“Hands in the Air” (2009)
Album: Mi Plan (My Plan)
Genre: Pop, about defenselessness, relationship trouble, and not wanting to fight. Beautiful voice, but the song is sad. Don’t put your hands in the air in defeat! Nooo.
Country: Canada, Portuguese background
By the way, I want to point out that Nelly Furtado was first famous in English media (she sung light pop “I’m Like a Bird” and R&B “Promiscuous”). It is not often that English singers expand to the Spanish market, so this is interesting. This song was released as a single before re-release in the album.
Lyrics Translation:
Tú, que pierdes el control
Hablando en alta voz,
Hieres mi corazón.
You, who lose control,
Speaking with a raised voice,
Wound my heart.
