I found this great song by Shakira in Spanish, and personnally, i believe that it is better in english rather than Spanish.

Enjoy:)

Actividad Tres

My third activity was a song. I searched the web for a very long time looking for a good song. I finally found this classic which I used to listen a lot to when I was young. This classical song best known version was created by a group called Los Lobos. This means 'The Wolves' in English. This is a Mexican-American band, and is famous all around the world.

This song, is La Bamba. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_SS-TyXhhU


Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ

Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan

Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mà para tà y arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ, por tà serÃ

Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba
Bamba bamba


This song was, however, originally created by Richie Valens.

This was the lyrics and a translation of the original song.

Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia para mi para ti
Arriba y arriba
Arriba y arriba
Por ti seré
Por ti seré
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitán
Soy capitán
Soy capitán

My La Bamba translation into English

In order to dance the Bamba
In order to dance the Bamba
A little humor is needed
A little humor for me and for you
Faster and faster
Faster and faster
I'll be for you
I'll be for you
I'm not a sailor
I'm not a sailor
I'm captain
I'm captain
I'm captain

I liked this song a lot, and brought back many memories when I heard it again today on the radio.

Spanish TV & Spanish Scrabble

I wanted to see some Spanish television for myself, so I found this show called 'Hermanos y Dectecives'. It is a popular show that originated from Argentina, and follows the life of a detective to is surprised to find that he has a brother, a child prodigy with a 200 IQ. His brilliance helps him solve a number of strange cases, and I watched the second in a chapter of 10. In this case, Franco is given a case to solve, however he is not smart nor is he capable to lead a team. In this episode, a jewellery store mysteriously cought fire, and however the only person who died was the security guard. He turns out to be a person from an asylum who was put up to the crime by the asylum itself along with an accomplice who wanted to rob the jewellery store.
En Espanol:
A Franco le dan un caso para resolver. Franco no es una persona muy inteligente y mucho menos capacitada para dirigir. Lorenzo y Mansilla serán de gran ayuda para el desprotegido policía. Una joyería se incendia misteriosamente. El único muerto es el guardia de seguridad del edificio. Este "guardia de seguridad" resulta ser una persona en mal estado, a quién dan de alta en el manicomio para involucrar en el crimen. El verdadero crimen lo cometen una responsable del manicomio y un cómplice. Quieren robar una joya.

Also, the past month i've tried playing Spanish Scrabble. (A family friend of ours are Mexican, and had the game) It was interesting to learn how to spell, and it was surprisingly a fun way to learn the Spanish language.
