Hive Open Mic Week #237 | Girl on Fire - Alicia Keys (Cover) by @yisusth


Greetings everyone, at Hive Open Mic Week #237 we celebrate the strength, diversity and achievements of women. The theme is “Long Live Women!” I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of “Girl on Fire”, a genre-blending song by Alicia Keys, Jeff Bhasker, Salaam Remi and Billy Squier. The lyrics speak of a strong, independent and determined woman who refuses to be defined by others. Fire represents passion, energy and inner strength and symbolizes the ability to rise from the ashes and overcome any obstacle. Some important events in Alicia’s life such as the birth of her son Egypt and her marriage to Swizz Beatz made her reflect on her own identity as a woman and mother and feel a renewed strength and determination. The melody is beautiful and has a steady and energetic beat. I have always loved Alicia Keys, she is an amazing singer and pianist.

Saludos a todos, en el Hive Open Mic Semana #237 celebramos la fuerza, la diversidad y los logros de las mujeres. La temática es "¡Vivan las mujeres!". Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Girl on Fire», una canción que combina géneros como el R&B y el Hip Hop compuesta por Alicia Keys, Jeff Bhasker, Salaam Remi y Billy Squier. La letra habla de una mujer fuerte, independiente y decidida, que se niega a ser definida por los demás. El fuego representa la pasión, la energía y la fuerza interior y simboliza la capacidad de renacer de las cenizas y de superar cualquier obstáculo. Algunos eventos importantes en la vida de Alicia como el nacimiento de su hijo Egypt y su matrimonio con Swizz Beatz, la hicieron reflexionar sobre su propia identidad como mujer y madre, y a sentir una renovada fuerza y determinación. La melodía es hermosa y tiene un ritmo constante y enérgico. Siempre me ha encantado Alicia Keys, ella es una cantante y pianista increíble.

I recently wrote about my grandmother and the important women in my life. Today I want to pay tribute to my mother. From her I learned to read, sing, and have faith in God. My mother is a very intelligent woman. At over 60 years old, she never ceases to amaze me with her ability to adapt to new technologies and with her culinary skills. Since we were children, we always saw her cultivating her talents. When she finds a recipe on the internet, she turns it into a personal challenge, adapting it and adding her unique touch. She is an intuitive woman, we could say that, following the perspective of the Gospel, she is filled with the Holy Spirit. She makes timely and assertive decisions. She is always attentive to her children, even now that we have our own families. Finally, I want to highlight her love and service to others. She is always willing to share her talents, her time, and her skills.

Recientemente escribí sobre mi abuela y sobre las mujeres importantes en mi vida. Hoy quiero rendir homenaje a mi madre. De ella aprendí a leer, a cantar y a tener fe en Dios. Mi madre es una mujer muy inteligente. A sus más de 60 años, no deja de sorprenderme con su capacidad para adaptarse a las nuevas tecnologías y con sus habilidades culinarias. Desde pequeños, siempre la vimos cultivando sus talentos. Cuando encuentra una receta en internet, la convierte en un desafío personal, adaptándola y añadiendo su toque único. Es una mujer intuitiva, podríamos decir que, siguiendo la perspectiva del Evangelio, está llena del Espíritu Santo. Toma decisiones oportunas y asertivas. Siempre está pendiente de sus hijos, incluso ahora que tenemos nuestras propias familias. Por último, quiero destacar su amor y servicio hacia los demás. Siempre está dispuesta a compartir sus talentos, su tiempo y sus habilidades.

Girl on fire

She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy
Lonely like a highway
She's livin' in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away

Oh-oh, she got both feet on the ground
And she's burnin' it down
Oh-oh, she got her head in the clouds
And she's not backin' down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Oh-oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burnin' it down
Oh-oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not comin' down

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

(Oh) Everybody stares as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lightin' up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh

She's just a girl and she's on fire
