Brandon flowers (Original letter)

Crossfire
There's a still in the street outside your window
You're keeping secrets on your pillow
Let me inside no cause for alarm
I promise tonight I won't do you harm
Yea I promise ya babe, I won't do ya no harm

And we're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Watching you dress as you turn down the lights
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heart and pain came-ah pouring down
Like hail, sleet and rain they're handing it out

We're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His firey arrows drew their beat in vain
And when the hardest part is over we'll be here
And our dreams will break
The boundaries of our fear
The boundaries of our fear

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Next to mine

Brandon flowers (translation)

Fuego cruzado

Hay silencio en la calle fuera de tu ventana
Guardas secretos en tu almohada
Déjame entrar no hay motivo para asustarse
Prometo que esta noche no te haré daño
Sí, te lo prometo cariño, no te haré daño

Y estamos atrapados en el fuego cruzado
Del cielo y el infierno
Y estamos buscando refugio
Túmbate
Túmbate
Túmbate

Mirándote vestirte mientras apagas las luces
Olvido todo sobre la tormenta que hay fuera
Nubes oscuras siguen su camino sobre la ciudad
Llegaron la angustia y el dolor lloviendo a cántaros
Como granizo, aguanieve y lluvia caen

Estamos atrapados en el fuego cruzado
Del cielo y el infierno
Y estamos buscando refugio Túmbate
Túmbate
Túmbate

Túmbate
Túmbate
Túmbate

Dile al diablo que puede volver por donde vino
Sus flechas de fuego están siendo disparadas en vano
Y cuando termine lo más difícil estaremos aquí
Y nuestros sueños romperán
Los límites de nuestro miedo
Los límites de nuestro miedo

Túmbate
Túmbate
Túmbate

Túmbate
Túmbate
Túmbate

A mi lado

Writing: Adventages and disadventages of...

Most people agree that studying outside your country is good. However, not many people dare to travel to another country to study. We will comment on the advantages and disadvantages below.

One advantage of studying in another city or country is that you can learn a new language. Moreover, another advantage is that you see the world and learn other cultures. You also can specialize in your career.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages, and one of them is that you have the family away and you can feel lonely. What’s more, you have your friends far away. Furthermore, you have to learn where everything is in your new city.

On balance, I think that studying abroad is good for your studies, and you can learn a new language. but you can feel sad just by having the family away.
