Lyrics
Cambios (Español)
Verso 1
Dicen que Las cosas nunca cambian.
Lo mas que se cambian, lo mas que se quedan lo mismo.
Dicen que no hay nada nuevo bajo el sol.
Verso 2
Para mi, cada día trae algo nuevo.
Cada día es mejor, eso es la verdad.
Necesito enfocarme en ti,
Es lo que hago yo.
Chorus:
Change is paradoxical, magical and mystical, it's so true.
Those who have forgot to change, never truly stayed the same,
that's so strange.
¿Puedes echarle la culpa a cambios?
¿Puedes evitar no cambiar?
¿Si eres flexible, eso es motive para vivir tu vida?
Instrumento - Featuring Tom Stryker on harmonica (Dan McConnell on keyboard, Gary A. Edwards on bass and rhythm guitar.)
Coro (Español)
Cambiar es una paradoja, mágico y místico, es verdad.
Ellos que no querrían cambiar, de veras no se quedan como eran, es extraño.
Verse 3:
Can you blame the change?
Can you afford not to rearrange?
Flexibility can motivate you to live your life.
Verse 2:
To me, each day brings something new.
Every day gets better, too, it's true.
I need to focus on you.
That's what I'll do.
Instrumental verse, adlib and fade out.
Changes (English)
Verse 1:
They say things never change.
The more they change the more they stay the same.
They say there's nothing new under the sun.
For some that's true.
Verse 2:
To me, each day brings something new.
Every day gets better, too, it's true.
As long as I keep my eyes focused on you.
That's what I do.
Chorus:
Change is paradoxical, magical and mystical, it's true.
Those who have forgot to change, never truly stayed the same,
that's so strange.
Verse 3:
Can you blame the change?
Can you afford not to rearrange?
Flexibility can motivate you to live your life.
Instrumental verse, adlib and fade out.
