Teacher, I´ll try to do both translations next week ;)

BE dijo...

Well done Alex!! I see you have had no problems to understand the lyrics. Now when you have time try to do the translations as a further practice.

I have already corrected your voicethread. It is quite good, it was a difficult topic but you have developed it quite well. You have a good introduction and a good conclusion and the main ideas are quite clear. There are some vocabulary mistakes though and sometimes lack of cohesion between subjects and verbs (singular /plural), but on the whole it is good.

Mr. Brightside

Coming out of my CAGE

And I've been doing just fine. Gotta gotta be down. Because I want it all. It started out with a KISS

How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss. It was only a kiss. Now I'm falling ASLEEP

And she's calling a CAB

While he's having a SMOKE

And she's taking a DRAG

Now they're going to bed. And my stomach is sick. And it's all in my head. But she's touching his CHEST now


He takes off her dress now. Letting me go. And I just can't look it's killing me. And taking control. JEALOUSY

Turning saints into the sea. Swimming through sick LULLABIES


Choking on your ALIBIS

But it's just the price I pay. DESTINY
is calling me. Open up my eager eyes. Cause I'm Mr. Brightside (REPEAT ALL)




Blowing In The Wind

HOW MANY ROADS must a man walk down


before you call him a MAN?


HOW MANY SEAS must a white dove sail


before she sleeps IN THE SAND?


HOW MANY TIMES must the cannonballs fly



before they're forever BANNED?


CHORUS: The answer, my friend, is BLOWING IN THE WIND. The answer is BLOWING IN THE WIND


HOW MANY YEARS can a mountain exist


before it's washed TO THE SEA?


HOW MANY YEARS can some people exist

before they're allowed TO BE FREE?



HOW MANY TIMES can a man turn his head


and pretend that he just doesn't SEE?

CHORUS: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.


HOW MANY TIMES must a man look up


before he could see THE SKY?



HOW MANY EARS must one man have


before he can hear people CRY?



and HOW MANY DEATHS will it take 'til he knows



that too many people HAVE DIED?



CHORUS: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Mr. Brightside -The Killers

Coming out of cage
And I've been doing just fine.
Gotta gotta be down.
Because I want it all. It started out with a kiss.
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss.
It was only a kiss.
Now I'm falling
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed.
And my stomach is sick.
And it's all in my head.
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now.
Letting me go.
And I just can't look it's killing me.
And taking control jealousy
Turning saints into the sea.
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay.
Destiny is calling me.
Open up my eager eyes.
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside (REPEAT ALL)

Blowing the wind -Alanis Morrisette

before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannonballs fly
before they're forever banned?
CHORUS: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist

How many years can some people exist
before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
and pretend that he just doesn't see?
CHORUS: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind must How many times a man look up
before he could see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry?
and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
that too many people have died?

Here your are both translations, the words that are in quotes, are which I didn´t know, and the lines that has questions marks, are wich I am not sure that are fine!
Mr Brightside:
Estoy saliendo de mi "jaula"
Y yo estoy haciendolo muy bien
Consiguiendo estar abajo
Porque lo quiero todo.
Eso empezó con un beso
Como terminó asi?
sólo fue un beso,solo fue un beso
Ahora, me estoy quedando dormido
Y ella esta llamando a un "taxi"
mientras el esta fumand¿?
Y ella esta dando una calada¿?
Ahora estan llendo a la cama
Y mi estomago esta enfermo
Y todo esta en mi cabeza
Pero ella se esta tocándo su pecho
Ahora, el la desviste
Ahora, déjame ir
No puedo mirar, esta matándome
Y llevandoel control...
Celosamente, giran santos en del mar
Nadando por "arroyos" enfermos
"Asfixiándose" en tus coartadas
Pero es sólo el precio que yo pago
El destino esta llamándome
Abriendo mis "impacientes" ojos
Porque soy el mr "lado positivo"?
(bis)
Yo nunca...
(bis)

Blowing in the wind:
¿Cuántos caminos debe recorrer un hombre
antes de que le llames hombre?
Sí, ¿cuántos mares debe "surcar" una paloma blanca
antes de que duerma en la arena?
Sí, ¿cuántas veces deben las balas del "cañón" volar
antes de que sean prohibidas para siempre?
La respuesta, amigo mío, está flotando en el viento,
la respuesta está flotando en el viento.
¿Cuántas veces debe un hombre alzar la vista
antes de poder ver el cielo?
Si, ¿cuántas orejas debe tener un hombre
antes de que pueda oír llorar a la gente?
Sí, ¿cuántas muertes se llevaran hasta que él sepa
que ya ha muerto demasiada gente?
La respuesta, amigo mío, está flotando en el viento,
la respuesta está flotando en el viento.
¿Cuántos años puede una montaña existir
antes de que sea "arrastrada" al mar?
Si, ¿y cuántos años pueden existir algunas personas
antes de que se les permita ser libres?
Sí, ¿y cuantas veces puede un hombre volver su cabeza,
fingiendo precisamente que no ve?
La respuesta, amigo mío, está flotando en el viento,
la respuesta está flotando en el viento.
