🌊 Storm’s Gonna Pass 🌞 (A Folk Song for Queensland as Cyclone Alfred Approaches) Verse 1: The wind starts a-howlin’, the tide’s runnin’ high, Clouds rollin’ heavy across the night sky. But we’ve known the thunder, we’ve danced in the rain, Queensland stands tall, we’ll do it again. Pre-Chorus: So gather close, don’t be afraid, We’ve walked through storms, we won’t be swayed. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Golden sun’s gonna break that sky. We’ll hold our ground, we won’t back down, Queensland’s heart won’t be blown around. Verse 2: Lanterns are flickerin’, hands holding tight, Neighbors and strangers stand side by side. The waters may rise, but love runs deep, We hold on to hope, that’s ours to keep. Pre-Chorus: So gather close, don’t be afraid, We’ve walked through storms, we won’t be swayed. Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Golden sun’s gonna break that sky. We’ll hold our ground, we won’t back down, Queensland’s heart won’t be blown around. Bridge: Raindrops fall, but so do tears, Not of sorrow, but strength through years. We've seen the floods, we’ve felt the waves, And every time, we rise from the shadows. Final Chorus: Storm’s gonna pass, winds gonna die, Golden sun’s gonna paint the sky. We’ll stand as one, no fear, no doubt, Queensland’s fire won’t be put out. Outro: So hold on tight, just close your eyes, When the winds are gone, we’ll see blue skies.

*"La Contratación Desigual"* Estrofa 1 Llegó la oferta, ¡qué emoción!, un buen empleo, ¡qué ilusión! Pero al mirar, ¡sorpresa total!, si eres mujer, te ponen un extra. Pre-Coro "¿Sabes planchar? ¿Y cocinar?", te preguntan sin parar. Y si eres madre, ¡ay, Dios mío!, te piden hasta un currículum vídeo. Coro ¡Ay! La contratación, no es igual pa’ los dos, si tienes falda, te ponen un plus. ¡Ay! La desigualdad, ¡qué risa y qué dolor!, en el trabajo hay discriminación. Estrofa 2 Él llega tarde, "es que es un crack", tú llegas tarde, "no vuelvas más". Él pide aumento, "es un líder nato", tú pides aumento, "¿estás loca o qué?". Pre-Coro Y aunque tienes la misma capacidad, te piden más, exigen lealtad. Un sueldo menor y doble exigencia, esa es la cruda y triste diferencia. Coro ¡Ay! La contratación, no es igual pa’ los dos, si tienes falda, te ponen un plus. ¡Ay! La desigualdad, ¡qué risa y qué dolor!, en el trabajo hay discriminación. Puente Pero no te rindas, ¡alza la voz!, que la igualdad llegará, ¡y será mejor! Con una sonrisa y mucho valor, rompemos juntas ese viejo error. Coro Final ¡Ay! La contratación, será igual pa’ los dos, sin importar si es falda o pantalón. ¡Ay! La igualdad, llegará con humor, y en el trabajo habrá más sabor. Outro Y en el trabajo habrá más sabor, y en el trabajo habrá más sabor. *(Fin)*

Verse 1: In Sonoma's fields where vineyards gleam, Under California's golden beam, From Santa Rosa's bustling streets, To Sebastopol where art life meets. Chorus: Oh, Sonoma County, holiday cheer, From rolling hills to coastline near, In Petaluma, boats alight, Parading through the festive night. Verse 2: In Healdsburg's plaza, spirits bright, Cloverdale's charm under starlit night, Through Rohnert Park's lively lanes, The joy of Christmas firmly reigns. Chorus: Oh, Sonoma County, holiday cheer, From rolling hills to coastline near, In Petaluma, boats alight, Parading through the festive night. Bridge: Echoes of Pomo and Miwok songs, In valleys where their spirits belong, Fort Ross stands by the ocean's side, A testament to times and tides. Verse 3: From Cotati's historic square, To Windsor's markets, treasures rare, Kenwood's vineyards, Glen Ellen's grace, The Christmas spirit finds its place. Chorus: Oh, Sonoma County, holiday cheer, From rolling hills to coastline near, In Petaluma, boats alight, Parading through the festive night. Outro: As December winds gently blow, And vineyards rest under moonlit glow, Sonoma's heart, so warm and true, Celebrates the old and new.

Verse 1] Penny, Where have you been all night? Sneaking through shadows, eyes burning bright. Your tail curls tight like a cinnamon bun, I’m worn and weary—your chaos won. [Verse 2] Oh, Penny, Don’t you dare talk back. Your whiskers twitch as you plan your next attack. I’ve got work in three hours; I need some sleep, Not a midnight circus on my sheets. [Chorus] You’re a bandit in the moonlight, Born in a hayloft, wild and free. A wayward queen, a velvet thief, A ghost that haunts the midnight streets. An untamed spell, a rebel’s grin, Wrapped in silk and streaks of sin. [Verse 3] Penny the Cloudfoot whispers her lies, Spinning tales of conquest with ember-lit eyes. She prowls on velvet, a hunter unseen, Paws like shadows, silent and keen. By the lily-padded floor, she claims her prize, A trembling feast beneath her vice. The bard-cat follows, singing praise, To Penny’s kingdom, a night-bound maze. [Chorus] And if her belly’s empty, Then peace will surely fall. From curtain towers to shattered vases, She’ll rule with sharpened claws. [Verse 4] Oh, I love you, You’re my devil, my delight. A specter in the rafters, A phantom in the night. Oh, I love you, Sleeping giant with wicked eyes.

मुटुका यि पाना भरि लेखे जिन्दगीलाई, हरेक प्रहर सपनिमा देखे जिन्दगीलाई| घाऊ थियो छाती भरि मनमा उस्तै पिडा, जन तन समालेर राखे जिन्दगीलाई| गाँस बास कपासको चाह.. राखी मैले , स्वार्थी बस्ने शहरमा बेचे जिन्दगीलाई| सयौँ खोला घुम्ती हरु पार गर्दै आज , यति टाढा रेगिस्तानमा भेटे जिन्दगीलाई| परिश्रम र पसिनाको सागर भित्र डुबी , सारंगीको तार सरि रेटे जिन्दगीलाई |

He wears a steel coat, but his heart’s so big, The kind of man who doesn’t bend, but always gives. Since the day he took her in, never once looked back, No one had to tell him—she was his, and that was that. Every heartbreak, every high, every long midnight drive, Every moment, good or bad, he was right there by her side. If she needed him, didn’t matter when— Before the call was over, he was already in the truck. [Verse 2] She was just a little girl, barely two years old, Puked in the backseat of his 2000 Ford. They still laugh about it—how he didn’t run, Maybe that’s the moment she became his forever. From riding the 90, kicking up sand, To learning to drive the Razor, feeling that rush. He sat beside her, let her take the wheel, Showed her she could handle anything, gave her the strength to believe. [Verse 3] Taught her to hitch up her trailer just right, Showed her how to plug a tire, check the taillights. And when she broke down just outside Jackson Hole, He drove 900 miles through the night, didn’t think twice. Backing her down dunes when she got stuck, Teasing her through the rugged radio after she was down. And yeah, he’ll still double-check the lift on her truck, ‘Cause last time, those shocks went flying off. [Verse 4] And now here they are, on this dance floor tonight, His little girl in white, holding on so tight. He has to let go, pass her hand to another man, But she’ll always be his little girl. And that guy standing there better understand, She’s not just anybody—she’s his whole world in his hands. She is special, she is rare, And a love like this will always be there. [Outro] She’ll always be his first child, his first light, And no matter where she goes in this life, If she ever needs him, all she has to do— Is pick up the phone, and he’ll be there, just like he’s always been. Because she’s his little girl, And his whole world… is her.

Well, I set out young with the sun in my eyes A pocket full of nothin’ but a head full of skies Feet on the gravel, hands in the air Followin’ the road though it don’t go nowhere [Chorus] Oh, the long road windin’ Ain't got no end in sight Time just keeps on ridin’ Through the day and the night [Verse 2] Met an old man sittin’ by the railroad track Said, “Boy, don’t waste your time lookin’ back” I tipped my hat and I walked on by One foot in the dust, one in the sky [Chorus] Oh, the long road windin’ Ain't got no end in sight Time just keeps on ridin’ Through the day and the night [Bridge] Some folks find a home, some just roam Some keep dreamin’ of places unknown But every step is another page in the book Ain’t no sense in turnin’ ‘round to look [Verse 3] Now I’m older, but I ain’t slowed down Still chasin’ sunsets in another town When my boots wear thin and the road runs dry I’ll still be hummin’ this lonesome cry [Chorus] Oh, the long road windin’ Ain't got no end in sight Time just keeps on ridin’ Through the day and the night [Outro] So if you see me, don’t ask my name Just another traveler in the wind and rain One more mile, one more tune I’ll be gone by the rise of the moon

[Verse] Caminando en la selva bajo el sol ardiente Encontré una luz que brilla intensamente Con mis pies descalzos bailo al ritmo fiel El canto de los espíritus suena tan bien [Verse 2] Los tambores llamaban a todos a celebrar El pueblo se une en una danza sin igual Con las manos al cielo y el corazón abierto Es un himno de amor que nunca estará muerto [Chorus] Alegría divina en cada paso que doy Con cada movimiento mi espíritu soy Canto con fervor bajo el cielo azul Es la fuerza de la vida que siempre es tan cruel [Verse 3] De las montañas baja un río que cantar Susurrando secretos que quiero escuchar En el eco de la noche resuena mi voz Es la voz de un pueblo buscándose a sí mismo [Bridge] Las estrellas arriba nos miran brillar Con cada nota en el aire el mundo vamos a sanar Es un viaje sagrado ningún temor Solo la verdad y un eterno fervor [Chorus] Alegría divina en cada paso que doy Con cada movimiento mi espíritu soy Canto con fervor bajo el cielo azul Es la fuerza de la vida que siempre es tan cruel

Verse 1: Im losing my mind, Im losing my soul, I dont know which way to go, I just wanna be right here with you. Verse 2: Touching the mountains and climbing the trees, There was always a place for you and me, We just needed a bit of guidance along the way. Chorus: Beautiful places on Gods green earth, Among the faces, I cant find my worth, I need to read my bible and go to church, But it feels like your love has left a void inside of me. Verse 3: Im too young to be feeling this way, Way too young to be locked in space, I dont wanna do what i need to do, I just wanna be right here with you. Bridge: On top of the world, Flying high, Fighting for a chance in the northern sky, Your love lifts me up like a gentle breeze, With you by side, we will sail the seven seas. Chorus: Beautiful places on Gods green earth, Among the faces, I cant find my worth, I need to read my bible and go to church, But it feels like your love has left a void inside of me. Verse 4: Through the storm, I search for a light, Too guide me through the darkest of nights, Your love is the beacon, shining true, I just wanna be right here with you. Verse 5: Memories of laughter, days gone by, Dreams of a future, you and I, We"ll build a life, a love so new, I just wanna be right here with you. Outro: I just wanna to be right here with you, I just wanna be right here with you, No more void, just love within me, I just want to be right there with you.

[Verse 1] Ai re ai, boshe achi eka, Haat e shudhu roler sheshta tukro rekha. Tor hater chhoya, ajke shudhu chhaya, Dhua’r majhe mone pore tor maya. [Pre-Chorus] Firiye jao na, bondho koro na, Ekbar fire bol, tui amake chao na? Ekta pull, ekta shorir gelo shuno, Tor shonge amar chhilo akash r duno. [Chorus] Dhua dhua, buke aagun jole, Batas-e uthe, tor naam ta dole. Gaan geye jabo, jodi tui na asish, Tobu kush-er shathe mon ta keno hasish? [Verse 2] Ek cup cha, ekta cigarette, Ekdin tor haat dhore chhila durotto set. Toke niye swapno, toke niye gan, Ami r tumi chilam akash ar jhon. [Pre-Chorus] Firiye jao na, bondho koro na, Ekbar fire bol, tui amake chao na? Ekta pull, ekta shorir gelo shuno, Tor shonge amar chhilo akash r duno. [Chorus] Dhua dhua, buke aagun jole, Batas-e uthe, tor naam ta dole. Gaan geye jabo, jodi tui na asish, Tobu kush-er shathe mon ta keno hasish? [Bridge] Ekbar fire ashle, kichu boli tore, Aaj-o amar chokh, shudhu toke khuje. Ekta shesher line, ekta shesher pull, Tui gele bole ja, keno holo bhul? [Outro] Dhua dhua, chokh gele jole, Tor kotha gulo shudhu mon-ke tole. Bujhte parli na, r ki ar bolbo? Dhua hoye gelo shob, tai ar jolbo.
