THE YOUNG WOMAN AND THE YOUNG MAN PRESENT
A MUSIC CONTEST
FIGHT
WITH CULTURE
THE PROJECT "CHANGE THE LYRICS"
WITH THE CHANCE TO WIN
$300
The Project Change the Lyrics consists in taking an existing song, and changing the lyrics, to do a cover with a wholesome message, according to Catholic and Christian values.
We will give you an Audacity file, with several tracks, forming the background music. You can add or remove as you please, but it is up to you to add the vocals, choirs, and come up with the lyrics, according to the idea that is stated in the contest page.
THE FIRST TRACK
SONG TO A MOTHER
This was a song released in the 80’s in Latin America, a beautiful poem dedicated to Motherhood.
To you who has given your life, your love and your space,
To you who carried in your womb, pain and weariness
To you who fought with nails and teeth, brave in your house and everywhere else.
To you my fresh rose of April,
To you my faithful cherubim
To you I dedicate my verses, my being and my victories
To you my respects, Milady, Milady, Milady.
To you my undefeated warrior,
To you my tireless fighter
To you my constant friend, of every hour.
Your name is a common name, like the flowers in the field.
Always in my mouth, a constant presence in my mind
And so I don’t continue bragging, this woman I speak of,
Is my sweet bird friend
Her name is My Mother.
(Repeat)
