Hive Open Mic Week 149 || Try By Colbie Caillat (cover) || Eng-Esp

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


This song choice was inspired by an Instagram reel. Unfortunately, I forgot to like the reel, or I'd have shared it in this post.

Life is a journey in which many people are eager to tell you what to do with yours. The artist who sang this song, Colbie Caillat, mentioned that it was inspired by rejection and pressure to be what she isn't.


The song is obviously not about makeup; I'll love me a good makeover sometime. I even get my nails done every now and then.

I won't pass a chance to flaunt this beaut😍😂


The main message the song passes across is to make decisions and take actions independent of external pressure.

Relating to the theme of the week by our dearest friend @jessicaossom, the reel I mentioned seeing stated that instead of focusing on what people have to say about you and doing things because they said to, focus on what God says about you. Jesus instructs us to be the light of the world, a ray of sunshine wherever we go. That'd imply not refraining from kindness because it is perceived as stupidity or refraining from modesty in order to persuade people that you are knowledgeable about current events. Learn to be comfortable in your own skin and embrace what God says about you; that's fulfillment.

Español

Esta canción está inspirada en un vídeo de Instagram. Por desgracia, olvidé darle a me gusta al reel, o lo habría compartido en este post.

La vida es un viaje en el que mucha gente está deseando decirte qué hacer con el tuyo. La artista que cantó esta canción, Colbie Caillat, mencionó que se inspiró en el rechazo y la presión por ser lo que no es.


Obviamente, la canción no habla de maquillaje. Incluso me hago las uñas de vez en cuando.
No dejaré pasar la oportunidad de presumir de esta belleza😍😂


El principal mensaje que transmite la canción es que hay que tomar decisiones y actuar independientemente de las presiones externas.

En relación con el tema de la semana de nuestra queridísima amiga @jessicaossom, el rollo que mencioné ver decía que en lugar de centrarse en lo que la gente tiene que decir de ti y hacer las cosas porque te lo dicen, céntrate en lo que Dios dice de ti. Jesús nos instruye a ser la luz del mundo, un rayo de sol dondequiera que vayamos. Eso implicaría no abstenerse de la amabilidad porque se percibe como estupidez o abstenerse de la modestia para persuadir a la gente de que estás bien informado sobre la actualidad. Aprende a sentirte cómodo en tu propia piel y acepta lo que Dios dice de ti; eso es la plenitud.


Lyrics / Letras

Put your make up on Get your nails done Curl your hair Run the extra mile Keep it slim So they like you. Do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong
So they like you. Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i
You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i
You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i
You don't have to try
Yoooou don't have to try

Get your shopping on,
At the mall,
Max your credit cards
You don't have to choose,
Buy it all
So they like you. Do they like you?

Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself
Do you like you? Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i...

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try-i-i...

Take your make up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you

Maquíllate Arreglarse las uñas Rízate el pelo Corre la milla extra Mantente delgado Así que les gustas. ¿Les gustas?

Ponte sexy
No seas tímida, chica
Quítatelo
Esto es lo que quieres, pertenecer
Así que les gustas ¿Les gustas?

No tienes que esforzarte tanto
No tienes que darlo todo
Sólo tienes que levantarte, levantarte, levantarte, levantarte
No tienes que cambiar ni una sola cosa

No tienes que intentar, intentar, intentar, intentar-i-i
No tienes que intentar, intentar, intentar, intentar...
No tienes que intentar, intentar, intentar, intentar...
No tienes que intentarlo
Yoooou don't have to try

Ve de compras
En el centro comercial,
Max your credit cards
No tienes que elegir
Cómpralo todo
Para que les gustes. ¿Les gustas?

Espera un segundo,
¿Por qué debería importarte lo que piensen de ti?
Cuando estás solo, por ti mismo
¿Les gustas? ¿Te gustas?

No tienes que esforzarte tanto
No tienes que darlo todo
Sólo tienes que levantarte, levantarte, levantarte, levantarte.
No tienes que cambiar ni una sola cosa

No tienes que esforzarte tanto
No tienes que doblarte hasta romperte
Sólo tienes que levantarte, levantarte, levantarte, levantarte
No tienes que cambiar nada

No tienes que intentarlo, intentarlo, intentarlo, intentarlo...

No tienes que esforzarte tanto
No tienes que darlo todo
Sólo tienes que levantarte, levantarte, levantarte, levantarte
No tienes que cambiar nada

No tienes que intentarlo, intentarlo, intentarlo...

Quítate el maquillaje
Suéltate el pelo
Respira hondo
Mírate en el espejo
¿No te gustas?
Porque me gustas


Thanks For Watching, You're Amazing Just The Way You Are ❤❣💋
