Appreciation

As I got up this morning

U watched me and hoped I'd talk to U

Even if it was just a few words

Askin' your opinion,

Thankin' U for something good that happened, Lord

But U noticed I was too busy

Tryin' to find the right clothes matchin' with the right shoes and I

Ran around the house getting ready

U knew there would be minutes to stop and say hello

But I still I were too busy

And at one point I had to wait doing nuttin'

Then U saw me spring to my feet

Thought I wanted to talk

But I ran to the phone

Called a friend... Wassup!

Ok now it's time for us to talk

So I find and empty room but hesitation is in my heart

A look down the hall ...nobody there so I close the door

Take of my new jacket? Man I can't put this on the floor

I'm a have this conversation standin' or my jeans will get dirty

Better yet I'm a sit on this chair right here 'cause I feel a bit lazy

Almost forgot to pull the curtains so no one can look in

And just when I'm about to utter U some words

Someone steps in

Embarrassed by the moment

I jump up and come up with some stupid excuse

Like I was looking for something

All while U were watchin' me patiently

Ready to give more chances

With the hope

That eventually at some point I will speak to U

U give me so much

U wait all day for a nod

A prayer or a thought

A thankful part of my heart

To all my moros back home

All day workin' hard

Struggling all week

Every dawn standing tall

I know U noticed that before lunch I looked around

I felt embarrassed to talk to U

That is why I didn't bow my head

Glanced 3 or 4 tables over, saw some of my friends talking to U

But I did not, there is still more time left

Hope that I will talk to U yet, but I

Went home and seemed as if I had lots of things to do

After that what is on TV

Suddenly I felt too tired to talk to U

Fell asleep in no time without a thought for U

I know it's hard to have a one sided conversation

Well give me some days to try again and again and again

Pasé por enfrente de tu casa esta mañana muy temprano

No me dio ni por llamarte, saludarte lo cual es muy extraño

Ahora que la luz está apagada estoy pensando

Si sólo cuando yo lo necesito conversamos

O si sólo cuando temo me haces falta

A cada instante tu retrato está en mi espalda

Me equivoco en muchas de cosas

Y defectos tengo más de cien

Estoy luchando, tú lo sabes bien

[Translation]

I came by your house very early this morning

I didn't stop to call you or say hi, and that's quite strange

Now that the lights are out, I'm thinking

If we only talk when I need it

Or if I only miss you when I'm afraid

I always carry you on my bag

Any moment you're out of my sight

I make mistakes in so many ways and

Faults, I have more than 100

I'm Struggling, you know I am

Appreciatin' is something I be forgettin'

Every second, 24/11, I?m a forgetful servant, I gotta be prayin' though

Appreciatin', when suffering, calamities call,

My soul be hospitalized and all gonna be alright

To all my moros back home

All day workin' hard

Struggling all week

Every dawn standing tall

To all my moros sheddin' tears

Still greet with warm smiles

Patiently throughout the years

Give praise to the most high

To all my moros back home

All day workin' hard

Struggling all week

Every dawn standing tall

To all my moros sheddin' tears

Still greet with warm smiles

Patiently throughout the years

Give praise to the most high

[Chorus]
