Lyrics

Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday.

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't see what I see
But every time she ask me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.
Yeah

Letra:

Oh, sus ojos, sus ojos,
hace parecer que las estrellas no brillan.
Su pelo, su pelo,
cae perfecto sin que ella lo pretenda.
Ella es tan hermosa,
y se lo digo todos los días.

Sí, lo sé, lo sé,
cuando la halago ella no me cree.
Y es tan, es tan
triste pensar que ella no ve lo que yo veo.
Pero cada vez que me pregunta,
¿qué tal estoy?, yo le digo:

Cuando veo tu cara,
no hay una sola cosa que quisiera cambiar.
Porque eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Y cuando sonríes,
el mundo entero se detiene a mirarte por un momento.
Porque chica, eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Sus labios, sus labios,
podría besarlos el día entero si ella me deja.
Su risa, su risa,
ella la odia pero yo creo que es tan sexy.
Ella es tan hermosa,
y se lo digo todos los días

Oh sabes, sabes, sabes,
que nunca te pediria que cambiaras.
Si la perfección es lo que buscas
entonces simplemente no cambies
Así que ni te molestes en preguntar cómo te ves
Sabes lo que voy a decir

Cuando veo tu cara,
no hay una sola cosa que quisiera cambiar.
Porque eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Y cuando sonríes,
el mundo entero se detiene a mirarte por un momento
Porque chica, eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Así como eres.
Así como eres.
Cariño eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Cuando veo tu cara,
no hay una sola cosa que quisiera cambiar.
Porque eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

Y cuando sonríes,
el mundo entero se detiene a mirarte por un momento.
Porque chica, eres asombrosa,
así como eres.

HALLOWEEN

Every year on October 31st children (and some adults) dress up in costumes to celebrate Halloween. Houses are decorated with Jack-o-Lanterns, artificial spiders and cobwebs, pretend witches and ghosts and other frightening objects that symbolize this special day. On the evening of Halloween, in North America and many other countries around the world, groups of children can be seen walking the streets wearing costumes and visiting their neighbors´ houses to receive candy.

Typical festive Halloween activities include Trick-or-Treating (going house to house to receive sweets or food), attending costume parties, decorating, carvingpumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, lighting bonfires,apple bobbing, visitinghaunted houses, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. But where does this holiday come from?

Halloween originally comes from the Celts that lived in Europe over 2000 years ago. The Celtic festival of Samhain, which comes from the Old Irish for “summer’s end” marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the ‘darker half’ of the year. It was seen as a time when thespirits could more easily come into our world. The souls of the dead throughout history were both honored and warded-off. The custom of wearing costumes andmasks at Halloween goes back to Celtic traditions of attempting to copy the evilspirits or placate them. Bonfires, which were deemed to have protective and cleansing powers, were used in rituals and to scare off witches.

Throughout history Halloween has been an important tradition in Scotland and Ireland. In these countries, children and poor people would sing and say prayers for the dead in return for cakes which is where “trick or treating” began. The Celts would carry lanterns made with turnips. During the 19th Century when the Irish and Scottish immigrated massively to North America they brought the Halloween tradition with them. On US soil, the turnip lanterns changed to pumpkin lanterns which are called Jack-o-Lanterns. Trick or Treating was confined to the immigrant communities of North American during the 1800´s, but slowly it was gradually assimilated into mainstream society and by the early 1900´s it was being celebrated coast to coast by people of all social, racial and religious backgrounds.

Today, many countries still remember the dead on November 1st which is called All Saints Day. Another name for it is “All Hallow’s Day”. The day before, October 31st, is called “All Hallow’s Eve”, or Halloween for short.

Cada año el día 31 de octubre los niños ( y algunos adultos) se difrazan para celebrar Halloween. Se decoran las casas con calabazas linternas, arañas y telas de araña artificiales, brujas y fantasmas y otros objetos espantosos que simbolizan este día especial. Durante la tarde/noche de Halloween, en Norte America y muchos otros países del mundo, se puede ver grupos de niños disfrazados andando por las calles visitando las casas de sus vecinos para recibir caramelos.

Las actividades típicas de Halloween incluyen “Truco o Trato” (ir de casa en casa para pedir caramelos o comida), ir a fiestas de disfraces, decorar, tallar una calabaza, encender hogueras, caza de manzanas, visitar casas encantadas, contar historias de miedo y mirar películas de terror. Pero ¿cuál es el origen de esta fiesta?

Halloween se originó con los celtas que vivían en Europa hace más de 2.000 años. La fiesta celta de Samhain, que procede del antiguo irlandés para decir “fin del verano”, marcaba el fin de la temporada de cosecha y el principio del invierno o la `mitad más oscura´ del año. Fue visto como una temporada cuando era más fácil que los espíritus entraran en nuestro mundo. Los almas de los muertos a lo largo de la historia fueron en momentos homenajeados y en otros conjurados. La costumbre de disfrazarse y llevar máscaras se remonta a las tradiciones célticas de intentar copiar a los malos espíritus o aplacarlos. Las hogueras, que se consideraron protectoras y con poderes sanadores, se utilizaban en rituales y para asustar a las brujas.

A lo largo de la historia, Halloween ha sido una importante tradición en Escocia e Irlanda. En estos países, los niños y los más pobres cantaban y rezaban a cambio de pasteles o comida que es dónde se originó el “Truco o Trato”. Los celtas llevaban linternas hechas con nabos. Durante el siglo 19, cuando los irlandeses y los escoceses inmigraron de forma masiva a América del Norte trajeron consigo la tradición de Halloween. En tierras americanas las linternas de nabos se cambiaron por linternas de calabazas. La costumbre del “Truco o trato” se limitaba a las comunidades inmigrantes de Norte América durante el siglo XIX pero gradualmente se introducía en la sociedad en general y a principios del siglo XX se celebraba ya de costa a costa por personas de todo tipo de antecedencia social, racial y religioso.

Hoy en día, muchos países recuerdan los muertos el día 1 de noviembre llamado Todos Santos. Otro nombre para este día es “All Hallow’s Day”. La víspera, el 31 de octubre, se llama “All Hallow’s Eve” o su nombre abreviado Halloween.
