NO TEMO FRACASAR

Muchas veces sueño
con poder llegar a ser
algo en este mundo
que saciara mis deseos
 y calmara mi sed.

Pero me da miedo 
lo que pueda suceder
si consigo el triunfo
y la fama y su destello 
un dios me haga creer.

Estribillo

Una nueva vida 
habrá empezado para mí 
unas nuevas gentes
y su forma de vivir.
Sé que me costará
y que seré prudente  
pues no temo fracasar.

------------------- 

Sólo pido y quiero 
seguir siendo como soy:
unos ven creído
al que otros ven ingenuo 
y un pobre infeliz.

Pero mi conciencia
está limpia y en paz:
digan lo que digan
mi camino es la experiencia,
la verdad y la humildad.

Estribillo

Si la suerte un día 
me llegara a sonreír
y mis dulces sueños
despertaran a la vida
y me hicieran feliz.  

Sólo pido y quiero 
seguir siendo como soy:
unos ven creído
al que otros ven ingenuo 
y un pobre infeliz.

 Estribillo

I'M NOT AFRAID OF FAILING

Many times I dream
with the power to become
something in this world
that would satisfy my desires
 and quench my thirst.

But it scares me
what can happen
if I win
and fame and its flash
a god make me believe.

Chorus

A new life
it will have started for me
some new people
and their way of living.
I know it will cost me
and that I will be prudent
Well, I'm not afraid of failing.

-------------------

I only ask and want
continue being as I am:
some see believed
whom others see as naive
and a poor unfortunate.

but my conscience
It is clean and at peace:
whatever they say
my path is experience,
truth and humility.

Chorus

If luck one day
I would smile
and my sweet dreams
will wake up to life
and they made me happy.

I only ask and want
continue being as I am:
some see believed
whom others see as naive
and a poor unfortunate.

 Chorus

NO TEMO FRACASAR (Feat. Manuel Palomino)

"Trevor Said" by These Guitars Say Sorry is a raw, emotional acoustic ballad featuring only percussively strummed guitar and heartfelt vocals delivered in a distinct British accent. With minimalist instrumentation, the song paints vivid portraits of everyday struggles and personal stories, blending folk-rock with social commentary. The stripped-down arrangement allows the poignant lyrics and gritty vocal performance to take center stage, echoing influences from British folk and working-class protest songs. It's a powerful reflection on life’s hardships, resilience, and the scars we carry.

Lyrics

Trevor said he never expected
The thoughts in his head to amount to anything 

Jennifer sits alone in her bedroom
Wondering why the phone never rings


Cathy thinks she wants a divorce
Her husband Jeff doesn’t know it yet


Lucia’s worked 10 years in a factory 
Doesn’t see her kids
But it pays the rent


Can I paint you a picture?
Have you seen it before?
The life and the love and the loss
And yet you ask for more


Life is hard, you can pretend but anyway
How frail we are
Here tomorrow gone today
The pain’s so sharp take me, take me far away
Yet here we are
Showing off the scars we made


Edna said she never expected
To live this long but the end is nigh


The teenage years are always the hardest
Melissa texts and wonders why 

David’s waiting for life to get started 
Anna wishes she had a plan


Christian sits there broken hearted
Thomas is ready to make a stand


Can I paint you a picture?
Have you seen it before?
The life and the love and the loss
And yet you ask for more


Life is hard, you can pretend but anyway 
How frail we are
Here tomorrow gone today
The pain’s so sharp take me, take me far away
Yet here we are
Showing off the scars we made


You can pretend but anyway
You can pretend but anyway
Life's Hard

PROGRAM NOTE
New York Stories began as a song for soprano, baritone, and piano called Crossing The Hudson with text by Mark Campbell, which the Five Boroughs Music Festival commissioned. A few years later, David Cote wrote lyrics for a duet with the same instrumentation called Extraordinary as a concert ender for two song cycles we created: In Real Life I and In Real Life II. After these two pieces, I sensed a pattern emerging, or at least a potential project. Since both of these pieces take place in and contain texts by writers based in New York City, I thought it would be fun to ask four other talented New York City-based writers to write short libretti, with the only stipulation that each piece be inspired by or take place in the five boroughs. The other writers I chose for this project include Margot Connolly, Briana Elyse Hunter, John de los Santos, and Sokunthary Svay.
