Single – Razteria

New Single: Sing it all out

This song expresses the desire to live and love to your fullest extent, take the risks without fear, recognizing that we have the potential and the power within us to fulfill our wildest pursuits and beyond. It started with the mode – C#phrygian – so that the rabab, a traditional Turkish instrument could be featured.

Sing till you are tired (ahh)

Or till you cry for joy

Surrender

This song was inspired by someone in my life who I ached to have in my arms but with whom I knew I could have no expectations. In writing this song I hoped that it can share the beauty of the energy that I felt, even if I could only continue on with our connection in thought.

Oscuro y claro

I had to grow into this song. It started with the bassline and morphed into its current state over nearly a decade. The lyrics represent my duality, accepting myself, the dark and the light, the good and the bad.

Lyrics

ohh

ehhh

I hope that you find peace

I’m sorry that we didn’t have

Sorry, dad

We didn’t have those days together

For so many years, I resented you

My memories are clouded, and I still work through the pain

I am a reflection of yo–u – Reflection of you

Through and through, I am you, that’s the truth

I reflect you

I know you were confused

But you were well intentioned

You didn’t know

But life has taught you better

I see how you have grown

But your conscience won’t let you be

Can you hear me (can you hear me)

I can help you now give me your hand

I am a reflection of yo–u – Reflection of you

Through and through, I am you, that’s the truth

I reflect you

I am a reflection of you – Reflection of you

The good and the bad

The happy and sad (that’s the truth)

I wouldn’t change anything

I reflect you

My heart is on the mend

Now that we can be friends

I will forgive, never forget

We can be friends

we can be friends

I am a reflection of you – Reflection of you

Through and through, I am you, that’s the truth

I reflect you

I am a reflection of you – Reflection of you

The good and the bad

The happy and sad

I wouldn’t change anything

(The good and the bad, happy and sad)

The good and the bad, the happy and sad

(I wouldn’t change anything)

I wouldn’t change anything

(The good and the bad, happy and sad)

the good and the bad, happy and sad

I wouldn’t change anything

I am a reflection of you – Reflection of you

that’s the truth yes

I reflect you

Lyrics:

Intro

I’m running with myself

I didn’t tell anybody

But now

I know that we can’t be true

Nonononono owhoa

And I know that

What we have

Is so special

All these tears

And this hurt

Is my choice

You in my dreams

Oh whoa darling

Please don’t

Say its not true

I would never lie to you

Will you hold my hand so sweetly

So comforting

Will you find

My touch so sublime

Chorus

Ooo

If I could only rewrite time

Ohhowhoao

So paths would cross and our lives would align

Ohhowhoao

Bridge

Oh swing with me yeah

Oh dream with me

Take my hand in yours

And ride me off to the horizon

Those fairytales

My sweetness like a child so innocent

I didn’t know better

But I was always searching for you

And ride me off to the horizon

My sweetness like a child so innocent

Take my hand in yours

i wanna take you ride

Outro

If only if only if only

I could rewrite the time

A real story

But I know that

I’ll find you in my dreams

Ah

“Ah” is a latin pop track expressing passion and desire that exists when you are too shy to tell someone how you feel.

Verso 1

No pierdo nada

Si intento algo nuevo

y me caigo

Superar a mi ego

Aunque me juzguen

los demás

Y Sin tomarlo

Como algo personal

Las críticas son regalos

Que me hacen mejorar

No digas nada

Solo escucha

‘Lo que te’ quiero contar

Compartir mis sentimientos

Sin temor a fracasar

No lo tomaré tan personal

No me debes nada

Es un amor incondicional

Coro 1 (½)

Porque diablos soy timida

Quiero saltar desde la cima

Aunque duela la caída

Va ser fea la herida

Verso 2

No es posible es prohibido

Tocarte de verdad

Ya tienes a otra Y te voy a respetar

No lo tomaré tan personal

Te seguire amando es un amor incondicional

Coro 2

Porque diablos soy timida

Quiero saltar desde la cima

Aunque duela la caída

Va ser fea la herida

Quiero atraer tu mirada

Darte toda mienergía

‘No es que sea’ fría

Solo soy un poco timida

Puente

Estoy intentando reinventando me de nuevo

Poco a poco salir del mundo de mis sueños

Surgir de mi capullo

Y volar sin tener miedo

Pasito a pasito

Hasta encontrarte en mi camino

Coro 3

Porque diablos soy timida

Quiero gritar desde la cima

Aunque duela la caída

Va ser fea la herida

Quiero atraer tu mirada

Darte toda mienergía

‘No es que sea’ fría

solo soy un poco timida

Ya no quiero ser tímida

Quiero saltar desde la cima

Aunque duela la caída

Va ser fea la herida

Quiero atraer tu mirada

Darte toda mienergía

‘No es que sea’ fría

Solo soy un poco timida

Translation

i have nothing to lose

by trying something new

and failing

get beyond my ego

and the judgements of others

i won’t take it personally

Criticism is a gift that makes u better

Don’t say anything

Just listen

To what I want to tell you

Share my feelings

Without fearing rejection

I won’t take it personally

You owe me nothing

It’s unconditional love

why am i shy

i want to jump from the cliff

even if the fall hurts

the injury will be ugly

I want to capture your attention

give you all my energy

Don’t think i am cold

I’m just a little shy

I am trying reinventing myself again

Little by little getting out of my dream world

Surface from my cocoon

and fly without fear

Step by step

until i find you on my path

Gold to me

“Gold to me” is a soulful ballad inspired by the deep love for an unborn child.
