lyrics

Written by J. Numhauser

Cambia lo superficial / cambia también lo profundo
cambia el modo de pensar / cambia todo en este mundo

Cambia el clima con los años / cambia el pastor su rebaño
y así como todo cambia / que yo cambie no es extraño

Cambia el mas fino brillante / de mano en mano su brillo
cambia el nido el pajarillo / cambia el sentir un amante

Cambia el rumbo el caminante / aunque esto le cause daño
y así como todo cambia / que yo cambie no extraño

Cambia todo cambia
Cambia el sol en su carrera / cuando la noche subsiste
cambia la planta y se viste / de verde en la primavera

Cambia el pelaje la fiera / Cambia el cabello el anciano
y así como todo cambia / que yo cambie no es extraño

Pero no cambia mi amor / por mas lejos que me encuentre
ni el recuerdo ni el dolor / de mi pueblo y de mi gente

Lo que cambió ayer / tendrá que cambiar mañana
así como cambio yo / en esta tierra lejana

Cambia todo cambia

>>> Translation: Everything Changes - The sentiment of this song is best explained by the feeling of sorrow of banishment from one’s country and the frustration of holding on to the memory while everything changes – including oneself.

The superficial things change / and so do things profound
our way of thinking changes / everything in this world changes

Climate changes with the years / a shepherd changes his flock
and since everything must change / that I should change is not strange

The finest brilliant thing / changes its luster from hand to hand
a bird’s nest can change / and so can a lover’s feelings

A walker changes their course / although it could cause harm
and since everything must change / that I should change is not strange

Change, everything changes
The sun changes in its path / when only night remains
a plant changes its garments / from the green it was in spring

Animals’ coats change / And the hair of the elderly
and since everything must change / that I should change is not strange

But my love does not change / no matter how far away I travel
nor the memory nor the pain / of my country and my people

What changed yesterday / will have to change tomorrow
just as I am changing / in this distant country

Change, everything changes

Vanessa Lively observes how strongly music connects people. Her music is an expression of that experience, filled with representative themes: “Community, living in solidarity with those around you. Feeling what other people’s struggles and joys are. Her latest album Uncovering Stones truly shows how she feels those connections deeply – and when you listen, you will, too. ... more
