Hello Nepta!

They’re Here...

Your job today is to translate the following 3 songs to Spanish:

1. ‘Put your Head on My Shoulders’ by Paul Anka ( dale click al texto te deberia llevar a donde esta
la letra dentro de este mismo documento, sera divertido)

2. ‘Lemon Tree’ by Fools Garden

3. ‘Logical Song’ by SuperTramp

As you might have guessed, the purpose is for you to try and find meaning in this songs and
translate that meaning

The first song is full of simple sentences, so it should not be so hard to translate.

For the second song, the task will be harder: I want you to, besides translating, write the tense of
every line or sentence: it could be present, present progressive, past, future will, conditional.

I know that is added difficulty so I am giving you a tense cheatsheet in the last page

For the third song you just need to translate and is mostly vocabulary

Have Fun!

Because of the added difficulty I am giving you 5 days.

(Oh and the next set of songs will be translating from Spanish to English to see if you can convey a
meaning that you know in a new language)

It was Beauty killed the Beast

Paul Anka Lyrics
"Put Your Head On My Shoulder"
Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear

Won't you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love
(You and I will fall in love)

People say that love's a game

A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in

Put your head on my shoulder

Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too
(Tell me that you love me too)

Put your head on my shoulder

Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder
Fool's Garden Lyrics
"Lemon Tree"
I'm sitting here in a boring room, it's just another rainy
Sunday afternoon. I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do.
I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you,
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder.

I'm driving around in my car, I'm driving too fast, I'm

Driving too far. I'd like to change my point of view.
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you,
But nothing ever happens - and I wonder.

I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me

'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just
A yellow lemon tree. I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around.
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree.

Sing: dah...

I'm sitting here, I miss the power, I'd like to go out,

Taking a shower, but there's a heavy cloud inside my head.
I feel so tired, put myself into bed, where nothing ever
Happens - and I wonder.

Isolation - is not the good for me.

Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon tree.
I'm steppin' around in a desert of joy. Baby anyhow I'll get
Another toy and everything will happen - and you'll wonder.

I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me

'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just
Another lemon tree. I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why yesterday you told me
'Bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see
And all that I can see
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.
Supertramp Lyrics
"Logical Song"
When I was young,
It seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees,
Well they'd be singing so happily,
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me.

But then they sent me away

To teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, oh responsible, practical.
And then they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable,
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical.

There are times

When all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.

Won't you please,

Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am.

I said now what would you say

Now we're calling you a radical,
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.

Oh won't you sign up your name,

We'd like to feel you're acceptable,
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!

Take, take, take it

'Cause I was feeling so logical

TENSE CHEATSHEET(in Spanish because I do not want any
confusion)

SIMPLE PRESENT

El presente simple expresa acciones que ocurren al instante La conjugacion siempre suele ser exactamente el verbo
original, excepto en tercera persona del singular donde se agrega una s al final. El auxiliar do se convierte en el negativo
do not para negar (O does not en el caso de la tercera persona)

Positivo( tercera persona resaltado) Negacion (Nota que no se agrega la ‘s’ al final)
I love pizza I do not love pizza
You drink beeer You do not drink beer
He kisses his girlfriend he does not kiss his girlfriend
She does not reject the idea
She rejects the idea
it does not jump
It jumps We do not read
We read the same book They do not dance salsa
They dance salsa

PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

El presente progresivo indica acciones que estan pasando por tiempo.El presente progresivo utiliza el auxiliar be (ser o
estar) el verbo mas raro de conjugar en ingles:
I am, You are, He is, She is , It is, We are, They are
Lo unico que hay que hacer es agregar el verbo que quieres expresar en la oracion mas la terminacion -ing (el gerundio)

I am eating pizza
You are drinking beeer
He is not kissing his girlfirend
She is reading a book
They are dancing salsa

SIMPLE PAST
No voy a extenderme en la explicacion, porque en este tiempo los verbos si se conjugan al pasado, debes reconocer las
conjugaciones en pasado. Los verbos regulares se conjugan con la terminacion “-ed” los demas son todo un despelote

PAST PROGRESSIVE
igual que el presente progresivo, pero el verbo auxiliat be se conjuga al pasado:
I was, You were, He was , She was, We were, They were

CONDITIONAL
Para hablar en condicional solo se agrega el auxiliar would que no se conjuga

I would explain more, but i do not want to

FUTURE WILL
El futuro igual usa nomas del auxiliar will que negado es will not y en contraccion es won’t
