I've always been very close to my brothers and we usually end up doing crazy things together. I believe this picture was taken in the summer of my junior year of high school. It was a boring night and for some reason, we decided to paint our faces black and act all ghetto. I know some people might perceive this as being racist, but to be honest, we were just having fun. Anyways, after rapping (or at least attempting to) along with a few songs, the three of us ended up in the pool with all our clothes on, trying to get the black paint off our faces.
30 Day Picture Challenge - Day 8: A song that you know all the words to
I know all the lyrics to so many songs that I would seriously have to use some complicated mathematical formula with algorithms and differentials in order to pick just one. Or, I could go ahead and just pick one arbitrarily, but you all know that's not really my style. So, I decided to change things up a bit and instead posted "The song in a foreign language whose lyrics I most recently learned." And voila, here we have a clear winner! Giorgia - E' L'amore che conta (Love is what counts.) Giorgia is definitely one of my favorite Italian artists and this is her latest single. I've included the lyrics as well as my rough translation of them.
Di errori ne ho fatti (From the mistakes I've made)
Ne porto i lividi (I carry the bruises)
Ma non ci penso più (But I don't think about it anymore)
Ho preso ed ho perso (I had and I've lost)
Ma guardo avanti sai (But I look forward, you know)
Dove cammini tu (To where you walk)
Di me ti diranno che sono una pazza (They'll tell you that I'm crazy)
Ma è il prezzo di essere stata sincera (But it's the price of having been sincere)
E' l’amore che conta (Love is what counts)
Non solo i numeri, e neanche i limiti (Not just the numbers, or the limits)
E' una strada contorta (It's a winding road)
E non è logica, e non è comoda (And it's not logical or comfortable)
Nell’attesa che hai (While you wait)
Nell’istante in cui sai (For the moment in which you know)
Che è l’amore che conta (That it's love what counts)
Non ti perdere, impara anche a dire di no (Don't get lost, also learn to say no)
Di tempo ne ho perso (Of time I've lost)
Certe occasioni sai (There are certain occasions, you know)
Che non ritornano (That don't return)
Mi fa bene lo stesso (The same suits me just fine)
Se la mia dignità (If my dignity)
E' ancora giovane (Is still young)
Di me ti diranno che non sono ambiziosa (They'll tell you that I'm not ambitious)
E' il prezzo di amare senza pretesa (It's the price of loving without pretense)
E' l’amore che conta (Love is what counts)
Non solo i numeri, e neanche i limiti (Not just the numbers, or the limits)
E' una strada contorta (It's a winding road)
E non è logica, e non è comoda (And it's not logical or comfortable)
Nell’attesa che hai (While you wait)
Nell’istante in cui sai (For the moment in which you know)
Che è l’amore che conta (That it's love what counts)
Non ti perdere, impara anche a dire di no (Don't get lost, also learn to say no)
