Let it snow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY8NNBVmoaM
Me apetecen las canciones navideñas. Let it snow es una canción que ha sido versionada por muchísimos cantantes pero esta de Dean Martín es mi preferida.
Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we´ve no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
It doesn´t show signs of stopping
And I´ve bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snooooow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I´ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you´ll really hold me tight
All the way home I´ll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we´re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! And snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I´ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you´ll really grab me tight
All the way home I´ll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we´re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow...!

White Christmas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGzbbO05WVk
... Y en estas fechas ... ambiente navideño, familiar, entrañable ... villancicos.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

little talks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I&feature=player_embedded
Este vídeo me lo regaló mi amiga Elena hace unos días y me gustó mucho. A ella le dedico esta entrada. Esta canción es de un grupo que se llama "Of Monsters and Men". Son islandeses. Para mí han sido todo un descubrimiento porque me encanta esta canción y he podido comprobar en YouTube en directo casi son mejores.
I don't like walking around this old then empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk through my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be all over,
And buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away
I wish you'd disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, I mean against you
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I see you when I fall asleep
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Call me maybe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWAdb1vgoik
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Esta semana, aunque empiecen los fríos, toca una canción fresquita. He incluído dos enlaces. El del vídeo con la letra y el oficial, que me parece un vídeo divertido. La próxima semana será una canción menos comercial y conocida.
I threw i whish in the well
Don’t ask me, i’ll never tell
I Looked to you as it fell,
And now you’re in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn’t looking for this,
But now you’re in my way
Your stare was holdin
Ripped jeans, skin was showin
Hot night, wind was blowin
Where you think you’re going baby?
Hey, i just met you and thi is crazy
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
It’s hard to look right at you baby
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
Hey, i just met you and thi is crazy
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
You took your time with the call
I took no time whit the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But stille, you’re in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it’s real
I didn’t know i would feel it
But is’t in my way
Your stare was holdin
Ripped jeans, skin was showin
Hot night, wind was blowin
Where you think you’re going baby?
Hey, i just met you and this is crazy
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
It’s hard to look right at you baby
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
Hey, i just met you and thi is crazy
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so, bad
I missed you so, bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so, bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It’s hard to look right at you baby
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
Hey, i just met you and this is crazy
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here’s my number so call me, maybe
Before you came into my life
I missed you so, bad
I missed you so, bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so, bad
And you should know that
SO CALL ME,

Endless Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHFqzyBuP_o
Este ha sido un fin de semana muy especial. Ayer fuimos a montar en auto-giro (menuda experiencia) y hoy hemos estado viendo cómo se está recuperando el monte quemado hace unos años en Guadalajara. En el coche hemos ido oyendo una selección de canciones de la Motown y me he visto obligada a elegir una de ellas para aprendera esta semana. Tenía otras candidatas pero han quedado para la próxima.
My love,
there's only you in my life
the only thing that's bright
My first love,
you're every breath that i take
you're every step i make
And i
(i-i-i-i-i)
i want to share
all my love with you
no one else will do...
And your eyes
your eyes, your eyes
they tell me how much you care
ooh yes, you will always be
my endless love
Two hearts,
two hearts that beat as one
our lives have just begun
Forever
(ohhhhhh)
i'll hold you close in my arms
i can't resist your charms
And love
oh, love
i'll be a fool
for you,
i'm sure
you know i don't mind
oh, you know i don't mind
'cause you,
you mean the world to me
oh
i know
i know
i've found in you
my endless love
Oooh-woow
boom, boom
boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Oooh, and love
oh, love
i'll be that fool
for you,
i'm sure
you know i don't mind
oh you know-
i don't mind
And, yes
you'll be the only one
'cause no one can deny
this love i have inside
and i'll give it all to you
my love
my love, my love
my endless love

Your song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydPaDCG1z34
¡Qué canción más romántica! ¿qué puedes decir a alguien a quien quieres más bonito que esto?: "How wonderful life is while you're in the world"
Esta canción es de Elton John (en el vídeo que he elegido aparece él cantando, nada menos que en 1970). La interpretan Nicole Kidman y Ewan Mcgregor en "Moulin Rouge" (2005) y hacen una versión muy bonita.
Estos últimos dos meses la estoy recordando con frecuencia porque es la música del track 9 de la coreografía 58 de Bodybalance.

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world"
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world"
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Price Tag
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejn_73XubS8
Después de un día de duro trabajo a pesar de ser domingo, esta canción pone las pilas estupendamente.
Price tag, de Jessie J. Me gusta esta canción y hasta hace un par de días, no sé por qué yo creía que era de Katy Parry.
Puede ser un poquito más difícil de memorizar pero es una canción optimista y merece que le dediquemos un ratito, pasemoslo bien y olvidémonos del precio que marca la etiqueta.

White Flag
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGoEnwN8aos
¿Qué tal habáies pasado el puente? Yo genial. No hay nada mejor que pasar unos días con buenos amigos, conociendo sitios nuevos, comiendo y bebiendo cosas ricas, bailando y riendo mucho. Lo que me apetece ahora después del viaje de vuelta es poder descansar y esta canción tiene una melodía muy apropiada para relajarse.
La escribió DIDO en 2003 y trata de su ruptura el año anterior con su novio, con el que estaba comprometida.
Do you think the singer left her partner or her partner left the singer?
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Wake me up when september ends
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io5HclAtnJY
Pues esta semana había pensado en una canción de mi queridísimo Bruce Springsteen pero al fijarme en la letra escrita me ha parecido bastante difícil así que vamos a esperar un poco.
Esta canción de Green Day, aunque yo creo que es triste, me ha parecido muy adecuada para esta semana porque es bastante fácil, bien vocalizada y teniendo una semana cortita y en la podemos irnos de puente y esas cosas esta canción está bien.
Os dejo también el enlace del vídeo oficial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU9JoFKlaZ0
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

True blue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ9SPAQ7jUU
Esta es una canción escrita e interpretada por Madonna para su tercer album en 1986, y además es una canción muy apropiada para repasar algunos pasados de los verbos.
Look de verbs. Are they regular or irregular? What's the past simple and de past participle of the irregular ones?
I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's
Chorus:
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you
I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said
chorus twice
Intermediate:
No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
(repeat)
True, so if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said
intermediate
chorus
'Cause it's
True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's

One
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEGSYDA6Go
Esta semana, atendiendo la petición de mi primera seguidora, aunque todavía no haya constancia de ello, yo lo sé, ;) ... vamos a aprendernos esta canción de U2. Grandes en directo este grupo. Creo que es una canción más fácil que la de la semana pasada a pesar de durar más de cuatro minutos.
IS IT GETTING BETTER
OR DO YOU FEEL THE SAME
WILL IT MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU
NOW YOU GOT SOMEONE TO BLAME
YOU SAY
ONE LOVE
ONE LIFE
WHEN IT´S ONE NEED
IN THE NIGHT
IT´S ONE LOVE
WE GET TO SHARE IT
IT LEAVES YOU BABY
IF YOU DON´T CARE FOR IT
DID I DISAPPOINT YOU?
OR LEAVE A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH?
YOU ACT LIKE YOU NEVER HAD LOVE
AND YOU WANT ME TO GO WITHOUT
WELL IT´S TOO LATE
TONIGHT
TO DRAG THA PAST OUT
INTO THE LIGHT
WE´RE ONE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE GET TO CARRY EACH OTHER
CARRY EACH OTHER
ONE
HAVE YOU COME HERE FOR FORGIVENESS
HAVE YOU COME TOR RAISE THE DEAD
HAVEW YOU COME HERE TO PLAY JESUS
TO THE LEPERS IN YOUR HEAD
DID I ASK TOO MUCH
MORE THAN A LOT
YOU GAVE ME NOTHING
NOW IT´S ALL I GOT
WE´RE ONE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE HURT EACH OTHER
THEN WE DO IT AGAIN
YOU SAY
LOVE IS A TEMPLE
LOVE A HIGHER LAW
LOVE IS A TEMPLE
LOVE THE HIGHER LAW
YOU ASK ME TO ENTER
BUT THEN YOU MAKE ME CRAWL
AND I CAN´T BE HOLDING ON
TO WHAT YOU GOT
WHEN ALL YOU GOT IS HURT
ONE LOVE
ONE BLOOD
ONE LIFE
YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU SHOULD
ONE LIFE
WITH EACH OTHER
SISTERS
BROTHERS
ONE LIFE
BUT WE´RE NOT THE SAME
WE GET TO CARRY EACH OTHER
CARRY EACH OTHER
ONE
ONE

Somebody That I Used to Know
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne5CFz0cSAo
La canción de esta semana es muy actual, se oye en la radio casi todos los días, y los que hacemos Body Balance la tenemos en el track 4 de la coreografía 58. A mi me encanta. Creo que va a resultar un pelín difícil aprenderla ¡no sé, me da la sensación! así que hay que tomarla con ganas. Let's go!
La canción de esta semana es muy actual, se oye en la radio casi todos los días, y los que hacemos Body Balance la tenemos en el track 4 de la coreografía 58. A mi me encanta. Creo que va a resultar un pelín difícil aprenderla ¡no sé, me da la sensación! así que hay que tomarla con ganas. Let's go!
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So, when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way, reading into every
word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to
know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody, I used to know
Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

Sweet Home Alabama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cyokaj3BJU
Es una canción que me encanta. De las que transmiten buen royo. Es muy hippy y desde que vi Forrest Gump no lo puedo remediar pero me recuerda la escena en la que la están bailando él, su chica y su hijo.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the South land
I miss ole 'Bamy once again, and I think it's a sin, yeah
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor, hoo hoo hoo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth
(Estribillo)
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two,yes they do
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you
(Dos veces. Estribillo)

Imagine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMl-y9Qmm1U
Pues sí, vamos a imaginar un mundo mejor. Es el momento de visualizarlo porque tener objetivos es el primer paso para poder llegar a cumplirlos.
Esta semana nuestra canción es un clásico. Una canción optimista del bueno de John Lennon. Tal vez sea demasiado fácil, pero merece que le dediquemos una semana.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Someone Like You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5w5v6jzU0Y
¿Nos sabemos la primera canción, la de la semana pasada? Seguro que sí. Era cortita y la conocemos muy bien y desde hace mucho tiempo.
La canción de esta semana es más actual. Ha estado de moda el año pasado y nos la han puesto miles de veces en todas las emisoras de radio. Ha sido una de esas canciones que te parecen preciosas pero que llega un momento que te han saturado. Vamos a aprovechar que la hemos oído tanto y vamos a aprendernos la letra.
El vídeo tiene un presentador que le hace una introducción, lo siento, pero es que éste tiene letra en inglés y su traducción es español, por si teníamos alguna duda.
¡A trabajar!
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.

You can leave your hat on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuSRzIawogU
Repasar inglés es siempre conveniente y una forma divertida es ésta. Vamos a prender la letra de una canción en inglés cada semana, lógicamente entendiendola completamente. Así repasaremos la pronunciación y la síntaxis. Además memorizaremos muy fácilmente el vocabulario.
Podemos empezar con "You can leave your hat on", que aunque nos suba un poco de más la temperatura, pero para empezar no está mal ya que la conocemos muy bien y es cortita. La de la próxima semana no tendrá tanto contenido erótico.
Aquí va:
Baby take off your coat
Real slow
'N take off your shoes
I'll take off that shoes
Baby take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go over there, turn on the lights
All the lights,
Come over here, stand on this chair
Yes, that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
Now shake 'em
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
Baby!..
You can leave your hat on
Sax Solo :
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)
Suspicious minds are talkin'
They're tryin' to tear us apart
They don't believe in this love of mine
But they don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
But I know what love is!
There ain't no way
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
Sweet woman...
