Learn with Spanish songs 1.

Question

In English.

Hello all. I'm starting this thread because I think it can help you learn Spanish. The objective is hearing the Spanish accent and translating the songs, because through listening you can learn a lot. You have to find and read the lyrics, translate them, and ask your doubts here. If you don’t understand a Spanish word in the lyrics, you ask about it here.

To start with, I've chosen one song of a popular Spanish group. It's a slow song and easy to understand. If you like this thread, I’ll post more songs and gradually increase the level of difficulty.

Please mention here whether or not you like the songs and understand the lyrics, or any other questions.......etc.

(Thanks Spanishpal for the correction jaja)

In Spanish

Hola a todos, abro este tema porque pienso que puede ayudar a toda la gente a aprender Español, el objetivo de este tema es escuchar el acento Español y traducir las canciones, porque escuchando se aprende mucho, debéis encontrar y leer las letras, traducirlas, y preguntar vuestras dudas aquí, si no entendéis alguna palabra en Español poned vuestras preguntas aquí, para este primer tema, he elegido una canción de un grupo popular español, es lenta y fácil de entender. Si os gusta el tema pondré mas canciones otro dia, y poco a poco aumentar el nivel.

Por favor comentad aquí si os gustan o no las canciones, si entendéis la letra, vuestras preguntas etc…

Gracias ^^.

Answer 1

This is an interesting adaptation of the song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, as is noted on the linked site. The Spanish version starts with what sounds to me like a Celtic melody. The lyrics are very different, though.

Answer 2

Great idea, Neox! I'll have a go later.

¡Esta idea es muy buena, tío!

Gracias tio ;) - Neox, Sep 16, 2011

Answer 3

Very nice Neox! I often use songs to learn! I heard so far the first , Pensando en tí . It was quite easy to understand.

But I don't understand what the singer means with:

necesito de tabla tu amor

Does he need a proof for her love maybe? Does he need her unconditionally love ?

No he means, i need your love for support me, i can't explain very well, you understand me? - Neox, Sep 17, 2011

Ok, I understand it now, thank you - rubia, Sep 17, 2011

Answer 4

Hola, Neox, here's a shot ot one of them . . . I'll come back and add the Spanish in the morning. . .

Calling Earth . . .

I have seen a light since Venus went out;
I have seen dying, a star in the sky of Orion; There is no sign, there is no sign of human life; and I am lost in time, lost in another dimension

(vocalizing)

I am the captain of the ship, I have the controls Calling earth hoping for an answer; I am a cowboy of the blue electric space; Two billion light years from my home I am

(vocalizing)

I would like to return, not to end (ever) this mission; I remember you, like a story of Science Fiction. I'm not so bad, I play poker with my computer; The days pass by, there's no news from the station. . .

(vocalizing)

^^ so good, is two thousand millions but its great ^^ - Neox, Sep 17, 2011
