Find words related to M A U D L I N

The idea is to find words related to the word –

M A U D L I N (sustantivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

It was a maudlin lyric about a girl who wanted to buy her boyfriend a dog to remember her by.

Era una lírica sentimental sobre una chica que quería comprarle a su novio un perro para que la recuerde.

Boots & Paws

This link might help you find some ideas. (Scroll down for most of the synonyms and antonym)

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English smile?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me .wink

This was the previous challenge.

There's a game show on British TV called 'University Challenge' which is a little unfair, in my opinion, because Oxbridge may enter a team for every college whereas the other unis may enter only one each. Anyway, the team for Magdalen College (Oxford) make me smile, because Magdalen is pronounced maudlin, and their faces always look very maudlin.

Hay un programa concurso en la televisión britanico que se llama 'University Challenge' (Desafío de las Universidades) que es bastante injusto, a mi opinión, porque las Universidades de Oxford y Cambridge se permiten entrar un equipo por cada colegio mientras que los otras universidades sólo puede entrar uno. En todo caso, el equipo para Magdalen College (Oxford) me hace sonreír, porque Magdalen suena como 'maudlin', y seguro que sí, sus rostros siempre parecen muy tristes.

May be he is a sentimental wolf, but all the same you can find on his list to eat the three little pigs, the Little Red Riding Hood and some goat with his kids.

Puede ser es un lobo sentimental, pero a pesar de todo podemos encontrar en su lista para comer los tres pequeños cerdos, la Pequeña Caperucita Roja y alguna cabra con sus cabritos.

This post is for you Ranman

“You Are My Sunshine”: How a maudlin song became a children’s classic

“You Are My Sunshine” may in fact be the most ubiquitous piece of music of the 20th century, second only to “Happy Birthday” and “Shave and a Haircut.” Its popularity never wanes with passing generations. Instead, it continually reappears in various contexts: as a campfire singalong, as a sweet lullaby from a parent to a child, in commercials for French’s mustard or children’s Tylenol. Seventy-five years after its debut, children’s performers still record the song. It’s the centerpiece of Elizabeth Mitchell’s 2002 album “You Are My Sunshine,” and former 98° singer Nick Lachey included a solemn cover on his new children’s album “A Father’s Lullaby.” It’s been punkified (Stine J), polkafied (Frank Yankovic), disco’ed (Domino Dancing), diva’ed (Aretha Franklin), and even slow-jammed (Mtume). Ike & Tina Turner recorded a particularly badass version; Brian Wilson peppered the Beach Boys’ long-lost “SMiLE!” with a few bars; and later in his life, Johnny Cash gave it a distinctively maudlin interpretation.
