Język angielski dla każdego

W najbliższym czasie będzie seria piosenek dla dzieci :)

Można znaleźć ich mnóstwo w internecie, a są bardzo przydatne w nauczaniu najmniejszych dzieci (przedszkole, nauczanie początkowe).

Znacie jakieś? Macie swoje ulubione?

Dzisiaj proponuję piosenkę "Ten in the Bed" o misiach (choć nie tylko). Piosenka ta utrwala liczenie od 1-10 (wstecz) oraz zwroty typu "roll over!" oraz "one fell out", a także konstrukcję "there were" i "there was".

P.S. Bawiąc się z dziećmi na dywanie można się przy tej piosence nieźle wyturlać :D

Enjoy!

"Song of the Misty Mountains" by Neil Finn.

Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the heights
What was before, we see once more
Our kingdom a distant light

Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold

We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold

From long ago when lanterns burned
Till this day our hearts have yearned
Her fate unknown the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned

We must awake and make the day
To find a song for heart and soul

Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long-forgotten gold
Far away from Misty Mountains cold.



Alicia Keys - Doesn't mean anything

This beautiful city seems empty.
All the people in the world and you can still feel lonely.
What's the point of having it all without a person you love?
Sometimes you just need to start again in order to fly.

Used to dream of being a millionaire, without a care
But if I'm seeing my dreams and you aren't there
'Cause it's over, that just won't be fair

Darling, rather be a poor woman living on the street, no food to eat
'Cause I don't want no pie if I have to cry
'Cause it's over when you said goodbye

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above
Seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone

Now I see myself through different eyes, it's no surprise
Being alone will make you realize
When it's over, all in love is fair
I shoulda been there
I shoulda been there
I shoulda, shoulda

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above
Seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone

I know I pushed you away
What can I do that would save our love
Take these material things,
they don't mean nothing
It's you that I want

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above
Seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone
I shoulda been there
I shoulda been there
I shoulda, shoulda

All at once I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Now that you're gone
From above
Seems I had it all
But it doesn't mean anything
Since you're gone

Słowniczek:

- what's the point - po co?

- all at once - nagle, niespodziewanie

Excercise 1.

Do you know the quotation: All's far in love and war?

In some situations, such as when you are in love or waging war, you are allowed to be deceitful in order to get what you want. (Often said as an excuse for deception.)

I cheated on the entrance exam, but I really want to get into that school, and all's fair in love and war.

To get Judy to go out with him, Bob lied and told her that her boyfriend was seeing another woman. All's fair in love and war.



Excercise 2.

Find colloquial equivalents in the song for the following:

I used to

I'd rather

I don't want anybody

should have

they don't mean anything

Do you think that songs are the best way to learn grammar?

Exercise 3.

Listen to the song and choose the best summary.

a) I used to have lots of money. I lost it all, but it doesn't matter, because I've got you.

b) I'd love to be rich, but it doesn't matter if I never am because I've got you.

c) I'm very rich, but money means nothing to me now because I've lost you.

d) Let's throw away all our money and possessions and just be together.

BRUNO MARS - GRENADE

Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don't understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same

If my body was on fire, ooh
You’ d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.
No, you won’t do the same,
You wouldn’t do the same,
Ooh, you’ll never do the same,
No, no, no, no
