Inspirational Lyrics for the Fall
Submitted by Julia Lanzona
As winter approaches, you may find the colder nights longer and lonelier. However, something that always makes these solitary nights fulfilling is music. I believe that music has the ability to converse with the soul in universal poetry that bypasses any kind of language barrier. Whether you are listening to a piece accompanied with lyrics or not, listening to the right kind of music when you’re feeling a certain way is sure to lighten up your mood. Today, I am sharing with you a small list of lyrics from artists of diverse backgrounds to hopefully brighten up your day and help you discover new artists!
1.) Natutulog Ba Ang Diyos? By Gary Valenciano (Tagalog/Filipino)
Tanging ikaw ang huhubog
Only you can shape it
Sa iyong bukas
In your tomorrow
Huwag mo sanang akalain
Don’t think so
Natutulog ba ang diyos
Does god sleep?
Ang buhay mo ay mayro’ng halaga sa kanya
Your life has value to him
2.) Aal Izz Well by 3 Idiots (Hindi)
Murgi kya jaane aande ka kya hoga
Aree life milegi ya tawee pe fry hoga
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga?
How can a hen know the future of its egg?
Will it get life or get fried on a pan,
No one knows what our future will be.
Honth ghuma seeti bajaa
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Bhaiyaa aal izz well
So Draw back your lips,
Whistle and Exclaim,
Brother, Aal Izz Well!!
3.) Dances with DJ DOC by DJ DOC (Korean)
사람들 눈 의식하지 말아요
Ignore the judgment from others
즐기면서 살아갈 수 있어요
You can live life and enjoy it too
내 개성에 사는 이 세상이에요
The world lives in my personality
자신을 만들어 봐요
Create your own identity
4.) High Fashion by JJ Lin (Mandarin)
請你
Please
不要到處叩叩
Don’t go around knockin’ everywhere
潮流需要摳摳
Trends need to be raised up
不小心就沒摳摳
If you’re not careful, you won’t make any money
用力到處扣扣
Work hard to save everywhere
花掉所有摳摳
Spend all the money you’ve misered up
錢買不到絕活
Money can’t buy you unrivaled skill
5.) If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross (English)
Don’t lose your way
With each passing day
You’ve come so far
Don’t throw it away
Whether these lyrics made you laugh or tear up, I hope you found one that you related with and wouldn’t mind listening to every now and then!
