ay whats happenin..... im bad at spanish... and i am tryin to learn and was told to learn through music aswell... well i like hip hop music... so first off - any suggestions???

also... i thought as a start i found a track - mainly in english... i think has the odd spanish lines in there... and was wondering if people could translate the spanish for me... so i can listen to how it is on the audio and understand what is bein said also...

heres the lines -

"saquen los habanos, que se juntaron el boricua y el cubano, pa darse la mano"

"dile que voa pensar que me pueden matar el no verla aqui (el no verla aqui)"

"jamas podria aguantar el que si ella se va( tenga que morir)"

and heres the link - http://www.onlylyrics.com/song.php?id=28973

any help appreciated..... Laughing

It says something like:
take out your cuban cigars, that the puertorican and the cuban got together, to shake hands
tell him that it can kill me not seeing her here
I could never stand it if she goes away, has to die...

Well I don't like hip-hop, and don't think it could be a good way of learning because they don't speak good Spanish, or too many local idioms... anyway, good luck Laughing

OutlawSpirit

thx 4 the translation tho... haha - i see your point about the hip hop not being a good learning source... think ill look elsewhere then for learning

thanks

Well, I don't like hiphop neither, but I've listen some bands and if I had to choose, maybe you can try listening Nach Scratch (I think I wrote it right) because his letters are, more or less, like the normal way of speaking spanish. Try it. And good luck!

thanks - will check em out...

also... just a quick translation perhaps from someone whilst here - im makin a graphic and need the translation of "Take every opportunity, it could be your last" in spanish...

if anyone could, id appreciate it... cant do it myself - i only just learnt about nouns etc and how to use them in spanish Laughing

Mrs Lycos

Here we go again:
"Aprovecha cada oportunidad, podría ser la última..."

Have fun! Wink

(nice phrase by the way)

OutlawSpirit

thx mrs lycos... much appreciated

so "Aprovecha cada oportunidad, podría ser la última" is a direct translation of "Take every oppurtunity, it could be your last"

or did you change it a little, if so - whats the direct english translation of "Aprovecha cada oportunidad, podría ser la última"

sorry 4 bein annoyin with this .... also, the accent's have to stay or are not 100% needed because the font im using doesnt allow accents Sad

if they do - no worries... ill have to add them in manually!

gracias

Hi, I'm sorry if It's too late... I haven't signed in for quite a while. Anyway, I changed a little, the translation in English would be: "Take every opportunity, it could be the last one" . And the accents are needed, there are rules for accentuation....
