TRADUCCIÓN:

voy a dar un cambio
por una vez en la vida
voy a sentirme realmente bien
voy a marcar la diferencia

al subirme el cuello
de mi abrigo de invierno favorito
el viento me confunde
veo los niÑos en la calle
sin lo bastante para comer
¿quiÉn soy yo para hacerme el ciego
pretendiendo que no veo sus necesidades?

una mala pasada del verano
una botella rota
y el alma de un hombre solitario
se siguen unos a otros
sobre el viento, ya sabes
porque no tienen a donde ir
por eso quiero que sepas que

estoy empezando por el hombre del espejo
estoy pidiÉndole que no sea asÍ
y ningÚn mensaje puede ser mÁs claro
si quieres hacer del mundo un sitio mejor
Échate un vistazo a tÍ mismo y cambia

he sido vÍctima de
un amor tan egoÍsta
es hora de reconocer
que hay alguien sin hogar
sin un cÉntimo que derrochar
¿puedo ser realmente yo
pretendiendo que no estÁn solos?

un sauce resquebrajado
el corazÓn roto de alguien
y un sueÑo olvidado
siguen la pauta
del viento, ya lo ves
porque no tienen a donde ir
por eso estoy empezando conmigo mismo

estoy empezando por el hombre del espejo
estoy pidiÉndole que no sea asÍ
y ningÚn mensaje puede ser mÁs claro

si quieres hacer del mundo un sitio mejor
Échate un vistazo a tÍ mismo y cambia

estoy empezando por el hombre del espejo
estoy pidiÉndole que no sea asÍ
y ningÚn mensaje puede ser mÁs claro
si quieres hacer del mundo un sitio mejor
Échate un vistazo a tÍ mismo y cambia

estoy empezando por el hombre del espejo
estoy pidiÉndole que no sea asÍ
y ningÚn mensaje puede ser mÁs claro
(si quieres hacer del mundo un sitio mejor)
(Échate un vistazo a tÍ mismo y cambia)
(tienes que hacerlo bien, mientras haya tiempo)
(porque cuando cierras tu corazÓn)
no puedes cerrar tu...
(entonces cierras tu mente)
tu mente

ese hombre, ese hombre, ese hombre, ese hombre, ese hombre
ese hombre, el hombre, ya sabes, ese hombre

si quieres hacer del mundo un sitio mejor
Échate un vistazo a tÍ mismo y cambia

voy a sentirme bien de verdad, sÍ
no, no, no, no
voy a hacer ese cambio
me voy a sentir bien de verdad
vamos

levÁntate
lo sabes, tienes que pararlo tÚ mismo, hermano
tengo que hacer ese cambio, hoy
no puedes, no te puedes dejar, hermano
tienes, tienes que moverte
vamos, vamos

tienes que
levantarte, levÁntate, levÁntate
levÁntate y elÉvate solo, ahora
vas a hacer ese cambio, vamos

lo sabes, lo sabes, lo sabes, lo sabes

haz ese cambio

"All Right" and "Alright". “All Together” and “Altogether”. “All Ready” and “Already”.

All Right vs Alright

All right has multiple meanings. It can mean ok, acceptable, unhurt.

The single word spelling alright has never been accepted as standard.

Some would even argue that, through common usage, alright is becoming more acceptable than all right. The makers of TV show It'll be alright on the night are known to have considered It'll be all right on the night, but opted for the former as a more modern version.

---

All Together vs Altogether 

The adverb altogether means wholly, to the full extent, or with everything considered.

Examples: I left him altogether convinced that the project will end on time. 

The term all together pertains to when a group acts or is acted upon collectively. (Of note, there can be other words betweenall and together.)

Examples: I want you to sing all together.  (I want you all to sing together.)

SPELLING FATHER.

Stressed out.

"Stressed Out"

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard,
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words,
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new,
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang,

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink,
But now I'm insecure and I care what people think.

My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.
My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

We're stressed out.

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young,
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from,
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it,
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one,

It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose,
Same clothes homegrown a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam,
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered,
Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter.

My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.
My name's 'Blurryface' and I care what you think.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."
Yo.

We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."
Yo.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.

Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, bunny
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face,
Saying, "Wake up, you need to make money."
Yo.
