Soundtrack of my life

1)Waving flag(k'naan):

This song was chosen for world cup 2010, which is about soccer, one of my hobbies. I just start to like soccer last year but when I play it, I spotted that I'm pretty good at soccer and start to like it a lot. I don't like to sit around and watch soccer matches, so I practice soccer indoor and broken stuff (I guess it's a price to pay to be better).I cannot play soccer a lot now because school doesn't let me play, my soccer ball get lost, ect. Life is so unfair!





Lyric:


Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

In the streets are, exalifting, as we lose our inhibition

Celebration its around us, every nation, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful game

And together at the end of the day

We All Say

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag

And then it goes back

And then it goes back

And then it goes back

And then it goes

When I get older I will be stronger

They’ll call me freedom

Just like a wavin’ flag

And then it goes back

And then it goes back

Oooooooooooooh woooooooooohh hohoho

Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

In the streets are, exaliftin, as we lose our inhibition

Celebration, its around us, every nation, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful game.

And together at the end of the day

We All Say

And we are all singing it



2)Cleaning out my closet (Eminem)

Sometimes I feel I would explode from anger, I hate everyone, hate everything, I just want to hit something real hard, but I can't find a thing to hit, this is the same emotion that I think Eminem had when he write this song. I often get this emotion when I receive my report card from quarter four last year, I think the reason that my score went down is because the teacher, not because me, so I start to hate some teacher I don't like and hate school too (I'm not going to list the teacher name out so don't ask for it)




Lyric:

Where\'s my snare, I have no snare in my headphones, there ya\' go, yeah, yo\', yo\'...

Have you ever been hated or discriminated against, I have, i\'ve been protested and demonstrated
against, picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times, sick is the mind of the
motherfuckin\' kid that\'s behind, all this commotion, emotions run deep as ocean\'s explodin\',
tempers flaring from parents, just blow \'em off and keep goin\', not takin\' nothin\' from no one,
give \'em hell long as i\'m breathin\', keep kickin\' ass in the mornin\', an\' takin\' names in the
evening, leave \'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth, see they can trigger me but
they\'ll never figure me out, look at me now, I bet ya\' probably sick of me now, ain\'t you mama,
i\'ma make you look so ridiculous now...

[CHORUS]

I\'m sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry, but tonight i\'m
cleanin\' out my closet, {one more time}, I said i\'m sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I
never meant to make you cry, but tonight i\'m cleanin\' out my closet...

I got some skeletons in my closet and I don\'t know if no one knows it, so before they thrown me
inside my coffin and close it, i\'ma expose it, i\'ll take you back to \'73, before I ever had a
multi-platinum sellin\' Cd, I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months, my faggot father
must have had his pantie\'s up in a bunch, cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye,
no I don\'t on second thought, I just fuckin\' wished he would die, I look at Hailie and I
couldn\'t picture leavin\' her side, even if I hated Kim, I grit my teeth and I\'d try, to make it
work with her at least for Hailie\'s sake, I maybe made some mistakes but i\'m only human, but i\'m
man enough to face them today, what I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb, but the smartest
shit I did was take them bullets out of that gun, cause id\'a killed \'em, shit I would have shot
Kim and him both, it\'s my life, i\'d like to welcome y\'all to the Eminem show...

[CHORUS]

Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition, take a second to listen who you
think this record is dissin\', but put yourself in my position, just try to envision witnessin\'
your Mama poppin\' prescription pills in the kitchen, bitchin\' that someone\'s always goin\'
through her purse and shits missin\', going through public housing systems, victim of
Munchausen\'s syndrome, my whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn\'t \'til I grew
up, now I blew up, it makes you sick to ya\' stomach, doesn\'t it, wasn\'t it the reason you made
that Cd for me, ma, so you could try to justify the way you treated me, ma, but guess what, your
gettin\' older now and it\'s cold when your lonely, and Nathan\'s growing up so quick, he\'s gonna
know that your phoney, and Hailie\'s getting so big now, you should see her, she\'s beautiful, but
you\'ll never see her, she won\'t even be at your funeral, see what hurts me the most is you won\'t
admit you was wrong, bitch, do your song, keep tellin\' yourself that you was a mom, but how dare
you try to take what you didn\'t help me to get, you selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin\' burn in
hell for this shit, remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me, well guess
what, I am dead, dead to you as can be...

3)Vietnamese traditional song (English version) (Manh Quynh)

These kind of traditional song, every Vietnamese mom sing this to her baby when they go to sleep, so I've heard these song all the time when I'm still a baby, although I hate those kind of song. Almost every Vietnamese's life stick to this song, at least when they are still a baby. This song sounds the same like every other Vietnamese traditional song but it make me laugh so much and I love it(maybe I should make some songs like that)



Lyric
Honey,
Do you know I love you and miss you so much,
Night after night I cannot sleep so well,
You're leaving me because of money,
I do know I who have nothing,
I just love you by my heart, my soul,
I don’t know what to do : no car, no job, no money, no home !
I will die very soon,
Honey, come back, you can save my life !


4)Lose yourself(Eminem)

This song is said to be a song about sport, but I don't think this is about sport, if it's real then I would say sport is part of my life. Sometimes I take sport very serious. I think this song is about opportunities, everyone have a lot of opportunities but let it slipped, all my life I wish I can catch all the opportunities I have, I feel very mad when I miss an opportunity but that's life, like I said, life is unfair.



Lyric
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Yeah,
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

This soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, homey grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo)

You can do anything you set your mind to, man


5)Vietnamese anthem
I've sing this song for five years in primary school,every student in Vietnam should properly sung it, it's part of our life. This song also remind me of the 7 and 8 grade which we defend for our balls, just like Vietnam defend our country from other enemies, and we've won. I really proud of the day we won.


Lyrics

Vietnamese
Doàn quân Vietnam di
Chung lòng cuu quoc,
Bu'óc chân don vang trên du'óng gap ghenh xa.
Co in máu chien thang mang hon nu'óc
Súng ngoài xa chen khúc quân hanh ca.
Du'õóng vinh quang xây xác quân thù
Thang gian lao, cùng nhau lap chien khu.
Vi nhân dân chien dau không ngung
Tien mau ra sa tru'óng.
Tien lên! Cùng tien lên!
Nuoc non Vietnam ta vung ben.

Doàn quân Vietnam di
Sao vàng phap phoi,
Dát giong nòi que hu'óng qua noi lam than.
Cung chung suc phan dau xây doi moi
Dung deu len gông xích ta dap tan.
Tu bao lâu ta nuot cam hon
Quyet hy sinh, doi ta tu'oi tham hón.
Vi nhân dân chien dau không ngung
Tien mau ra sa tru'óng.
Tien lên! Cùng tien lên!
Nuoc non Vietnam ta vung ben.

English
Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward,
With the one will to save our Fatherland
Our hurried steps are sounding on the long and arduous road
Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of our country
The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song.
The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes.
Overcoming all hardships, together we build our resistance bases.
Ceaselessly for the people's cause we struggle,
Hastening to the battle field!
Forward! All together advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong eternal.

Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward,
The gold star of our flag in the wind
Leading our people, our native land, out of misery and suffering
Let us join our efforts in the fight for the building of a new life.
Let us stand up and break our chains.
For too long have we swallowed our hatred
Let us keep ready for all sacrifices and our life will be radiant.
Ceaselessly for the people's cause we struggle,
Hastening to the battlefield!
Forward! All together advancing!
Our Vietnam is strong eternal.
6)Eye of the tiger (Survivor):

This song is some what about fighting and survive also a little bit of sport ( A teacher of mine told me that, I don't even know if it's true or wrong). Fighting turns out to be on of my hobbies (martial art), I've started martial art when I was 7, at that time I started with Taekwondo and practice it until 5th grade, then, when I was in 6th grade, I stopped practicing martial art (but I still do extra workout at home) and start practice it again with VinhXuanQuyen, practice martial art really help me with my strength, my skills, and make me afraid of no one (there might be some exceptions). I recommend martial art to everyone.



Lyric:

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...


7)Those were the day (Mary Hopkin)
I don't like the word of this song much but I like the melody, and the title make me want to go back in time and hit them back every time they swear, they hit me, lucky for those teacher I didn't have the gut to hit them back at that time. The words don't have to do with my life much but the song does, I can play this song by guitar very well (don't make me play it now, there's no guitar here).


Lyrics

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do?

Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di…

Then, the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say,

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection.
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

Through the door, there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same.

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di… [big finish!]

8)Hello Vietnam (Pham Quynh Anh):

From the year 1998 until now, I'm live in Vietnam, some time I go travel to other countries but that doesn't mean anything, other country culture is great, but I think the greatest is Vietnam. I'm proud of being a Vietnamese, but I ashamed that Vietnam is rich in trash, not money. When I grow up, I want to make some changes to Vietnam and make other country respect of Vietnam (that's from uncle Ho's quote, as Vietnamese students, that quote stick to our brain)



Lyric

Tell me all about this name, that is difficult to say.
It was given me the day I was born.

Want to know about the stories of the empire of old.
My eyes say more of me than what you dare to say.

All I know of you is all the sights of war.
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

Tell me all about my colour, my hair and my little feet
That have carried me every mile of the way.

Want to see your house, your streets. Show me all I do not know.
Wooden sampans, floating markets, light of gold.

All I know of you is the sights of war.
Hello Vietnam lyrics on
http://music.yeucahat.com/song/English/36612-Hello-Vietnam~Pham-Quynh-Anh.html
A film by Coppola, the helicopter's roar.

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

And Buddha’s made of stone watch over me
My dreams they lead me through the fields of rice
In prayer, in the light…I see my kin
I touch my tree, my roots,my begin

One day I'll touch your soil.
One day I'll finally know my soul.
One day I'll come to you.
To say hello... Vietnam.

One day I’ll walk your soil
One day I’ll finally know my soul
One day I’ll come to you
To say hello…Vietnam
To say hello…Vietnam
To say xin chào… Vietnam

9)Because you love me

I really appreciate my mom for taking care me when I was still a baby until now. I don't think that I could do the same as her (lucky I am a boy), I think some other person don't appreciate their mom's hard work, they should be ashamed of that, I'm not going to tell a story that almost make me cry (and Tommy too) but if you don't appreciate your mom then change your mind about that.



For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through through it all



Chorus :

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me



You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you



[Chorus]



You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

[Chorus]

10)Beautiful Sunday

My favorite day of the week is Sunday, because Sunday I don't have to go to school, I can do what ever I want. Sunday morning I learn to draw, after that I usually watch TV or finished the rest of the home work. Until 4 pm I go to play soccer, usually Sunday dinner my dad going to cook, but sometime we go out to eat. I wish there is more Sunday.



Lyric:

Sunday morning, up with the lark
I think I'll take a walk in the park
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day
I've got someonme waiting for me
And when I see her know that she'll say
Hey x3 what a beautiful day

CHORUS
Hi x3, beautiful Sunday
This is my my my beautiful day
When you said said said said that you loved me
Oh my my my its a beautiful day.

Birds are singing, you by my side
Lets take a car and go for a ride
Hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day
We'll drive on and follow the sun
Making Sunday go on and on
Hey hey hey it's a beautiful day

Repeat chorus
