I Don't Believe in Never. This song was suggested to me by another Obama blogger, Dinora. I was not familiar with the song or the artist so I went surfing over at my second online home, YouTube, and found it. What a pleasant surprise! Even though I am not fluent in Spanish I did study the language for 3 1/2 years in high school so I was able to understand a lot of the song. From what I learned, the artist Juanes, is very well known and popular in Mexico. When I mentioned this to my daughter in Seattle she knew exactly who I was talking about so, sadly I feel I was a little behind the curve on this one.
Anyway, the song has a very catchy beat to it and I included the English subtitles for the majority of the song other than when the chorus repeats the second time. I'll include all the English translation lyrics here for anyone who may be interested. The spanish lyrics can be found all over the web with a simple google search.
I want everyone to know that I like all types of music and I am always open to suggestions for songs to use for Obama videos. Once again kudos to Dinora for the suggestion on this one.

No Creo En el Jamas - I Don't Believe in Never
When life throws me blows and knocks me to the ground
is when I feel the most that I have to pick myself up
for facing fear is a way to conquer it
I won't give up, I won't give my life to fear
fear is an assasin that kills feelings
whenever I'm alone, it's because God is here inside me
and I need silence to be able to find
my own voice and my truth
and at the end of the darkness
I don't feel alone, I know you're with me
today I'm going to rise and not get disheartened
over what I wanted to do and wasn't able to
I'm not going to accept it today, I'm going to try to do better
life has a solution, there's nothing impossible here
I don't believe in never...no! (x2)
If giving up is a way of dying
then I'm never going to give in to death
I think of my family, the heart beats stronger
for one cannot live wondering when one will die
and they say that to dream is as much as dreaming of being alive
I believe in the present and that keeps me away from death
and I need silence to find
today I will rise and I won't get disheartened
I won't accept it today, I'm going to try to do better
life has a solution, there is nothing impossible here
