Mother Russia badly burned
Your children lick your wounds, your wounds

Pilgrim father sailed away
Found a brave new world, new world

Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
I feel it, soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Soothe it, soothe it, soothe my feeling, now I feel it
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Ooh, just like I hope the people say, soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
I feel it, hold me, take a look at my chance
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Take a look at my mercy, take a look at my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse...

Tears for Fears are an English pop band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.

The group rose to fame in 1982 with single “Mad World”, which made it to number 3 in the UK charts and paved the way for the huge success of debut album The Hurting, released in 1983. However, it wasn’t until Songs from the Big Chair in 1985, a change in musical direction towards pop, that the band made it internationally. The record proved to be hit, reaching #2 in the UK and #1 in the US charts, and contains their most well-known singles, “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. Third album The Seeds of Love, released in 1989, performed similarly, entering the UK Albums charts at #1.

In 1991, the band broke up. Curt Smith went on as a solo artist while Roland Orzabal continued as Tears for Fears, releasing Elemental in 1993 to much success in the UK (though significantly less in the US) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain in 1995, which did poorly in the charts, only reaching #41 in the UK but with some acclaim in continental Europe. In 2000, Curt and Roland reunited and recorded what became Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, released in 2004 to positive reviews and moderate success. The band currently continues to tour.
