English class homework - Song meaning

Song: Affirmation By Savage Garden


Music is one of the more important things I have in my life. It is so, that when I heard someone saying anything, I instantly remember any song that contains what the people are saying and I ended up with a song playing in my head.

I am used to associating songs to every event in my life either i am are happy, sad, romantic, joyful, angry or any kind of feeling you can think of.

I am used to hearing music in English and that’s one of the biggest tools that I have for improving my English skills and increase the amount of vocabulary, and there lies the biggest difficulty in this homework.

In my music player I have around 3000 songs, all of them in English, each one of them with an specific meaning in my life, so for me it is really hard to choose.

 

I am believer that music is a universal language, and I believe that in most of the cases musicians can do for us what we are not able to do: express our thoughts, our feelings, our ideas in such way that just one song it’s enough to say all we want to express.

 

Lots of artists have found the way to express their ideas and to create some type of conscience about our reality and what is happening around the world, caused by us.Sometimes repeating a song is a good way to print in our heads a really good idea.

Michael Jackson was a good example of that. Songs like Man in the mirror, The earth, Cry, They don’t care about us, have made a mark in our society because of its meaning and even are recognized as anthems.

 

I choose Affirmation, because it is like a creed. We are now surrounded by a different kind of reality and facts that lots of people know and don’t want to accept them even though are true.

In most of the cases those who say the truth wide open are shutted up, those who dear without fear against politics are banned. And sometimes, just sometimes, no matter what kind of replications would appear against these artists, the message keeps playing, and people won’t forget that.

 

Affirmation is loaded with lots of today’s facts and reality, that everybody knows but no one says anything about it nor accept it. These messages are just the truth that no one says

 

 

Lyrics

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument

I believe we place our happiness in other people’s hands

I believe that junk food tastes so good because it’s bad for you

I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do

I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem

I believe I’m loved when I’m completely by myself alone

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

 

I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality

I believe that trust is more important than monogamy

I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul

I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

 

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair

I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

 

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness

I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed

I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists

I believe in love surviving death into eternity

 

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned

I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side

I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

Getsemaní - Camilo Sesto

Yo quiero decir 
si puedo pedir 
que apartes de mí éste cáliz, 
ya no deseo su amargura, 
ahora quema y yo he cambiado 
y no sé por qué he empezado. 
Yo tenía fe 
cuando comencé 
ahora estoy triste y cansado 
mi camino de tres años 
me parece que son treinta 
¿y qué más puede un hombre hacer? 

Si he de morir 
que se cumpla todo lo que tú quieres de mí, 
deja que me odien, que me claven en su cruz. 

Yo quiero ver, yo quiero ver, Mi Dios. 
Yo quiero ver, yo quiero ver, Mi Dios. 
Quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor. 
Quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor. 

Si he de morir 
dime si es por qué he de ser mejor de lo que fui, 
dime si mi vida con la muerte he de cumplir. 

Yo quiero ver, yo quiero ver, Mi Dios. 
Yo quiero ver, yo quiero ver, Mi Dios. 
Quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor. 
Quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor. 

Con morir, qué voy a conseguir 
al morir que voy a conseguir, 
quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor 
quiero saber, quiero saber, Señor. 

Ah!!! 
¿Por qué he de morir? 
¿Por qué? 

Dime por qué quieres que me claven en su cruz, 
muéstrame el motivo, dame un poco de tu luz, 
di que no es inútil tu deseo y moriré, 
me enseñaste el cómo, el cuándo, pero no el por qué. 

Ah!!! 
Muy bien, yo moriré, 
pero, pero por favor, 
cuando muera, cuando muera, mírame, 
por favor, mira mi muerte. 

Yo tenía fe 
cuando comencé 
ahora estoy triste y cansado 
mis tres años ya son miles 
¿por qué entonces tengo miedo 
de que ya todo termine? 

Dios, yo no empecé 
fue tu voluntad 
dame el cáliz de amargura 
clava, azota, rompe, mata 
pero pronto, hazlo pronto, o yo 
me voy a arrepentir.

Rolling in the deep?

In Adele’s words:

adaptation of a kind of slang, slur phrase in the UK called ‘roll deep,’ which means to have someone, always have someone that has your back, and you’re never on your own, if you’re ever in trouble you’ve always got someone who’s going to come and help you fight it or whatever like that. And that’s how I felt in the relationship that the record’s about, especially ‘Rolling in the Deep.’ That’s how I felt, you know, I thought that’s what I was always going to have, and um, it ended up not being the case.
