Lyrics
Woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh 

Play the lotto you might win it.                                        (juga a la loteria, la guanyaràs)
Its like 25 for life so you nut out of prison                    
Somethings in the air, somethings in the air               (hi ha alguna cosa a l'aire)
It's like that feeling when you just about to kill it (és com la sensació de quan estàs a punt d'acabar amb tot)
Take your last shot you know you're gonna hit it        (té el teu últim tir, saps que encertaràs)
Somethings in the air, somethings in the air                  (hi ha alguna cosa a l'aire)
Woah oh oh oh oh

Something big I feel it happening                                        (alguna cosa gran està passant)
Out of my control                                                                        (fora del meu control)
Push and pull and then its grabbing me                            (empeny i estiro i m'agafa)
Feel it in my bones like                                                              (ho noto com als ossos)

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big

It's like that feeling when you bout to win the medal  (és aquella sensació com quan estàs a punt de guanar)
And you worked so hard that you knew you wouldn't settle (vas treballar molt fort, i no sabies si ho aconseguiries)
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air                                  (mans a l'aire)
When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen(quan ells t'escoltaven tu pensaves que no et sentirien)
It's like an anthem that the whole worlds singing         ( és com un himne que tothom esta cantant)
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air
Woah oh oh oh oh

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Push and pull and then its grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like 

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big

Woah, yeah, yeah

If we stomp our feet,                                               (si trepitjem fort)
The ground will shake                                             (el terra es mourà)
If we clap pure hands,                                             (si aplaudim)
The walls will break                                                 (les parets es trencran)
Yell so loud we forget our names                       (si cridem fort, oblidarem els nostes noms)
Cause something big is happening                    (perquè alguna cosa gran està passant)

Take this rock and start a fire                              (agafa aquesta pedra i fés un incendi)
Raise this up were feeling high                            (aixeca això,així ens senim amunt)  
They can't tell us anything                                     (ells no poden dir-nos res)
Cause something big is happening                     (peruqè alguna cosa gran està passant)

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Push and pull and then its grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like 

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening, woah

Oh, woah, oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening, oh
Comment
I like this song because it motivates me. When I'm sad I play this song and feel better. It haves rhythm and melody. The letter of the song explains a feeling about a person. This feeling is good, because everything goes well. This song is for all the times. I listened it for the first time while search information of th singer . And now I like so much the author and his music. One thing  I love about Shawn is that is a singer-songwriter. He has composed her own songs. But also I love a lot other songs like  : The Weight, Show you, Never be alone...
In the video we can see Shawn with other people.

NEWS-Elephant meets tourists

Summary:
In a National park in Thailand had an accident. An angry elephant destroyed a car, and it trt to sit on one of the cars. The couple who where inside the car, were unharmed. All the people that  stayed in the National park took precaution. Finally the Park officials imposed a drive restriction for the security of the people. Because the elephants are in mating season.
Difficult words:
Go on a rampage: to get angry or excited (enfadar-se)
Bumper: a part of the car in front and back that protacts the car(
Roaming: to walk/move ( passejar-se)
My opinion:
I think we should respect the elephants because it is a wild animal and is normal the behavior. But I think that the park officials have taken precautions before this accident. The security of the people are the priority and the comfort of the animals too.
