Lyrics What's That You Say - Joan Osborne

Siempre tuve una relación muy bonita con mi papá, je
Y yo quizás, era la favorita
Cuando era pequeña después de que mi papá regreso
De haber sido secuestrado, era
En casa se sentía un aire, un ambiente de miedo
De que algo malo nos iba a pasar

Just a young girl taken from her home
No you never paid her no mind
Now fast forward and the child is grown
Yes she lays it all on the line

Growing strong just like a tree
(What′s that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
(What's that you say?)
Growing strong just like a tree
(What′s that you say?)
Baby was a refugee
(What's that you say?)

Captivated by her eyes so brown
You could make a brand new start
When she's speakin′ you just tumble down
Watch her walk away with your heart

Growing strong just like a tree
(What′s that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
(What's that you say?)
Ooh, rising up for all to see
(What′s that you say?)
Baby was a refugee
(What's that you say?)

Mis papás
Nos explicaron que nos ibamos a ir a vivir a un país muy lejos
Quizáss no ibamos a ver anuestra familia por mucho tiempo
De pequeña no entendía exactamente la situación
Estaba acostumbrada a una ciudad muy grande
Con muchos unidos y muchas cosas alrededor
Y cuando llegamos al pueblito en donde estuvimos
Era muy silencioso, el tipo de gente que vivía ahí
No estaba acostumbrada a ver gente como yo y mi familia

Start the party in your neighborhood
She has brought a new way to be
Well it looks like it would do you good
Don′t you ever wanna get free?

Growing strong just like a tree
(What's that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
(What′s that you say?)
Ooh, rising up for all to see
(What's that you say?)
Baby was a refugee
(What's that you say?)

I say, growing strong just like a tree
(What′s that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
(What′s that you say?)
I say, growing strong just like a tree
(What's that you say?)
Baby was a refugee
(What′s that you say?) Oh

Yo acababa de regresar de haber servido a este país Estados Unidos
Por dos años
Y la forma en la cuál el oficial de migración se refería a mí
Era como si yo le estuviera diciendo mentiras
Como si yo estuviera tratando de adquirir algo que no

Growing strong just like a tree
(What's that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
Ooh, rising up for all to see
(What′s that you say?)
Baby was a refugee

I say, growing strong just like a tree
(What's that you say?)
Coming now to set you free
Rising up for all to see
(What′s that you say?)
Baby was a refugee
(What's that you say?)

No tengo miedo
