LADY GAGA - BORN THIS WAY.




It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag – just be a queen
Don't be a drag – just be a queen
Don't be a drag – just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence
And love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)
I love my life I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're lebanese, you're orient

Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied, or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby you were born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way
Ooo there ain't no other way
Baby I was born this way
Baby I was born this way
Ooo there ain’t no other way
Baby I was born this way
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way

I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I was born this way hey!
I'm on the right track baby
I was born this way hey!

CHER - YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME ("BURLESQUE").



Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But just there's something so strong
Somewhere inside me.
And I am down,
but I'll get up again. 
Don't count me out just yet

Me siento rota por dentro
apenas sin fuerzas para tenerme en pie
Pero todavía queda algo de fuerza
en algún rincón dentro de mi.
Y aunque me encuentre hundida,
volveré a levantar cabeza.
No cuentes con que estoy fuera de juego.

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed
way past the point of breaking,
But I can take it.
I'll be back - back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me (x 2)
Me has humillado hasta ponerme de rodillas
Y me has empujado hasta el abismo
Pero puedo con eso y con más
Renaceré de mis cenizas,
Volveré a ponerme en pie
Todavía tengo mucha guerra que dar
Todavía no has visto de lo que soy capaz (x 2)


They can say that
I won't stay around
But I’m gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me.
You don't know me,
you don't know who I am.Don't count me out so fast

H
abrá quién diga
que voy a salir corriendo
Pero volveré a pisar fuerte
y no podrás detenerme
Tú no me conoces, ni sabes de lo que soy capaz
No cuentes con que estoy fuera de juego.

I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed
way past the point of breaking,
But I can take it.
I'll be back - back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

Me has humillado hasta ponerme de rodillas
Y me has empujado hasta el abismo
Pero puedo con eso y con más
Renaceré de mis cenizas
Volveré a tenerme en pie
Todavía tengo mucha guerra que dar
Todavía no has visto de lo que soy capaz 

 
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down now
But I'll be standing tall again.
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

No tengo intención de ir apagándome
Ni se te ocurra que éste es mi final
Ahora puede que esté hundida
Pero volveré a ponerme en pienuevamente
La cosa pinta difícil pero
la vida me enseñó a saber aguantar
Y voy a enseñarte de qué pasta estoy hecha

I've been brought down to my knees
I've been pushed
right past the point of breaking,
But I can take it.
I'll be back - back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven't seen the last of me

Me has humillado hasta ponerme de rodillas
Y me has empujado hasta el abismo
Pero puedo con eso y con más
Renaceré de mis cenizas
Volveré a tenerme en pie
Mi final todavía está por venir
Conmigo no se acaba tan fácilmente
Todavía no has visto de lo que soy capaz

No, no, I'm not going nowhere
I'm staying right here
Oh no, you won't see me begging
I'm not taking my bow
Can't stop me - it's not the end
You haven't seen the last of me
Oh no, You haven't seen the last of me (x 3)

No, no, no tengo intención de marcharme
Voy a permanecer justo aquí mismo
Oh, no, no voy a mendigarte nada
No pienso volver a agachar la cabeza ante ti
No puedes detenerme – no has acabado conmigo.
Todavía no has visto de lo que soy capaz (x 3).

PARA PILAR... UN TEMA MARAVILLOSO (GRACIAS POR TU AYUDA DESINTERESADA).

ENYA - CARIBBEAN BLUE.




So the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue.


 If every man says all he can
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above
is Caribbean blue.


 if all you told was turned to gold,
if all you dreamed was new,
imagine sky high above
in Caribbean blue ...

GREAT BRITAIN: BEAUTY OF NATURE & CRADLE OF ACTING.


Gran Bretaña es una nación que, aunque esté perdiendo parte de su renombre y en algún que otro momento  se note que le resulta imposible escapar a la decadencia de occidente, sigue siendo un lugar que goza de enclaves maravillosos.  Lugares inmersos en la bruma, castillos medievales de belleza sin parangón, ciudades cosmopolitas de indudable atractivo para el visitante...  Es un país al que merece la pena ir con frecuencia para poder perderse en esos lugares, a veces un tanto apartados de las rutas turísticas, pero de increible belleza.

He querido reunir en esta presentación mis dos pasiones: la cuna de la lengua de Shakespeare y la mejor cantera de actores y actrices que en el mundo han sido.  Siempre me he considerado un gran amante del séptimo arte, y no cabe duda de que Gran Bretaña ha sido el trampolín para que un sinfín de actores y actrices maravillosos hayan podido llenar con su presencia las pantallas de todo el mundo: Desde Elizabeth Taylor a Richard Burton, pasando por artistas inolvidables de la talla de Peter O'Toole, Julie Andrews, Jude Law y tantos otros.  Sin embargo, resulta triste admitir que tales figuras resultan del todo desconocidas para nuestros alumnos y alumnas, tan dados a ver por televisión programas de contenido amarillista de dudoso gusto y tan aficionados a asistir a las salas de cine para ver cintas llenas de efectos especiales pero vacías de contenido y lo que es peor, carentes de valores que que no hacen sino envilecer al ser humano

  
Mi presentación no es más que un modesto escaparate donde mi alumnado podrá contemplar entre perplejo y alucinado que antes que Orlando Bloom y Keira Knightley, protagonistas de la serie PIRATAS DEL MAR CARIBE, hubo una lista inmensa de actores y actrices que conseguían con su mirada traspasar la gran pantalla y llegarnos a algunos al corazón. Vaya por delante este modesto homenaje que me he permitido realizar.  Jamás debemos olvidar que el séptimo arte, el cine con mayúsculas, es cultura (y de la buena).

ROBERT MILES - ONE AND ONE.




The sky isn't always blue
The sun doesn't always shine
It's alright to fall apart sometimes
I am not always you
And you are not always mine
It's alright to fall apart sometimes
After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry - when we laugh
I am half - you are half
A heart isn't always true
And I am not always fine
We all have an angry heart sometimes
After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry - when we laugh
I am half - you are half
Look how far we have come
One and one still is ...
One moon - one star
I love the one we are
One thread - one line
One standing still in time
One moon - one star
I love the one we are
One thread - one line
One standing still in time
After all's said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry - when we laugh
I am half - you are half
Look how far we have come
One and one still is one
