Pelis Navidad easy to remember, and that's the name of the carol. Will listen. I'll just play a short fragment. I don't want to have any copyright its you were getting sued. It's just with the purpose of teaching Spanish. Let's listen then.
That This carol is a classic and it's perfect for Spanish beginners because the lyrics are very simple.
All it says is felice navidad prospero ago prosperous year. If fairly see that happiness, and here you can expand your vocabulary. Felie is an adjective to describe the mood of a person your story. Felice and fairly see that is the noun the concept. Fairly see that, So felice is related to fairly see that laugh, fairly see that. If you were ever wondering about what the lyrics of Felis Navidad said, there you have the explanation. I think
this song is also popular in the United States. If you didn't know about this, carol is Felie Navidad by Jose Feliciano. Our next carol is Campana soubet Campana. Maybe that name doesn't bring any Christmas bell hmm. I'll splain some of the key Spanish words and phrases in the chorus so you can understand the lyrics better. Just the chorus, because this one has some more complex lyrics compared to Felis Navidad, but the chorus is simple. Let's listen blein
campanas the villain kaleos so let's Concain wavers metries. Okay, Berlin is Bethlem in Spanish Berlen the place in the Bible where is believed Jesus was born. Also Berlin conman in Spanish nativity scene. In some countries they talk about ah Berlen i um Berlene e la plaza. There is a nativity scene in the plaza on Berlin. In the sense of the song is referred clearly to the place Berlein. Campanas, the Berlin campanas. What is campanas campanas is Bell's say ah amy p r a h s campanas guillos and
here let's do Concain weavers metries. In that fragment there is a verb related to music to carl quilos and hellis token that the angels play. They play the bells last campanas to card last campanas. You can use to card with any instrument you play. We don't say Hugard on instrumental espanel. That's a very common confusion. We say to garden instrumental And in this case Los Angeles token last campanas, So once again blain campanas de vilain key
Los Angeles tokan and then key nevas. Metra is nuevas any u a ube r s is an old fashioned world for news. Last nuevas the equivalent of titans, the glad titians last buenous nuevas. So when the angels play the bells, the person is asking what are the glad titans angels? That's what the person is asking there. Keen Weaver's metra is and this is something very common in
Biyan sequs carols, enoban sequels, I baalavras and teas. There are old fashioned words balavdras and tea wa was and I think it's the same in English Merry Christmas and not happy Christmas. You see, because normally this song has been passed on from generation to generation. Keen Weaver's metra is, what news are you bring in? Oh you're welcome, You're welcome. I'm really glad to tell you my talent. And that's the chorus of Campana. Sovety campana And finally, a classic
among classics, not the pass. Not sure what this carol is. You probably recognize this tune, uh huh silent night, but the lyrics in Spanish are not the exact translation, not war by word. Let's listen and review the vogeap no no them okay, so no the past, peaceful night. That's how we say it in Spanish, peaceful night, not the past, no the more in this case love night. As Spanish speakers, we had to do that to the song. We are more spicy Latinos. It's not holy night, it's naughty. They
are more men. The rador meaning everything sleeps around in a way, the sense of all is come, all is bright is kept in the song, just expressed differently to feed the rhythm and tune of the song. So to do everything sleeps in their redor in the redor means around And it's not very common nowadays. So that's why some carols have changed into already door around, already door. So I'll sing the most current version. No the bas okay, what time? No the bas No there moremel Sorry, for
breaking your glasses and that's all for today. Glassias put es Gutar speaking Spanish four beginners.
