Pray - Justin Bieber



...And I pray

I just cant sleep tonight
Knowing that things ain't right

Its in the papers, its on the tv, its everywhere that I go
Children are crying, Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey!
Can you tell me how I can make a change?


I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
(x2)

I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight
And when I sit up, 'cause of my dinner is still on my plate
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference and its starting today

Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey!
Haven`t tell me how I can make a change


I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray, yeah, yeh...

I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and...

I pray for the broken-hearted
I pray for the life not started

I pray for all the ones not breathing
I pray for all the souls in need, I pray
Can you give 'em one today?

I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell me how to make a change?


I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
(x2)

I pray ...
(x3)

I close my eyes and pray...

Bossa Nova Baby - Elvis Presley




I said: Take it easy, baby!
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
You got my shirt tails flying all over the place
And the sweat popping out of my head


She said the: Hey, bossa nova, baby Keep on a working fun!
This ain't no time to quit

She said: Go, bossa nova, baby keep on dancing!
I'm about to have myself a fit


Bossa nova!
(x2)


I said: Hey little mama, Lets sit down!
I have a drink and dig the band
She said: Drink, you pink, Oh, fiddle-de-dink
I can dance with a drink in my hand


(Chorus)


I said: Come on, baby it's hot in here!
And its oh so cool outside
If you lend me a dollar I can buy some gas
And we can go for a little ride


(Chorus)

Check Yes Or No - George Strait






It started way back in Third Grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell

Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote


Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do

Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand

If you want to

I think this is how love goes
Check: Yes or No



Now were grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Aint much changed, I still chase Emmy Lou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together, she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

PGA - Camilo Villegas




An inside the PGA tour...

In 2004 I had a chance to play ten advancing
and some of the veterans with, really nice with me too
so it... it's feel good, and obviously feel comfortable here
it's a matter of getting my golf game in shape
and, and a little bit of adjustes to the golf courses
the rough, the plain conditions
and try to do my job the best I can...

Transbordo de EDO a Rosetta Stone

English Discoveries Online es un Curso excelente,
muy completo, interactivo, gran cantidad de herramientas,
una guía gramatical extremadamente completa

Por otra parte Rosetta Stone tiende más a lo simple y concreto:
Va a la práctica directa en una Inmersión Total
(Sin traducciones. Tu mente se volverá intuitiva
y deducirá el idioma tal como lo hiciste de niño).

Así, RS (Rosetta Stone) desarrollará en ti
las habilidades necesarias para pensar y hablar en Inglés
muy fácil y rápidamente.



Desde Enero de 2011


Los Técnicos del SENA
para graduarse
requieren ver hasta el Nivel 2 de Rosetta Stone
o haber visto
hasta el Nivel Básico 3 de English Discoveries Online.

y

Los Técnicos Profesionales y los Tecnólogos del SENA

This Time I Know It's For Real - Donna Summer



What would I have to do
to get you to notice me too?
do I stand in line?
one of a million admiring eyes

Walk a tightrope way up high
write your name across the sky


I'm going crazy just to let you know
you'd be amazed how much I love you so, baby
when I get my hands on you I won't let go
this time I know it's for real


Should I write or call your home?
shout it out with a megaphone
radio, TV news
got to find a way to get my message to you

To say I love you with a neon sign
anything to make you mine


I'm going crazy just to let you know
if I waited too long for you I might explode, oh baby
I've been around the block enough to know
that this time I know it's for real


Oh baby
this time (x4)

Oh baby
this time (x2)

Oh baby

Walk a tightrope way up high
write your name across the sky

(Chorus one)

(Chorus two)

Iko-Iko - Captain Jack

A veces las letras no tienen mucho sentido
y parecen una colcha de retazos de culturas y tradiciones orales.

Sea como sea,
es chévere cuando se vuelven fiesta :-)

Hey now! Hey now!
Hey now! Hey now!

Yo como fin-Andé' /

I-KO, I-KO
Ay - Yeah!
Hey!

My grandma and your grandma
Were sitting by the fire
My grandma told your grandma:
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

Look at my king all dressed in red
(I-KO I-KO Andé')
I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead
(Yo como fin-Andé')


(Chorus)


Singing this song with Captain Jack
Iko Iko aah-yeah - hey
Party all night, the Captain's back
Iko Iko aah-yeah -hey!

My flag boy and your flag boy
were sitting by the fire
My flag boy told your flag boy:
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

See that guy all dressed in green?
(I-KO I-KO Andé')
He's not a man, he's a loving machine
(Yo como fin-Andé')

We're Going to be Friends - White Stripes




Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
/ I can tell that we are gonna be friends /

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
/ Then safely walk to school without a sound /

Well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
/ We clean up and now it's time to learn /

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns and books and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
/ Teacher marks our height against the wall /


And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing


Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
/ ('Cause) I can tell that we are gonna be friends /

Dune Buggy - Bud Spencer


Uno de los programas que veía cuando pequeño...

:-)




Come with me for fun in my buggy
Come along let's go for the hell of it
See the faces round they're all looking
Wonder if they'd like to come for a ride


I'lI bet you anything
now she's with me
There'll be no trouble
troubles around

Bet you'll never ever get away
Never ever get away
dune buggy


See the world spin round in dune buggy
String along let's scram far out off the ground
Never felt so good she's a beauty
Bet she's a sight for your poor old eyes


I'll bet you anything
boys on their bikes
Will have some trouble
following us

Bet they never ever catch us up
Never ever catch us up
dune buggy


I feel Iike a king in my buggy
Just the crown is missing but that's alright
Come on people, come on my buggy
come and feel the power of a starry night


I'lI bet you anything
now she's with me
There'll be no trouble
troubles around

Bet you'll never ever get away
Never ever get away
dune buggy


/I feel Iike a king in my buggy
Just the crown is missing but that's alright
Come on people, come on my buggy
come and feel the power of a starry night/

Cuts Both Ways - Gloria Estefan


Hay relaciones dañinas
luego no queda otro camino
que separar los caminos...





It cuts both ways, our love is like knife
That cuts both ways
It's driven deep into my heart each time
That I realize

How it cuts both ways
Can't be together, cannot live apart
We're heading straight into a broken heart
But I can't stop


'Cause I feel too much to let you go
I'm hurting you and it's hard I know
To stay and fight for what we've got
Knowing it'll never be good enough

'Cause you and I are dangerous
We want too much and life ain't that way
Don't ask for more, you'd be a fool
Haven't we already broken every rule


It cuts both ways
we're in too deep for sorry alibis
Can't have regrets or even question why
We can't say goodbye

Because it cuts both ways
No more illusions of the love we make
No sacrifice would ever be too great
If you would just stay


(Chorus)


Cuts both ways
Our love is like a knife that cuts both ways
It's driving deep into my heart each time
I see we living the lie

And it cuts both ways
It cuts both ways
Cuts both ways
Cuts both ways

Lady (You Bring Me Up) - Commodores

Muchas gracias a todas las amigas que me han apoyado
en mi reciente Plop! amoroso, Je.

Ellas me levantan el ánimo y me dan bueno consejos ;-)

Un saludo especial a Maryi Alexandra
mi doctora corazón...





Lady
you bring me up when I'm down
Maybe
you're gonna change my life around


You came to me when I was lonely
and no one cared
You made me see that I was only
just running scared

I saw your face and something told me
you were the one
You smiled at me and now I see
my life's begun!


Lady
you brought me in from out the rain
Maybe
me life will never be the same


Once I was filled with desperation
a solitary man
You gave me hope and inspiration
like only true love can

Now I believe in what you're saying
I'm ten feet tall
This love don't need no explaining
we've got it all


(Chorus)

Swords of a thousand men - Tenpole Tudor


Las únicas batallas deben ser los deportes...

y deportes sin muertos ni heridos...







Deep in the castle and back from the wars
Back with my lady and the fire burned tall
Hoorah went the men down below
All outside was the rain and the snow

Hear their shouts, hear their roar
They've probably all had a barrel or much, much more

Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah, Yeah!
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men


We had to meet the enemy a mile away
Thunder in the air and the skies turned grey
Assembling the knights and their swords were sharp
There was a hope in our English hearts

Hear our roar, hear our sound
We're gonna fight until we have won this town

Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah, Yeah!
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men


(Instrumental)


When knights come along at the end of the day
Some were half-alive and some had run away
Hear our triumph, hear our roar
We'll probably drink a barrel or much, much more

Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah, Yeah!
Over the hill with the swords of a thousand men


Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah, Yeah!
Hoorah, Hoorah, Hoorah, Yeah - yeah!
(x4)

Sandra - Angel Canales

Gracias a Fern por solicitar esta canción
me llega en un momento justo,
pues quien fue la primera novia de mi vida
ya no me quiere.

Unos días fue super cariñosa
y hasta me decía que quería hasta tener pronto un hijo conmigo,
y a los pocos días de eso ya ni me quiere oir al teléfono.

Pero bueno, no se,
esta canción es como una catarsis a mi confusión y dolor...

;-)




Oh, my Sandra
You tell me that you are walking out from me
I ain't got nothing to say
That if you do, I won’t get by

I know
I know that I haven’t been worthy of your love
Oh, forgive me you this once
And I will make it up to you



Baby, please don’t go (Baby, please don’t go)
Oh, they say a man ain’t supposed to cry
Oh, but if you leave me, mami, I will break down and cry a million tears
Oh don’t leave me my dear

Oh, I don’t want you, I don’t want you to leave
Oh, can’t you see that I’m begging you in my knees
Oh, if you leaving me darling I won’t be able to dancing Guagancó, no no no
Ba-baby, please don’t leave me

Oh, mami, I want you to stay
Don’t leave the answer, Don’t leave the answer, mami
for another day coming out, ay que no, Ay que no, no no no
Oh mami, please don’t go



Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby don’t go!
Mira mami, si tú me dejas, me muero yo
Can’t you see that I’m begging you in my knees
I don’t want you to leave

No no no, ay que no, ay no no no, no no no no
Oh, can’t you see the track of my tears
Don’t leave me, my dear, no no
Mami mira contigo yo quiero bailar siempre el Guaguancó

Ay que no, ay que no, no no no no


/Baby, please don’t go/...


Guaganco!


Tell me now!
Don't leave the answer for another day!
