Greetings, Hive Open Mic Community! Since this is my first time participating in a singing competition at Hive, I'd want to introduce myself first. Hello, my name is Usagidee, and I'm from the Philippines. My fellow musician, who is now an angel in heaven, is the reason why I found myself in this community.
Tonight, let me share with you my rendition of the song Safe and Sound for this week's challenge. Taylor Swift wrote and sing the original one. This will be my very first entry for this 123rd week's challenge: A Better World For All.
¡Saludos, comunidad de micrófono abierto de Hive! Dado que esta es la primera vez que participo en una competencia de canto en Hive, me gustaría presentarme primero. Hola, mi nombre es Usagidee y soy de Filipinas. Mi compañero músico, que ahora es un ángel en el cielo, es la razón por la que me encontré en esta comunidad.
Esta noche, permítanme compartir con ustedes mi interpretación de la canción Safe and Sound para el desafío de esta semana. Taylor Swift escribió la canción original para esto. Esta será mi primera entrada para el desafío de esta semana 123: Un mundo mejor para todos. (I'm not sure if the translation was right because I just used Google translation)
"Safe and Sound"
(feat. The Civil Wars)
(from "The Hunger Games" soundtrack)
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go."
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling.
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
La, la (la, la)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh

Given the number of illnesses, crimes, catastrophes, and deaths of our loved ones in today's modern world, I chosen to use this track for this week's challenge in an effort to provide a small comfort for everyone. I want you to know that there is still hope to change and heal things for those who have suffered because of the cruelty of our society. I am aware that the victims of conflicts or tensions between nations will not have it easy, but let's keep being brave and pray that God will hear us.
Dada la cantidad de enfermedades, crímenes, catástrofes y muertes de nuestros seres queridos en el mundo moderno de hoy, he elegido usar esta pista para el desafío de esta semana en un esfuerzo por brindar un pequeño consuelo para todos. Quiero que sepas que todavía hay esperanza de cambiar y sanar las cosas para aquellos que han sufrido por la crueldad de nuestra sociedad. Soy consciente de que las víctimas de conflictos o tensiones entre naciones no lo tendrán fácil, pero sigamos siendo valientes y oremos para que Dios nos escuche.
Thank you for listening. 🙂
