Corinne Bailey Rae- Put Your Records On


Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Gotta love that afro hairdo.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer.
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Quiero

QUIERO

Quiero que me oigas sin juzgarme.
Quiero que opines sin aconsejarme.
Quiero que confíes en mí sin exigirme.
Quiero que me ayudes sin intentar decidir por mí.
Quiero que me cuides sin anularme.
Quiero que me mires sin proyectar tus cosas en mí.
Quiero que me abraces sin asfixiarme.
Quiero que me animes sin empujarme.
Quiero que me sostengas sin hacerte cargo de mí.
Quiero que me protejas sin mentiras.
Quiero que te acerques sin invadirme.
Quiero que conozcas las cosas mías que más te disgusten.
Que las aceptes y no pretendas cambiarlas.
Quiero que sepas…
Que hoy puedes contar conmigo…
Sin condiciones.
