Sofia (Bulgarian: София, pronounced [ˈsɔfijɐ] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria and the 15th largest city in the European Union with a population of 1.2 million people. It is located in western Bulgaria, at the foot of Mount Vitosha and approximately at the centre of the Balkan Peninsula.
Prehistoric settlements were excavated in the centre of the present city, near the royal palace, as well as in outer districts Slatina and Obelya. The well-preserved town walls (especially their substructures) date back before the 7th century BC, when Thracians established their city around a mineral spring, which exists to the present day. Sofia has had several names in the different periods of its existence. Its ancient name, Serdika or Serdica, derives from the local Celtic tribe of the serdi who inhabited the region since the 1st century BC. Serdica was a Roman capital during the tetrarchic system of government. During the Middle Ages, it was one of the major commercial centres of the Bulgarian Empire, along with Tarnovo. Sofia's population remained small until 1879, when it was declared a capital of the Principality of Bulgaria after the Liberation of Bulgaria from Ottoman rule.
Jason Statham ( /ˈsteɪθəm/; born 12 September 1967) is an English actor and former diver, known for his roles in the Guy Ritchie crime films Revolver, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Statham appeared in supporting roles in several American films, such as The Italian Job, as well as playing the lead role in The Transporter, Death Race, Crank, The Bank Job and War (opposite martial arts star Jet Li). Statham also appeared alongside established action film actors Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren in The Expendables. He usually performs his own fight scenes and stunts.
Statham was born in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, the son of Eileen (née Yates) and Barry Statham, a lounge singer. He moved to Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where he chose not to follow his father's career working the local market stalls, and decided to pursue the arts. He grew up with football player Vinnie Jones, alongside whom he would later go on to act. Jones introduced him to football, and Statham went on to play for the local grammar school (1978–83), which he had attended since the age of eleven, but his real passion was diving.[citation needed] He practised daily in perfecting his diving techniques – in particular, he finished 12th in the World Championships in 1992. He was also a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for twelve years.
Felicity Rose Hadley Jones (born 17 October 1983) is an English actress from Birmingham. She is best known to television audiences for her role as the school bully Ethel Hallow in the first series of The Worst Witch (she was replaced by Katie Allen for series two and three) and its sequel Weirdsister College. Jones also co-starred in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's feature Cemetery Junction. She starred opposite Anton Yelchin in the 2011 drama Like Crazy.
Jones grew up in Bournville, Birmingham. Her parents met while working at the Wolverhampton Express and Star. Her father was a journalist while her mother was in advertising. They divorced when she was three, and she was brought up with her brother by her mother alone. Despite this, she says her family is "extremely close."
After Kings Norton Girls' School, Jones attended King Edward VI Handsworth School, to complete A Levels and went on to take a gap year (during which she appeared in the BBC series Servants). She then read English at Wadham College, Oxford, graduating with a 2:1 in 2006. Whilst studying English, she appeared in student plays, including Attis in which she played the title role, and, in 2005, Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors for the OUDS summer tour to Japan, starring alongside Harry Lloyd.

I fell in love with a beautiful Puerto Rican girl and her name was Sofia
I met her in San Juan and I knew she had be the one, mi nina bonita
thought everything was fine when I looked into her Spanish eyes, how was I to know
that she wasn't really mine, in her eyes, there was another guy that gave her amor.
she couldn't see, that my love was all she'll ever need
that in my heart she's the air I breath
I feel her all over my body.
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Sofia, and she's driving me crazy
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Oh mi nina bonita
Sofia, and I know someday she's coming back to stay
I can see her every night in my mind as I fantasize that she's still with me
but I can't deny everytime the sun rises and I open up my eyes, I feel so lonely
thought everything was fine when I looked into her Spanish eyes, how was I to know
that she wasn't really mine, in her eyes, there was another guy that gave her amor.
she couldn't see, that my love was all she'll ever need
that in my heart she's the air I breath
I feel her all over my body.
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Sofia, and she's driving me crazy
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Oh mi nina bonita
Sofia, and I know someday she's coming back to stay
There is no master plan
There is no hologram for you
And now I understand
There's nothing else that I would do
Outside your seven walls
There is no peace at all
Sofia, I couldn't stay
Sofia, I go my way
Now all is said and done
You were the only one for me
Inside the picture frame
There is no one to blame you see
So much we had to give
Now I don't wanna live
Sofia, I couldn't stay
Sofia, I go my way
Sofia, the rain will fall
Sofia, after it all
Sofia, I couldn't stay
Sofia, I go my way
Sofia, oh, the rain will fall
Sofia, after it all
Sofia, I really, really, really
Really couldn't stay
Sofia, the rain, the rain
Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow
She kinda passes by like she don't feel it
No, momma, she don't feel it
One of these days I'm gonna dive into her waves
And bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man, that women ruled the world
But the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper, knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow's a spider
The black widow's a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin' day
Won't take one minute till you're curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
On me like rain
Fall down
Fall down
Fall down
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain't ever
I'll never be the same, baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
If I should leave and never return
Lite a candle and let it burn
'Cause light transcends time
And when it's raining on the avenue
A wind will blow me back to you
This time it's for real
Come home, Sofia
If you see a light just off the road
A line of footsteps in the snow
Don't stop, you're almost home
Knock three times and ring the bell
You'll hear a voice you knew so well
It takes you from the cold
Come home, Sofia
She's floating up to outer space
And this time it's for real
When I look back it comes to me
Love is a symphony and
