A lil bit of Ireland, a lil bit of Costa Rica: A MUCH NEEDED TRANSLATION

Every morning I wake up and blast the ipod dock....blarring musci throughout our house....MUSIC is HUGE in our home...it is the very essence of our home....it lives in us all...Obviously Johnny bleeds music plays it...breathes it...BLEEDS it!!!! Bella dances 24-7 to all kins of music!!!! Mateo would rather listen to music than play with any toy offered to him!!!!! I dont sing...I SCREAM lyrics so loud that i am surprised the police hasnt shown up promptly at 7am!!!! And my Jamas probably couldn't lift one of his weights without his "secret" colletion of songs on his workout ipod (I bet there is some Britney or Usher on that sucker!) Anywho...the point is music is obviously huge....and this morning as evey morning I was blarring music and the song NO CREO EN EL JAMAS came on....and like EVERY single time it scattered goosebumps all over my body...and I realized I NEVER shared them with my blogging buddies!!!! this is the song whose title I tatooed on my arm....I want to share it in both spanish and english...beautiful both ways but ofcourse the spanish holds my heart because Juanes and his voice drive me insane!!!!!! So with out any further delay...I give you NO CREO IN EL JAMAS

*PLEASE.....take a moment to read and absorb every single word.....hopefully it will move you to tattoo it on yourself as well.....OR NOT?

I don't believe in 'never'

When life hits me and gets me down
is when I feel the most the need to rise up
that facing the fear is a way to defeat it
I won't give up, I won't give my life to fear
fear is a murderer who kills the feelings
everytime I am alone is because God is here, inside

And I need silence to be able to find
my own voice and my truth
And at the and of darkness
I don't feel alone, I know you are with me

Today I'll rise and I won't resign my heart
to do what I wanted but I wasn't able to
I won't accept today, I will try to be better
life has a solution, there's nothing impossible
I don't believe in "never"...no!

If giving up is a way of dying
then I never want to please death
I think about my family, my heart beats stronger
One can't live thinking about the day he'll die
and they say that dreaming is like dreaming while being alive
And I believe in the present, and that is getting me away from death

And I need silence to be able to find
my own voice and my truth
And at the and of darkness
I don't feel alone, I know you are with me

NO Creo en el Jamas

Cuando la vida me da golpes y me manda para el suelo
es cuando yo mas siento que tengo que levantarme
que dar la cara al miedo, es una forma de vencerlo
no voy a darme por vencido, no voy a darle mi vida el miedo
el miedo es un asesino que mata los sentimientos
siempre que estoy solo, es porque dios esta aqui adentro

Y necesito silecio para poder encontrar
mi propia vos y mi verdad....
Y al final de la oscuridad
no me siento solo, se que estas conmigo

Hoy voy a levantarme y no voy a resignar mi corazon
hacer lo que quice y no pude
No lo voy a aceptar hoy, voy a buscar estar mejor
la vida tiene solucion, aqui no hay nada imposible
no creo en el jamas.... no! (X2)

Si darse por vencido es una forma de morir,
entonces yo jamas quiero darle el gusto a la muerte
Pienso en mi familia, el corazon late mas fuerte
Que no se puede vivir pensando en cuando se va a morir
y dicen que sonar es tanto como sonar estando vivo
Yo creo en el presente y eso me aleja de la muerte

Y necesito silecio para poder encontrar
mi propia vos y mi verdad....
Y al final de la oscuridad
no me siento solo, se que estas conmigo

Which leads me to one final thought...I havent tattooed my body in over 1 year....NOT OK....these images are inspiring me to run out and do so!!!!
