| Hey, this is Stevie
| Hola, este es Stevie.
|
| I was blessed to be raised in the west side of Detroit
| Tuve la bendición de haberme criado en el lado oeste de Detroit
|
| I lived on Breckinridge, that was the first home that we lived in
| Viví en Breckinridge, esa fue la primera casa en la que vivimos
|
| My neighborhood where I was raised up
| Mi barrio donde me crié
|
| When the girls came along
| Cuando llegaron las chicas
|
| I would sing on the front porch beating on the stairs
| Cantaba en el porche golpeando las escaleras
|
| And singing for hours and hours upon hours
| Y cantando durante horas y horas y horas
|
| Seeing a piano for the first time, but the amazing thing as well is through
| Ver un piano por primera vez, pero lo asombroso también es a través de
|
| those experiences
| esas experiencias
|
| I was able to understand how my being blind because my mother allowed me to be
| Pude entender cómo mi ser ciego porque mi madre me permitió ser
|
| free
| gratis
|
| Didn’t mean that I had to be blind to the world
| No significaba que tenía que estar ciego al mundo
|
| I may have had a visual disability but did not stop my vision inside me
| Pude haber tenido una discapacidad visual pero no detuvo mi visión dentro de mí
|
| I didn’t know what it was like being poor because God had made me rich
| No sabía lo que era ser pobre porque Dios me había hecho rico
|
| Even before I was born
| Incluso antes de que yo naciera
|
| Rich was the spirit of knowing that anything you imagined
| Rico era el espíritu de saber que todo lo que imaginabas
|
| That’s for the good is possible to be a reality
| Eso es para bien es posible que sea una realidad
|
| Because a few weeks before I was discovered I had a dream
| Porque unas semanas antes de que me descubrieran tuve un sueño
|
| That I heard my music, my record on the radio
| Que escuché mi música, mi disco en la radio
|
| I had nothing out, no one knew who I was, and, umm, amazing it really happened
| No tenía nada, nadie sabía quién era yo, y, umm, increíble, realmente sucedió.
|
| And so you know it’s, I can say to other young people as I said to my son Kiland
| Y para que lo sepas, puedo decirle a otros jóvenes como le dije a mi hijo Kiland
|
| I said listen, what you don’t understand is that
| Dije escucha, lo que no entiendes es que
|
| God gave you a brand even before you were born
| Dios te dio una marca incluso antes de que nacieras
|
| All you had to do in life is walk into it | Todo lo que tenías que hacer en la vida es entrar en ella |
