My performance was a musical collaboration that illustrates the subjects we covered throughout the course. We found that we could each contribute a unique quality towards our performance, for my case I sang a Spanish song. I took an original Spanish song Shakira’s Dia de enero, and changed the lyrics in order to express my creation story. Meanwhile, my other partners worked on performing their parts with a Jazzy twist, Chinese, and hip-hop style. We intended to create this musical mixture; because our ESEM was a construction of all our cultures…to be honest with you I was quite nervous to perform my part. I don’t consider myself a singer. Nonetheless performing in front of the classes was a comfortable experience. I’ll be missing my ESEM. I hope that this won’t be the end of a long line of great classes in my college career. I like to thank all the teachers and the girls for the experience; we couldn’t have done it without you.
If you wish to see what my song translated to here it is…note that the song doesn’t quite sound as nice in English as it does in Spanish.
 
Génesis-Historia de la Creación
Fue en la oscuridad del universo
Que doy a luz su matriz
Y como tenia tanto sueno
Mejor los encerró sin fin
 
En esto mi creación
Con un amor sensación
 
Y ahora que estaban el día y noche
Como sol y la luna
Paliaron con varios rasguños
Y se desasieron del mal
 
Pero faltaba lo peor
Falta un protector
 
Voy a curarte la vida en duelo
Voy a dejarte como nuevo
Para pasar la paz
Pronto veras todo brillar
 
Tú más que nadie mereces ser feliz
 
Ya vas a ver como van sanando
Poco a poco tus heridas
Ya vas a ver como va
La misma vida a decantar el mal que sobra de allá
 
Y aunque haz sentido el colmo-duelo
Hasta en tu pecho de allí
Sol yo te digo, “Tenga fe tu”
Luna aun dice, “Voy por allí
Y ella llora destrucción, matando la maldición
 
Y aunque parezcas despistado con ese caminar
Pausado
Conozco tu valor, que hace enfrentar el corazón
Por eso quise hacerte esta canción
 
Ya vas a ver como van sanando
Poco a poco tus heridas
Ya vas a ver como va
La misma vida a decantar el mal que sobra de allá
 
 
 
Genesis-Creation myth
It was there in the Darkness of the universe
That she gave birth from her womb
Since she was so tired
She locked them to their end
 
This my creation
With a love sensation
 
And now that day and night
Like sun and moon
Fought with many scars
Ridding themselves of evil
 
But the worst was yet to come
They needed a protector
 
 I'm going to cure your mourning soul
I'm going to leave you like new
To pass down our peace
Soon, you will see everything shine
You, more than anyone, deserve to be happy
 
Soon you will see
your wounds healing little by little
soon you will see how life itself
will decant the evil left there
 
 And although you've been in so much pain
from your chest to there
Sun will tell, “Have faith you”
And moon will say, “I’ll be there”
And she cries with destruction, killing all of evil
 
And though you seem absent minded with that lazy walk
I know you’re brave, which makes you confront your heart
that's why I wanted to make you this song
 
Soon you will see
your wounds healing little by little
soon you will see how life itself
will decant the evil left there
