En ésta ocasión, nos divertiremos un poco con 3 canciones que hablan sobre el aprendizaje del inglés.
1.- Aprendiendo Inglés - Nosequién Y Los Nosecuantos
Se trata de un grupo peruano. Ellos no sólo hicieron POP, sino que se atrevieron con diversos ritmos, incluso con ritmos típicos del Perú. Su letra, algo irreverente pero que también tenía mucho que ver con la realidad de aquellos días (80's), cautivó no sólo a peruanos sino también a latinoamericanos.
A) Letra
Hoy día es para mí una fecha importante
Voy a tener mi primera clase de inglés
Tan sólo quiero aprender unas cuantas frases
"¿Cómo te llamas?", "Hamburguesas" y "¿Qué hora es?"
Ya nadie notará que soy latino
Con este frasco de tinte rubio seré
Y viviré en La Florida como cualquier vecino
Pero antes debo practicar un poco mi inglés
One, two three
one, two, three
Four, five, six
four, five, six
Pluto, Mickey Mouse
Batman, Robin y Burquer King
El viernes 10 tengo que ir a la embajada
Ya le he rezado a la Virgen y a San Martín
Porque sin visa, hablar inglés no me sirve de nada
Y al verme rubio mis amigos se pueden reir
He preparado 10 respuestas para la aduana
Cuando los guardias me pregunten "¿Qué busco allí?"
Diré que vengo a ver a Gloria Estefan
Que da un concierto con Miami Sound Machine
Quiero tener mi visa
quiero tener mi visa
I wanna get my visa
I wanna get my visa
Wisconsin, Dallas, Paterson, Miami Beach
Baby don't forget my number .....
Cuando regrese a mi país, tras varios años
Una cadena de oro colgará de mí
En pleno invierno llegaré con mocasines blancos
Y haré notar hablando inglés, que ya no soy de aquí
What is your name?
What is your name?
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
2.- Hey Mr. Waiter - Emilio Aragón
Este artista y empresario, hijo de MILIKI, también creó algunas canciones en tono humorístico. Una de ellas es ésta.
A) Letra
Me fuí a Londres a estudiar el inglés
"Espík in ínglish" me hace falta pa' comer
Pedí "Chis burguer" y me dieron pescao
Tengo que estudiar porque estoy medio "esbabeao"
CORO
Le dije al camarero
Hey mister güeiter, ái uán tu it
Ai uán tu it potéito an toméito an chís
Hey mister güeiter, ái uán tu it
Ai uán tu it potéito an toméito an chís
Chekeráu!
Me gusta "espík in inglish" porque suena "veri náis"
Se escribe "Lady Di", que suena "léidi dái"
Todo esto es tan extraño que te puede ocurrir
Que escribas "Shakespeare" y que suene "Shéikspir"
(Repetir CORO)
Fuí por Piccadilly y por Carnaby Street
Buscando un restaurante porque "Sir ái uán tu it"
Pescado con patatas, aquí son "Fish and chips"
Prefiero una tortilla con un vino del país
(Repetir CORO)
3.- On The Desk - Toreros Muertos
Los Toreros Muertos es un grupo de música POP, ROCK y WAVE liderado por el artista español Pablo Carbonell. En sus inicios, contaron con gran aceptación, tanto dentro como fuera de España. Su letra trata temas de una forma irreverente e hilarante en algunos casos.
En concreto, el siguiente tema no tiene significado alguno. Se trata de frases que aprendemos de los libros del colegio o escuela.
A) Letra
My pencil and my book is in the desk (are)
My pencil and my book are in the desk (on)
My pencil and my book are on the desk (that's right man!)
My pencil and my book are on the desk, that's right man.
My tailor is rich and my mother's in the kitchen
My tailor is rich and my mother's in the kitch
Every children play football in the camp
Everybody play football in the camp
And I pray to my dog because I want to fuck
All the girls everyday, everywhere, everybody
My tailor is rich and my mother's in the kitchen
My tailor is rich and my mother's in the kitchen
I am, you are, he is, she is, it is,
we are, you are, they are
Well, (well) very well Manuel
Pretty kitty like the milk (likes milk)
Pretty kitty likes milk
Big dog likes kitty pretty
The pupil is little, the teacher is tall (tal y cual)
My tailor is rich and my mother's in the kitchen
My tailor is rich and my mother's on the kitchen
On the desk, on the desk ....
Hello, my name is Mary Wilson,
I am 24 years old
I don't remember where is Meridian Street
And I like to sing in spring
On the desk, on the desk ....
