Nelly Furtado- Te Busque Lyrics

A couple of years ago I did the Anggun Lyrics Project (where I wrote out the lyrics for songs from the English version of her album Elevation. I started a similar one with the French songs but didn't get very far! lol. However since I'm better with Spanish than French I decided to have a go at translating some Spanish lrics.

I've started out small with Canadian singer Nelly Furtado's Te Busque featuring Colombian singer Juanes. It appeared on Nelly's album Loose (2006) and was released as a single in 2007 although not in the UK, I don't think. Only the chorus is in Spanish. I found out that there is a full Spanish version though which I'm planning to listen to soon.


I wrote out the lyrics and also used Letssingit.com and Google Translate. There are also lyrics in the video below (click on it to view it on YouTube). A couple of lines in the chorus aren't the best translation, so if you're a native or fluent Spanish speaker and have a better translation please let me know. :)





Te Busqué (I Searched For You)


Verse 1

I've been high, I've been low
I've been fast, I've been slow
I've had nowhere to go
Missed the bus, missed the show
I've been down on my luck
I've felt like giving up
My life locked in a trunk
When it hurt way too much
Needed a reason to live
Some love inside me to give
I couldn't rest, I had to keep on searching




Chorus

Te busqué
I searched for you
Debajo de las piedras y no te encontré
Below the rocks and I didn't find you
En la mañana fría y en la noche
In the cold morning and night
Te busqué, hasta enloquecer
I searched for you until I went mad
Pero tú llegaste a mi vida como una luz
But you came into my life like a light
Sanando las heridas de mi corazón
Healing the wounds of my heart
Y haciéndome sentir vivo otra vez
And making me feel alive again


Verse 2

I've been too sad to speak
And too tired to eat
Been too lonely to sing
Devil cut off my wings
I've been hurt by my past
But I feel the future
In my dreams and at last
I wake-up, I'm not sure
I wanted to find a light
Something just didn't feel right
Needed an answer to end all my searching


Chorus


 Spoken part

I look in the mirror
The picture's getting clearer
I wanna be myself
But does the world really need her?
I ache for the earth
I stopped going to church
See God in the trees
Makes me fall on my knees
My depression keeps building
Like a cup overfilling
My heart's so rigid
I keep it in the frigid
It hurts so bad that I can't dry my eyes
Cos they keep on refilling with the tears that I cry


Chorus x3

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D...

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...
