Sweet Home Alabama

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

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

¿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

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...
