- 2:13Speaker 2: That This carol is a classic and it's perfect for
- 2:21Speaker 2: Spanish beginners because the lyrics are very simple.
- 2:25Speaker 1: All it says is felice navidad prospero ago prosperous year.
- 2:33Speaker 1: If fairly see that happiness, and here you can expand
- 2:37Speaker 1: your vocabulary. Felie is an adjective to describe the mood
- 2:41Speaker 1: of a person your story. Felice and fairly see that
- 2:47Speaker 1: is the noun the concept. Fairly see that, So felice
- 2:52Speaker 1: is related to fairly see that laugh, fairly see that.
- 2:57Speaker 1: If you were ever wondering about what the lyrics of
- 3:00Speaker 1: Felis Navidad said, there you have the explanation. I think
- 3:05Speaker 1: this song is also popular in the United States. If
- 3:08Speaker 1: you didn't know about this, carol is Felie Navidad by
- 3:13Speaker 1: Jose Feliciano. Our next carol is Campana soubet Campana. Maybe
- 3:22Speaker 1: that name doesn't bring any Christmas bell hmm. I'll splain
- 3:31Speaker 1: some of the key Spanish words and phrases in the
- 3:33Speaker 1: chorus so you can understand the lyrics better. Just the chorus,
- 3:38Speaker 1: because this one has some more complex lyrics compared to
- 3:42Speaker 1: Felis Navidad, but the chorus is simple. Let's listen blein
- 3:57Speaker 1: campanas the villain kaleos so let's Concain wavers metries. Okay,
- 4:06Speaker 1: Berlin is Bethlem in Spanish Berlen the place in the
- 4:11Speaker 1: Bible where is believed Jesus was born. Also Berlin conman
- 4:15Speaker 1: in Spanish nativity scene. In some countries they talk about
- 4:21Speaker 1: ah Berlen i um Berlene e la plaza. There is
- 4:26Speaker 1: a nativity scene in the plaza on Berlin. In the
- 4:31Speaker 1: sense of the song is referred clearly to the place Berlein. Campanas,
- 4:37Speaker 1: the Berlin campanas. What is campanas campanas is Bell's say
- 4:45Speaker 1: ah amy p r a h s campanas guillos and
- 4:54Speaker 1: here let's do Concain weavers metries. In that fragment there
- 5:00Speaker 1: is a verb related to music to carl quilos and
- 5:05Speaker 1: hellis token that the angels play. They play the bells
- 5:10Speaker 1: last campanas to card last campanas. You can use to
- 5:15Speaker 1: card with any instrument you play. We don't say Hugard
- 5:20Speaker 1: on instrumental espanel. That's a very common confusion. We say
- 5:25Speaker 1: to garden instrumental And in this case Los Angeles token
- 5:30Speaker 1: last campanas, So once again blain campanas de vilain key
- 5:36Speaker 1: Los Angeles tokan and then key nevas. Metra is nuevas
- 5:43Speaker 1: any u a ube r s is an old fashioned
- 5:48Speaker 1: world for news. Last nuevas the equivalent of titans, the
- 5:54Speaker 1: glad titians last buenous nuevas. So when the angels play
- 5:59Speaker 1: the bells, the person is asking what are the glad
- 6:02Speaker 1: titans angels? That's what the person is asking there. Keen
- 6:05Speaker 1: Weaver's metra is and this is something very common in
- 6:10Speaker 1: Biyan sequs carols, enoban sequels, I baalavras and teas. There
- 6:17Speaker 1: are old fashioned words balavdras and tea wa was and
- 6:21Speaker 1: I think it's the same in English Merry Christmas and
- 6:25Speaker 1: not happy Christmas. You see, because normally this song has
- 6:29Speaker 1: been passed on from generation to generation. Keen Weaver's metra is,
- 6:35Speaker 1: what news are you bring in? Oh you're welcome, You're welcome.
- 6:39Speaker 1: I'm really glad to tell you my talent. And that's
- 6:45Speaker 1: the chorus of Campana. Sovety campana And finally, a classic
- 6:52Speaker 1: among classics, not the pass. Not sure what this carol is.
- 6:58Speaker 1: You probably recognize this tune, uh huh silent night, but
- 7:08Speaker 1: the lyrics in Spanish are not the exact translation, not
- 7:13Speaker 1: war by word. Let's listen and review the vogeap no
- 7:20Speaker 1: no them okay, so no the past, peaceful night. That's
- 7:36Speaker 1: how we say it in Spanish, peaceful night, not the past,
- 7:41Speaker 1: no the more in this case love night. As Spanish speakers,
- 7:48Speaker 1: we had to do that to the song. We are
- 7:51Speaker 1: more spicy Latinos. It's not holy night, it's naughty. They
- 7:56Speaker 1: are more men. The rador meaning everything sleeps around in
- 8:06Speaker 1: a way, the sense of all is come, all is
- 8:09Speaker 1: bright is kept in the song, just expressed differently to
- 8:13Speaker 1: feed the rhythm and tune of the song. So to
- 8:17Speaker 1: do everything sleeps in their redor in the redor means
- 8:23Speaker 1: around And it's not very common nowadays. So that's why
- 8:27Speaker 1: some carols have changed into already door around, already door.
- 8:33Speaker 1: So I'll sing the most current version. No the bas okay,
- 8:48Speaker 1: what time? No the bas No there moremel Sorry, for
- 9:07Speaker 1: breaking your glasses and that's all for today. Glassias put
