know That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness S-s-summertime, summertime sadness Got that summertime, summertime sadness Oh, oh oh oh oh

I've got a right to be wrong My mistakes will make me strong I'm stepping out into the great unknown I'm feeling wings though I've never flown

I've got a mind of my own I'm flesh and blood to the bone I'm not made of stone Got a right to be wrong So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong I've been held down too long I've got to break free So I can finally breathe I've got a right to be wrong

Got to sing my own song I might be singing out of key But it sure feels good to me Got a right to be wrong So just leave me alone

You're entitled to your opinion But it's really my decision I can't turn back I'm on a mission If you care don't you dare blur my vision

Let me be all that I can be Don't smother me with negativity Whatever's out there waiting for me I'm going to faced it willingly

I've got a right to be wrong My mistakes will make me strong I'm stepping out into the great unknown I'm feeling wings though I've never flown

I've got a mind of my own Flesh and blood to the bone See, I'm not made of stone I've got a right to be wrong So just leave me alone

I've got a right to be wrong I've been held down to long I've got to break free So I can finally breathe

I've got a right to be wrong Got to sing my own song I might be singing out of key But it sure feels good to me I've got a right to be wrong So just leave me alone

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth I need them Mechanically make the words come out They fight me, vigorous and angry Watch them pounce Ignite me Licking up the flames they bring about

I sold my soul to a three-piece And he told me I was holy He’s got me down on both knees But it’s the devil that's tryna....

Hold me down, hold me down Sneaking out the back door, make no sound Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for Hold me down, hold me down Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Selfish Taking what I want, and call it mine I’m helpless Clinging to a little bit of spine They rush me Telling me I’m running out of time They shush me (shh) Walking me across a fragile line

I sold my soul to a three-piece And he told me I was holy He’s got me down on both knees But it’s the devil that's tryna....

Hold me down, hold me down Sneaking out the back door, make no sound Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for Hold me down, hold me down Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down now Hold me down now Hold me do-o-o-o-own

I sold my soul to a three-piece And he told me I was holy He’s got me down on both knees But it’s the devil that's tryna.... Hold me down, hold me down Sneaking out the back door, make no sound Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for Hold me down, hold me down Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown Knock me out, knock me out Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen.

When you go through the streets No one recognizes you. No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks At the carpet of red gold That you tread as you pass, The nonexistent carpet.

And when you appear All the rivers sound In my body, bells Shake the sky, And a hymn fills the world.

Only you and I, Only you and I, my love, Listen to me.

- - - - - - - - LA REINA

Yo te he nombrado reina. Hay más altas que tú, más altas. Hay más puras que tú, más puras. Hay más bellas que tú, hay más bellas. Pero tú eres la reina.

Cuando vas por las calles nadie te reconoce. Nadie ve tu corona de cristal, nadie mira la alfombra de oro rojo que pisas donde pasas, la alfombra que no existe.

Y cuando asomas suenan todos los ríos en mi cuerpo, sacuden el cielo las campanas, y un himno llena el mundo.

Sólo tú y yo, sólo tú y yo, amor mío, lo escuchamos.

Pablo Neruda
