Removing the question is being somewhat disrespectful towards the people that took the time to answer your question. - 0074b507, Jun 10, 2011

Answer 1

In order for the lyrics to match the music in another language, they have to take some liberties with the translation. This is because translations don't always match up in terms of number of syllables or where the stress falls on the words.

I think the question is whether this translation "is in the ballpark"? Are these lyrics close to the song in general. I'm a beginner too, so I can't tell whether what they're singing is a good paraphrase of the Beatles or something wholly other. - JeffTerra, Jun 10, 2011

Gintar is right on, and this version of I Want to Hold Your Hand is fine, in my opinion. - Luzbonita, Jun 10, 2011

Answer 2

I removed the question as the option to remove the thread was not available.

I sent an email to a blogger for help and they were able to answer and be a great help in my quest for this song and a list of others. So I figured since my question must not have been "clear" I would remove it. I did not see anythign stating we could not remove what we created. Sorry.

I then received an email from a SpanishDict "noreply" account that said I was rude, yet I couldn't respond why I removed the question. That actually is rude of them Very sorry to break a rule, but did not see that it was one.

Answer 3

Sweet Pea

the Folk Singer

Answer 4

I'm trying to find out if "learning this cover version" is a good idea or not. Are they using accurate Spanish or just making up stuff?

I agree with you. These lyrics are very different from the original, plus they are difficult to understand. As far as the music experience is concerned, I think the song is done well, but not for your purposes.

Gintar is right. Most of the time lyrics are changed in translated music for rhyming purposes and for timing, and many times without any regard for the original context.

The worst I have ever heard was from a song in English done way back in the 60s, called "Sweet Pea," which is about a girl a guy discovers at a dance, his friends tell him her name is Sweet Pea, he dances with her later, blah, blah, blah. The song was later done in Mexico and in Spanish it talks about a guy who becomes violently ill after eating sweet peas!

Tommy Roe...my favorite was "The Folk Singer". - 0074b507, Jun 10, 2011
