Hello, Friend

Hola, Amigo

123 Andrés (written by Andrés Salguero & Christina Sanabria)

Podemos ser buenos amigos
Sin importar de dónde venimos

Tú y yo podemos llevarnos bien
No hay nada que temer

Aunque hables árabe o italiano
Al final somos seres humanos

Aunque hables quechua o mandarín
Un mismo idioma es sonreír

Hola amigo, ¿cómo te llamas?
Hola amigo, canta conmigo

Hola amigo, ¿cómo te llamas?
Hola amigo, canta conmigo

Y no me importa de dónde sos
Desde que tengas buen corazón

Y no me importa cuál sea tu idioma
Desde que seas buena persona

Venimos de muchos países
Y podemos vivir muy felices

Cantando esta canción
Sueña conmigo un mundo mucho mejor
Un mundo mucho mejor

Hola, hola
Hola, hola
Hola

¡Cantemos todos!

Hola amigo, ¿cómo te llamas?
Hola amigo, canta conmigo

Hola amigo, ¿cómo te llamas?
Hola amigo, canta conmigo

Hola, hola

Ho-o-ola, ho-o-ola

Hola amigo, ¿cómo te llamas?
Canta conmigo

Keep it Up

123 Andrés & Sugar Free Allstars

You fought so hard
You thought you’d get some rest
But this challenge isn’t over
Here’s another test

And it feels hard
And it feels wrong
Why do you have to go through this while you’re so young?

I have a friend who went through this, too
He asked me to tell everyone and especially you

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
Fill your heart with all the love around you
That will make you strong

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
It’s OK to cry but dry your eyes 
And sing your song

You’ll realize that you’re so strong
One day it will be you helping someone, singing this song

You will stand up and fall again
You’ll understand this is the game
You have us all, don’t lose your faith
We are your team, we’re here to stay

We are your team, we’re here to stay
We are your team, we’re here to stay

I have a friend who went through this, too
He asked me to tell everyone and especially you

Ey! Toma un momento y respira profundo
Piensa en la alegría en la belleza del mundo
Todos estamos contigo amigo mío
Permaneceremos juntos en este camino
Cierra los ojos, visualiza tu futuro
Mira, yo entiendo, sientes que hay momentos duros
Pero haz como Mario el Legendario 
Enfrentó al cáncer y venció a su contrario

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
Fill your heart with all the love around you
That will make you strong

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
It’s OK to cry but dry your eyes 
And sing your song

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
Fill your heart with all the love around you
That will make you strong

Don’t give up, don’t give up
Keep it up, keep it up
It’s OK to cry but dry your eyes 
And sing your song

Don’t give up
Keep on climbing the mountain, keep on running the race
We are behind you, don’t lose faith


RAP TRANSLATION:

Take a moment and take a deep breath
Remember the happiness and beauty in this world
We’re all here with you my friend
And we’ll stick with you on this journey
Close your eyes and look ahead
Look, I know, there are tough times
But be like the legendary Mario
He faced cancer and he beat it!

Cooperation

123 Andrés & Rissi Palmer

One, two…

You are different from me 
I am different from you
But I know the two of us
Can work as one

We don't always think alike
But you know, that is alright
There's common ground
Lend me a hand

Dame una mano
Luchemos juntos
Tomará tiempo
Hay que tener paciencia
Si cooperamos
Si cooperamos 
Pese a las diferencias

There were people in the past
Who thought this just wouldn't last
They were trapped
Inside their fears

We’re so different, that's real
But we can achieve this dream
Lend me a hand
Let's work together

Dame una mano
Marchemos juntos
Tomará esfuerzo
Hay que tener paciencia
Si cooperamos
Si cooperamos 
Pese a las diferencias

Show me what “community” looks like!
This is what “community” looks like!

Despite our differences
Despite our differences
Despite our differences
Despite our differences

Dame una mano (Give me a hand)
Luchemos juntos (Let's work together)
Tomará tiempo
Hay que tener paciencia
Si cooperamos
Si cooperamos
Pese a las diferencias 

Dame una mano (Give me a hand)
Marchemos juntos (Let’s march together)
Es el momento
No perdamos la urgencia 
Si cooperamos
Si cooperamos
Pese a las diferencias

Un amor tan grande

123 Andrés

No quiero quererte un poquito
No quiero un amor pequeñito
Quiero un amor gigante
Como un cielo grande
Tan grande para compartir

No quiero alegrarte un poquito
El mundo sería tan bonito
Si esta alegría
Fuera compartida
Y la gente fuera más feliz

Un amor tan grande como un continente
Un amor alegre, tan sincero
Un amor tan grande como el horizonte
Más alto que un monte, hasta el cielo

No quiero soñar un poquito
Pues esto es lo que necesito
Soñemos en grande
Y vamos adelante
Por ellos, por ti y por mí

Sólo somos niños pero este cariño
Puede cambiar el mundo entero
Encuentra un amigo que esté en el olvido
Abrázalo y dile “Te quiero”

Un amor que cruce muros y fronteras
Un amor alegre, más fuerte que el miedo 
Un amor que sea tu himno y bandera 
Un amor tan fuerte, hasta el cielo

Un amor, yo sueño con un amor
Un amor tan grande
Un amor, yo sueño con un amor
Un amor tan grande
Un amor, yo sueño con un amor
Un amor tan grande

Rainbow

123 Andrés & Suzi Shelton

When I see a rainbow
I can’t help but smile
When I see a rainbow
In the sky

Whenever it starts raining
Some people feel sad
But I feel so happy
I’ll tell you why

After the rain
The sun comes out
Something amazing
Can come about

Look up, look up
Above your head 
Look up, maybe a rainbow 
Will make your day

When I see a rainbow
I can’t help but smile
When I see a rainbow
In the sky

Red, orange, yellow
Green, blue
Indigo and violet, too

This makes me so happy
I’ll tell you why

After the rain
The sun comes out
Something amazing
Can come about

Look up, look up
Above your head 
Look up, maybe a rainbow 
Will make your day

And even though 
They seem like magic (magic)
Rainbows have an explanation
Reflection, refraction, dispersion
Of light in droplets of water

After the rain
The sun comes out
Something amazing
Can come about

Look up, look up
Above your head
There was a storm
But now instead
 
Look up, maybe a rainbow 
Will make your day
Will make your day

When I see a rainbow
I can’t help but smile

Fly, Shine, Soar

123 Andrés & Little Miss Ann

I want you to fly
I want you to fly
I want you to fly, my honeypie

I want you to shine
I want you to shine
I want you to shine, my sunshine

And I know I have some fears
And I know they engulf me
And I know I have to let them go

I want you to soar
I want you to soar
I want you to soar, my love

Yo quiero que vueles
Yo quiero que vueles 
Yo quiero que vueles, hasta el sol

Yo quiero que brilles
Yo quiero que brilles
Yo quiero que brilles, mi corazón

And I know I have some fears
And I know they engulf me
And I know I have to let them go

I want you to soar
I want you to soar
I want you to soar, my love, love, love

Boomerang

123 Andrés, Konshens the MC, Rita Rosa & Verny Varela

Bullies never win
Bullies never win

There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang
There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang

Yo
Bullies never win, their words float in the wind 
Round and round like a circle ending up where they begin
Give a smile, get a smile, be nice to your friend
And watch your friend be nice to you, the cycle never ends
Like hands ticking around the clock or spinning wheels that never stop
Good things come back to you, when given from the heart
Love, peace and light is what I spread every day
See whatever you say returns like a boomerang

Bullies never win

There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang
There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang

Bullies never win

Todo lo que digo debería tener sentido
Mis palabras tienen fuerza, dirección y contenido
Lo que lanzo en este verso lo libero al universo 
Y como un bumerang da vueltas y ya viene de regreso

Ahí viene, ahí viene el bumerang
Ahí viene, ahí viene el bumerang

There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang
There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang

Like a fetching dog, that’s bringing a ball back
Your words always return to you
Positive or not
When boomerangs of words are tossed 
They travel far, but never lost
And come into your atmosphere
Now you understand it clear
Every word we say 
Holds a little bit of weight
To lift up or breakdown
Be careful what you say now
Using them for good things 
Keep it simple and plain
‘Cause whatever you say returns like a boomerang

There it goes, there it goes
Here it comes, here it comes
There it goes, there it goes, it’s a boomerang
Here it comes, here it comes, it’s a boomerang

Miro hacia el pasado
Reconozco que he fallado
Pero de eso se trata,
Decir “Yo metí la pata”
Hablo desde el corazón 
Se vale pedir perdón
Hay que enmendar los errores 
Y tratar de ser mejores
Lanza al mundo
Energía positiva
Lo que lanzas ya regresa
Es un bumerang la vida

Ay, ya viene, allá viene, ya regresa
There it goes, there it goes...
 
El bumerang, el bumerang dando vueltas
 
Here it comes, here it comes...
 
Escucha bien lo que digo
Con tus palabras haz amigos
 
Es la enseñanza de la vida
Lanza energía positiva, mi bien
 
Lei lo lei lei la la la
 
Es un bumerang la vida
Andrés un dos tres decía
 
Como soy santiaguera, 
Te lo digo así de esta manera
El bumerang, el bumerang, ya regresa, ya regresa

Que ahí vienen un tus palabras

Lo que lanzo en mi soneo, es bonito, mirá, no es feo

Here it comes, here it comes

Hambone

123 Andrés, Cathy Fink, Uncle Devin & Lolita Walker

Hambone, hambone, where’ve you been?
Hambone, hambone, where’ve you been?
I was walking down the street
I was walking down the street
 
Were you walking by yourself
Were you walking by yourself
No I was walking with my friends
No I was walking with my friends
 
What were you holding in your hands?
What were you holding in your hands?
I was holding a big ol’ sign
I was holding a big ol’ sign
 
On your sign what did it say?
On your sign what did it say?
We want justice, we want change
We want justice, we want change
 
Black lives matter, yes they do
Black lives matter, yes they do
We have lots of work to do
We have lots of work to do

Goodbye

123 Andrés & Hullabaloo

There are good times
There are good friends
There is good company

There are good nights, there are good days
There’s so much good to see

But there’s a time that’s gotta come, it always does, eventually

So raise your hand, give me a wave
It’s time to say
Goodbye
We gotta say 
Goodbye

It’s hard to leave, we were having fun
Enjoying time well-spent
But all good things, come to an end
That’s how it is my friend

I don’t know where, but I’ll see you soon
Of this I’m sure, not if but when
So gimme a smile, chin up, be brave
It’s time to say
Goodbye
We gotta say 
Goodbye

Oooh, what’s next for me or you? I don’t know
But wherever we go 
There’ll be good things in store 
For us there, too
Wherever we go
So raise your hand, give me a wave 
It’s time to say

Goodbye
We gotta say
Goodbye

Goodbye
Give me a smile, chin up, be brave 
Goodbye
No es adiós, es hasta luego
Goodbye
Hasta la próxima vez
Goodbye
Volveré volveré a encontrarte luego
Goodbye
Tú y yo, nos volveremos a ver

Hello, Friend

123 Andrés & Lea Morris

It doesn’t matter where you are from
If you speak English or Español
It doesn’t matter, there’s nothing wrong
We can all get along

If you speak German or Japanese
It doesn’t make any difference to me

If you speak Arabic, Chinese or French
We can all just be friends

Hello friend, it’s great to meet you
Hello friend, tell me your name
Hello friend, it’s great to meet you
Hello friend, tell me your name

Don’t let a difference drift us apart
We’re all the same inside our hearts
It doesn’t matter where you are from
You are welcome in my home

We come from different places
But we have smiles on our faces
And when we share our names
We realize we’re all the same, we’re all the same

Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Hello friend, hello friend
Brothers and sisters!

Hello friend, it’s great to meet you
Hello friend, tell me your name
What’s your name?
Hello friend, it’s great to meet you
Hello friend, tell me your name

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

Hello friend, hello

Hello

Hello friend, it’s great to meet you
You’ll be my friend
