This is much more difficult than Rafa's. The problem is that I hear all the time the spanish sentence. I keep trying, I'll be back.
You're right, Susana. Much more difficult, and the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. So you're allowed to look for the lyrics to the songs and sort out the confusion. Hint for the French sentence: the singer's pronunciation is rather poor.
I think I could discover some of the words in the Mystery songs N.1, but I don't want to fully unveil them:
Eagles show the way with a lamp.
Michael is impossible to get.
U-2 sing too late tonight, but then...I don't know.
Sade is easier: look at the title and then travel crossing the usa against the sun.
Good luck.
I have just listened to Mystery songs n.2 and I decided to study grammar instead. They're much worse than N.1.
Bye.
Too much for me! The fit of laughter and the spanish sticking in mind, no way!
It's really difficult! I only hear the spanish sentence, but I have looked for the lyrics of the song "Hotel California" from Eagles and "un chinito pescando" is actually "then she lit up a candle", funny!
In Michael Jackson's song "Billy Jean": "quieres una manzana" is "But the kid is not my son", incredible but true!.
One more: "pingüino rodriguez" is "I think we're gonna make it" in "All Right" from Christopher Cross. Of course, I'm checking the lyrics.
"Te traigo pasta" is "To drag the past out" in "One", from U2.
En tu huerto no hay tomates: quand tu vois ton bateau partir (in french).
Es una porrera: smooth operator (this was really easy, it's the name of the song). Costo, costo: coast to coast.
Wow Santi! You're the specialist, even in French. Great job! You see how much of what we perceive depends on our expectations. The moral: how easily we can be influenced!
Hey, i ´ve found some of these songs, but if you want to hear them you will have to enter in our blog: The guys in the corner (hehehe)
