The tape had all of my dad's favorite songs.

They were old songs from a long time before I was born.

In one side of the tape finished playing, we took it out, turned it over, and played the other side.

We listened to the tape and sang during so many car rides.

La cinta era un cassette, lo que se conoce como un mixtape.

Un mixtape es una colección de canciones normalmente de diferentes artistas, grabadas en una cinta

de cassette o en un CD.

Es lo que se conocería hoy como un playlist.

El papá de Prera había grabado la cinta, y la había hecho muy personalizada.

I knew every word of every song on the tape.

We called it the tape, because it was the only tape in the car.

It was the tape.

But when Prera had 12 or 13 years, he decided that he didn't want to listen to the same music that his parents did.

He bought his own CD producer, or Discman, who came with his first pair of headphones.

After I got my Discman, I could put on my headphones and listen to my own music all the time.

I remember going on a two-day road trip with my family.

I listened to my new Destiny's Child album, again and again, and looked at the window

thinking about my own teenage problems.

It didn't seem important at the time, but my dad and I never listened to the tape together again.

I didn't know that one day, the tape was going to become really important to me again.

Welcome! Welcome and welcome to Relatos en inglés.
