Careful

If you're not chilean then you'll probably won't recognize this translation of this song by Jeo Vasconsellos, great artist, didn't want to take credit for his words, so here I give you the translation, dedicated to... eh, no one, just matches how I feel right now. (not really, may be how I want to feel)


Ingrate man, you betrayed me
You left marks in my heart
And although every seems normal
You keep lying to my heart

So pay me much attention
Kiss me and don't come back
And althought everything seems fine
Follow your own path

But be careful!
You'll see
That you shoulnd't play with someone else's life
Careful!
May be
You'll dream of me at nights

It's been 3 days without sleep
I do everything to forget
I think I won't be able to stand
The sentence of your betrayal

Misericordy give light
Give me a path to the light
And although everything seems normal
Say goodbye and don't come back

Careful!
You'll see
That you shouldn't play with someone else's soul

Careful!
May be
You'll dream of me at night

You keep lying to my heart
So pay me much attention
Kiss me and don't come back


Mujer ingrata tu traicion
Dejo huellas en mi corazon
Y aunque todo parece normal
Sigues mintiendole al corazon
Por eso ponle mucha atencionDame un beso y no vuelvas mas
Y aunque todo parece normal
Sigue tu propio camino
Cuidado!
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con vida ajena mujer
Cuidado!
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo
Llevo tres dias sin dormir
Hago de todo para olvidar
Creo que no podre soportar
La condena de una traicion
Misericordia dame la luz
Dame un camino a la caridad
Y aunque todo parece normal
Dime adios y no vuelvas mas
Cuidado!
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma agena mujer
Cuidado!
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo
Hermana ingrata tu traicion
Dejo marcas en mi corazon
Y aunque paresca todo normal
Sigues mitiendole al corazon
Por eso ponle mucha atencion
Dame un beso y no vuelvas mas
Y aunque todo parece normal
Sigue tu propio camino
Cuidado!
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma agena mujer
Cuidado!
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo, Mujerrrrrrrrr!
Llevo tres dias sin dormir
Hago de todo para olvidar
Creo que no podre soportar
La condena de una traicion
Misericordia dame la luz
Dame un camino la caridad
Y aunque todo parece normal
Dime adios y no vuelvas mas
Cuidado!
Vas a ver
Que no se juega con alma agena mujer
Cuidado!
Puede ser
Que por las noches sueñes conmigo

The Holy Grail

So, last year of high school starts in about four days, and the search for my great question keeps going as if I as searching for the Holy Grail. What the hell am I going to do after graduating?
Staying here obviously is not an option. My parent's are sick of being here, breaking their backs for their paycheck to paycheck life. I see how every day they grow tired from this knowing that back "home" things would be way easier, not only for them, but monetary, for me too since college it's ultra cheap (compared to US college expenses rates) but, this is all I know, so I don't want to leave.
Beating my head and dropping one or two tears I realize that I have one "obvious" option, which would be going back, study film, come back and do that thing where I need to study for one year so my tittle is valid here, or my latest idea; not staying here, nor there.
My attraction for Australia has always been of great proportions, and slow day on google.com I come across this australian film school and a little light bulb turned on to an even greater question.

"What if I left and had my own adventure on a complete different country, all by myself?"

I mean, I would be doing what I love, going to Film School (actually, they have schools within the school, so I would be going to "Editing School") in a place that I've always wanted to visit, all by myself, and hopefully not stressing out the parents, which I love so much.
Now, technical things that would stop me from going are pretty much money... and... money, but I don't think I would have any troubles gettin a loan from a chilean bank, and if I can't get a loan...then I guess my whole plan screws itself over (since this school does not offer any kind of finantial aid to any student, not even australian students), but that's not something I want to consider right now.
Emotional ties. Plenty of them (at the time). Right now we're all together, loving each other and having our little "wooho! Senior year!" mentality. But when those acceptance letters starts comming for everyone and knowing that probably we all will end up in a different place breaks my heart a bit. But I think, if my best friend is going to one side of Florida, the other one goes to another part of this state or another one, we'll all going to be separated anyways and we would end up communicating through the internet. Same thing if I'm not in this country, considering one state is as big as a regular country (or at least Florida is bigger than Chile). Also, ties to that special "him"? Yes, there are, but then again, nothing is set on stone at the moment when it comes about him and even if things do work out, I still can't stay here.
Australia seems like a place where I could just start a new life, not that I don't like the one I have here, but just my own life adventure where I could depend on no one else but myself.
The hardest thing would be leaving those who are close to me, but as I see it, they'll be leaving me as well.
