Song: Soy Yo (I am)

A throw back 2016 song about being brave to be your unique self. Can't help but dancing and grooving to the recorder beat. Bomba Estéreo is a band that came from Bogotá, Colombia. English and German translations are from the free Deepl translator. Enjoy Soy Yo by Bomba Estéreo :)


Lyrics in English (Deepl translation)

I fell, I stood, I walked, I climbed
I went against the current and I also got lost
I failed, I found myself, I lived and I learned
When you hit hard the beat goes deeper
 
I keep on dancing and writing my lyrics
I keep singing with open doors
Crossing all these lands
 
And you don't have to travel so far to find the answer
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, just say
It's me
It's me
It's me (I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am)
It's me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
 
I keep walking and I keep laughing
I do what I want and I die trying
Nobody cares what I'm doing
The only thing that matters is what's on the inside
I like to be in the sand
Swimming in the sea for no reason, no problem
Sitting and doing nothing
Watching from afar and being relaxed
 
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, you just say
It's me
I am me
It's me (I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am)
I am me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
 
I'm like this, I'm like this, I'm like this (Relax)
And you don't even know me (Well relax)
I'm like this, I'm like this, I'm like this (Relax)
And you don't even know me (Well relax)
You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
Yes, daddy
 
And don't worry if they don't approve of you
When they criticize you, you just say
It's me
It's me
It's me (I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am)
It's me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
 
In bed
Relax
With my charm
In my pajamas, it's me
That's me

Lyrics in Deutsch (Deepl translation)

Ich bin hingefallen, ich bin aufgestanden, ich bin gelaufen, ich bin geklettert
Ich schwamm gegen den Strom und ging auch verloren
Ich scheiterte, ich fand mich selbst, ich lebte und ich lernte
Wenn du hart schlägst, geht der Beat tiefer
 
Ich tanze weiter und schreibe meine Texte
Ich singe weiter mit offenen Türen
Ich gehe durch all diese Länder
 
Und du musst nicht so weit reisen, um die Antwort zu finden
Und mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn sie dich nicht gutheißen
Wenn sie dich kritisieren, sagst du einfach
Ich bin's
Ich bin's
Ich bin's (ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich)
Ich bin es (ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich)
 
Ich gehe weiter und ich lache weiter
Ich tue was ich will und ich sterbe bei dem Versuch
Niemand kümmert es, was ich tue
Das Einzige, was zählt, ist, was in mir vorgeht
Ich mag es, im Sand zu sein
Schwimmen im Meer, ohne Grund, kein Problem
Sitzen und nichts tun
Aus der Ferne zusehen und entspannt sein
 
Und mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn sie dich nicht gutheißen
Wenn sie dich kritisieren, sagst du einfach
Ich bin's
Ich bin ich
Ich bin's (ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich)
Ich bin ich (ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich)
 
Ich bin so, ich bin so, ich bin so (Relax)
Und du kennst mich nicht einmal (Nun, entspann dich)
Ich bin so, ich bin so, ich bin so (Entspann dich)
Und du kennst mich nicht einmal (Nun entspann dich)
Weißt du, was ich meine? Weißt du, was ich meine?
Ja, Daddy.
 
Und mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn sie dich nicht gutheißen.
Wenn sie dich kritisieren, sagst du einfach
Ich bin's
Ich bin's
Ich bin's (Ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin, ich bin)
Ich bin's (ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich, ich)
 
Im Bett
Entspann dich
Mit meinem Charme
In meinem Pyjama, ich bin es
Das bin ich


Lyrics Soy Yo Spanish (original)

Me caí, me paré, caminé, me subí Me fui contra la corriente y también me perdí Fracasé, me encontré, lo viví y aprendí Cuando te pegas fuerte más profundo es el beat 
 
Sigo bailando y escribiendo mis letras Sigo cantando con las puertas abiertas Atravesando todas estas tierras 
 Y no hay que viajar tanto pa' encontrar la respuesta
Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di Soy yo Soy yoSoy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
 
Sigo caminando y sigo riendo Hago lo que quiero y muero en el intento A nadie le importa lo que estoy haciendo Lo único que importa es lo que está por dentro A mí me gusta estar en la arenaBañarme en el mar sin razón, sin problema Estar sentada sin hacer nada Mirando de lejos y estar relajada
 
Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di Soy yo Soy yoSoy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
 
Soy así, soy así, soy así (Relaja)Y tú ni me conoces a mí (Bien relaja)Soy así, soy así, soy así (Relaja)Y tú ni me conoces a mí (Bien relaja)You know what I mean? You know what I mean?

Sí, papá
 
Y no te preocupes si no te aprueban Cuando te critiquen, tú solo di Soy yo Soy yoSoy yo (soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy)Soy yo (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
 
En la camaRelajáCon mi encantoCon pijama, soy yo
Así soy yo

Old year reflections and new year dreams

Image
Being a big fan of self-reflection, I love to think about what is to come in the new year and dream. New Year's resolutions has been seen more now as a shallow promise to make a big change, but I like to think of this more as an opportunity to look back on the previous year and then stop and think about where I want to be, what I would like to do, the possibilities that await. And if you can find a friend or friends who are also into a review, then all the better! Sharing visions and dreams can sometimes really become fuel for a wonderful journey. I've put together 2 small things to get the conversation going. It's not all questions about the meaning of life, but allows for looking into the previous year and then a little thought as what is to come. I recommend this mini reflection workshop below. New Year Reflection Program #1 Find a friend or friends who want to reflect together! Make it a date :) #2 Sit down together and enjoy some snacks and tea/coffee.

Tool: Online map maker

When you think of world maps, you might think of a history teacher, but generally not a music teacher. But it does come in handy! As a music teacher, part of what we can do is introduce musical instruments to students. Recently another music educator made a really cool lesson about castanets and so I asked if I could use her self-made castanets for Kindergarten students. When introducing the instrument to the students, it's good to mention where the instrument originated. And especially if they are younger students, having visuals is important.

Halfway in the year review (Level 10 Life)

Image
 So it's July and halfway through the year. It felt very good to finish June. The end of a studies and work semester, the completion of different group projects, and participating in 4 concerts was all part of June and despite getting sick the last Friday of the month, it all worked out. And funny enough, once I got the okay that things are settling down, the impulse to think of the future kicked in. Yes, of course I am enjoying this freedom of time with relaxation too. And I think when things slow down, one feel good thing is thinking positively about what is in the present and what is to come. So I looked at what I did last year December, the Old Year Reflections again and my last Level 10 Life. It was a good feeling to see that some things have already been completed, and also a reminder of old ideas. And I was motivated to then re-do my Level 10 Life. What is a Level 10 Life? It's a way to be intentional with your life focus(es). It's a concrete method to reflect and c
