A break: "Moon river" by Henry Mancini

Moon river wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style someday.
You, dream maker, you, heartbreaker,
wherever you're going, i'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world,                        5
there's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbows end,
waiting round the band,
my huckleberry friend, moon river and me.

A break: "The other side" by Jason Derulo.

VERSE 1
In the beginning
I never thought it would be you
When we were chillin
Smiling in the photo booth
But we got closer (Yeah)
SOON you were eating off my spoon
YOU'RE coming over
And we would talk all afternoon

PRE
Tonight we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
FIND your hands all over me
And then YOU'LL bite your lip
Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

CHORUS
Tonight, take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the Fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know, we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sho
So tonight kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

VERSE 2
This could be perfect
But we won't know unless we try (Try)
I know you're nervous
So just sit back and let me drive

Tonight we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
FIND your hands all over me
And then YOU'LL bite your lip
Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

CHORUS
Tonight, take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the Fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know, we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sho
So tonight kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

BRIDGE

Kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

TAG
Tonight we'll just get drunk
Disturb the peace
Let your love crash into me

Whisper and say, "We're going all the way"

CHORUS

So tonight kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side

A break: "Have a nice day" by Bon Jovi

Why you want to tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if it’s black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference
Between a boy and a man?                               5
My daddy lived the lie,
It’s just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life,
Just slaving away.

Oh, if there’s one thing I hang onto,                10
It gets me through the night.
I ain't going to do what I don’t want to.
I'm going to live my life.
Shining like a diamond,
Rolling with the dice,                                        15
Standing on the ledge,
Show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day,
Have a nice day.                                                20

Take a look around you, look at what he sees.
We’re living in a broken home
Of hopes and dreams.
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Everybody, pray enough to take a stand.         25
I knocked on every door,
On every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
What’s left to believe?

Oh, if there’s one thing I hang onto,                 30
It gets me through the night.
I ain't going to do what I don’t want to.
I'm going to live my life.
Shining like a diamond,
Rolling with the dice,                                          35
Standing on the ledge,
Show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day,
Have a nice day.                                                 40

When the world keeps trying to drag me down,
I've got to raise my hands,
Going to stand my ground.
Well I say, have a nice day,
Have a nice day,                                                 45
Have a nice day.

Traducción

¿Por qué quieres decirme cómo vivir mi vida?
¿Quién eres para decirme si es negro o blanco?
Mamá, ¿puedes oirme? Intenta entender.
Es la inocencia la diferencia
Entre un niño y un hombre?                            5
Mi papi vivió la mentira,
Es el precio que pagó.
Sacrificó su vida,
Solamente trabajando como un burro.

Oh, si hay algo con que me quedo,                10
Me atrapa en la noche.
No voy a hacer lo que no quiero.
Voy a vivir mi vida.
Brillando como un diamante,
Rodando con los dados,                                  15
Parándose en la cornisa,
Mostrarle al viento cómo volar.
Cuando el mundo se viene a mi cara
Digo, que tengas un buen día,
Que tengas un buen día.                                 20

Echa una mirada alrededor tuyo, mira lo que él ve.
Estamos viviendo en un destrozado hogar
De esperanzas y sueños.
Déjame ser el primero en echar una mano.
Todos, rueguen lo suficiente para resistir.    25
Golpée en cada puerta,
En cada calle sin salida,
Buscando el perdón,
¿Qué queda por creer?

Oh, si hay algo con que me quedo,                30
Me atrapa en la noche.
No voy a hacer lo que no quiero.
Voy a vivir mi vida.
Brillando como un diamante,
Rodando con el dado,                                     35
Parándose en la cornisa,
Mostrarle al viento cómo volar.
Cuando el mundo se viene a mi cara
Digo, que tengas un buen día,
Que tengas un buen día.                                40

Cuando el mundo sigue intentando agobiarme,
Tengo que levantar mis manos,
Voy a persistir.
Entonces digo, que tengas un lindo día,
Que tengas un buen día,                                45
Que tengas un buen día.
