Bryan Adams - Everiything I Do

Bryan Adams

Milli Vanilli Girl, I'm gonna miss you

Milli Vanilli Girl, I'm gonna miss you

Hazel O Connor Will you

Hazel O Connor Will you


Will you

You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool,
thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs,
I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time

Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I am so unsure
This moment I have waited for
Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?
Take off your eyes, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent dawn
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

Walk of the earth - Gang of rhythm


Walk of the earth - Gang of rhythm

I got this old guitar

I got a shaker too
the kinds of sound
that wants to make you move

there's no worries on the earth tonight
we're all walkin' off the world tonight

come on now everyone yeah
come on now everyone
we're like a locomotive
under the big hot sun
we're chained to the gang of rhythm
the song is never done
come on now everyone yeah
come on now everyone
come on everyone

we got this melody

to write a tune you know will never die
let's gather round and sing a song

there's no worries on the earth tonight
we're all walkin' off the world tonight

come on now everyone
we're like a locomotive 
under the big hot sun
we're chained to the gang of rhythm
the song is never done
come on now everyone yeah
come on now everyone
come on everyone

and when the night is done
these chains will hold us strong
the chords will carry on
long after we're gone oh oh

there's no worries on the earth tonight
we're all walkin' off the world tonight

come on now everyone yeah
come now everyone
we're like like a locomotive
under the big hot sun

come on everyone

I got this old guitar
the strings are rusty
but it's all I need...

Szleng - Slang

Slang

"Szeretnél olyasmiről tanulni, ami nincs benne a tankönyvekben, de mégis az élő nyelvhez tartozik?"

Nos, ha a fenti kérdésre a válaszod igen, akkor kövesd a mai leckét figyelemmel, mert a slang-ről lesz szó. 
Minden nyelv napról napra változik, sokszor észre sem vesszük mennyire. Új szavak kerülnek a nyelvbe, és vannak, amelyek elavulnak, vagy már nem használatosak.
slang azokra a szavakra utal, amelyek inkább a beszélt nyelvre jellemzőek, nem az írottra, és amelyek egy bizonyos csoportra jellemzőek. Nevezhetnénk az utca embere nyelvezetének is, de az is slang amit mondjuk az iskolások használnak, vagy például a közeli barátok használnak egymás között.
A szavakkal sajnos az a gond, hogy sok jelentésük van, így például egy hétköznapi szónak, mint például a "chicken" szó, a köznapi használatban olyan valakire mondhatjuk, aki nem nagyon bátor. Mi erre a "nyuszi" szót használjuk:)
Ami 100 évvel ezelőtt slang volt, az ma már valószínűleg elavult szó. Hiszen ez főleg a fiatalokkal köthető össze, akik valami új nevet akarnak adni valaminek, amire már létezik egy szó. Kezdetben azért, hogy csak pár ember értse, de utána ezek a szavak bekerülnek a szókincsbe.

Nézzük az első ilyen szót: pénz

Ezt a szót talán az is tudja angolul, aki még sosem tanult, hiszen a money szó, már szinte bekúszott a magyar nyelvbe is.
A pénz szóra a brit angol még a következő szavakat használja:
dosh (dos) /dɒʃ/
notes (nóútsz) /nəʊts/ Az amerikai angol erre a bill szót használja.
the readies (dhö redíz) /ðəˈred.iz/
Ha Nagy-britanniába mész vagy dolgozol, akkor hallhatoda quid (kwid) /kwɪd/ szót a pénzre, ami a font megfelelője. Így például 2 font: two quid (ennek a szónak az egyes és többes száma ugyanaz)
Az amerikai dollár a hétköznapi nyelvben buck (bák) /bʌk/ vagy green back (grín bek)
Hallgasd meg a fenti szavak kiejtését.

Williams Shatner - Common People

She came from Greece,
she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College.
That's where I caught her eye.

She told me that her Dad was loaded.
I said, in that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola.
She said fine, and in thirty seconds time she said,

I want to live like common people.
I want to do whatever common people do.
I want to sleep with common people.
I want to sleep with common people, like you.

Well, what else could I do?
I said, I'll see what I can do.

I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know why, but I had to
start it somewhere, so it started there.

I said, pretend you've got no money.
She just laughed, and said
oh you're so funny. I said, yeah?
Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here.

Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see?
You want to sleep with common people?
You want to sleep with common people, like me?
But, she didn't understand,

[Jackson]
She just smiled and held my hand.

Rent a flat above a shop.
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.

But still, you'll never get it right.
When you're lying in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your Dad he could stop it all.
Yeah.

[Shatner]
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do.
You'll never fail like common people.
You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
and dance and drink and screw

[Jackson and Shatner]
because there's nothing else to do.

[Shatner and Chorus]
Sing along with the common people.
Sing along, and it might just get you thru.'

[Chorus]
Laugh along with the common people.

[Shatner and Chorus]
Laugh along, even though they're laughing at you

[Shatner]
and the stupid things that you do
'cause you think that poor is cool.

[Jackson]
Like a dog lying in a corner,
they'll bite you and never warn you.
Look out.

[Shatner]
They'll tear your insides out
'cause everybody hates a tourist.

[Jackson]
'Cause Everybody hates a tourist,
especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh.

[Shatner]
Yeah, and the chip stains' grease
will come out in the bath.

[Shatner and Jackson]
You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere left to go.

You're amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright,
while you can only wonder why.

Rent a flat above a shop.
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.

But still, you'll never get it right.
'Cause When you're lying in bed at night

[Shatner]
watching roaches climb the wall,
if you called your Dad he could stop it all.
Yeah.


You'll never live like common people

[Shatner and Jackson]
You'll never do what common people do.
You'll never fail like common people.
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and dance and drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do.

[Chorus]
I want to sing with common people, like you.
I want to sing with common people, like you.
I want to sing with common people, like you.

Hairdresser: It sounds good. Would you like me to dye your hair, too?
Woman: Actually, I’m not really keen on having it dyed, yet I would like some blond stripes to highlight my hairdo.
Hairdresser: All right. I understand. We use very high quality materials, which do not destroy the hair structure, so don’ be afraid of hair colouring.
Woman: Okay. I just want to have some highlights now. Maybe later I’ll try colouring, too.
Hairdresser: … and what about the style? Do you have any specific idea, or you just want to have it curled?
Woman:  I would also like you to cut it a bit shorter, just to chop off the ends.
Hairdresser:  Certainly, madam. If you want me to do it, I’ll do it.
Woman: I’m absolutely sure.
Hairdresser:  All right, and then follow me, please so that I can shampoo your hair, first.
Woman: Thank you.

Riders on the storm



Doors Riders On The Storm Lyrics
Send "Riders On The Storm" Ringtone to your Cell
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/doors/riders+on+the+storm_20042656.html ]
Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Yeah!

FORDÍTÁS 1.
LOVAS A VIHARBAN

Támad a vihar
lovason a baj
ez a szülőházunk
vad világban járunk
mint az eb ha csont nem akad
a zenész kívül marad
zápor ha szakad

Gyilkos az uton
agya izgő haluszony
vár a nyár meleggel
családdal eredj el
pároddal utazgatni
szép emlékednek annyi
gyilkos az uton

Te lány szeresd embered
lányka imádd embered
fogd meg két kezét
tudjad lényegét
a világ tőled remél:
létünk véget nem ér
szeresd hát embered

Baró!

Támad a vihar
lovason a baj
ez a szülőházunk
külvilágban járunk
mint az eb ha csont nem akad
a zenész csuda faj
támad a vihar

FORDÍTÁS 2.
Dalszöveg
Vándor az úton, vihar az úton,
Hull a jó eső, jó nyári eső,
Mint kutyának a csont, kell zenésznek a pénz,
Vándor az úton.

Gyilkos az úton, a sötét agy oson,
Nyaralni, ha mész, gyermekedre nézz!
Ha nem figyelsz a házra, meghal a család.
Gyilkos az úton.

Vándor az úton, vihar az úton,
Hull a jó eső, jó nyári eső,
Mint kutyának a csont, kell színésznek a pénz,
Vándor az úton.

Lány, ha férfi kell, lány, szeretned kell,
Öleljen a kéz, értsen meg az ész.
Az esély a miénk és messze még a vég.
Lány, szeretned kell.

Vándor az úton, vándor az úton.
Vándor, vándor, vándor, vándor az úton.

Good morning beautiful Day



Steve Holy---Good Morning Beautiful

Good Morning Beautiful, how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And when I opened my eyes and see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

I couldn't see the light, I didn't know day from night
And I had no reason to care, but since you've came along
I can face the dawn, 'cause I know you'll be there

Good Morning Beautiful, how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And when I opened my eyes and see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

I never worry if it's raining outside
'Cause in here with you girl, the sun always shines

Good Morning Beautiful, how was your night?
Mine was wonderful with you by my side
And when I opened my eyes and see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day

Mmmm mmm good morning beautiful day
It's a beautiful day

Dalszöveg:

Jó reggelt szép, milyen volt az éjszaka?
Az enyém volt, csodálatos veletek az én oldalamon
És amikor kinyitottam a szemem, és látni az édes arcát
Jó reggelt szép napot

Nem láttam a fényt, nem tudtam nap éjszaka
És én semmi oka nem volt ellátás, de mivel már jött
Én is szembenézni a hajnal, mert tudom, hogy ott leszek

Jó reggelt szép, milyen volt az éjszaka?
Az enyém volt, csodálatos veletek az én oldalamon
És amikor kinyitottam a szemem, és látni az édes arcát
Jó reggelt szép napot

Soha nem aggódni, ha esik az eső kívül
Mert itt veletek lány, a nap mindig süt

Jó reggelt szép, milyen volt az éjszaka?
Az enyém volt, csodálatos veletek az én oldalamon
És amikor kinyitottam a szemem, és látni az édes arcát
Jó reggelt szép napot

Mmmm mmm jó reggelt szép napot
Ez egy szép nap

NEIL YOUNG: See the sky about to rain



NEIL YOUNG LYRICS
"See The Sky About To Rain"

See the sky about to rain,
broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
whistle blowing
through my brain.
Signals curling on an open plain,
rolling down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

Some are bound for happiness,
some are bound to glory
Some are bound to live with less,
who can tell your story?

See the sky about to rain,
broken clouds and rain.
Locomotive, pull the train,
whistle blowin'
through my brain.
Signals curlin' on an open plain,
rollin' down the track again.
See the sky about to rain.

I was down in Dixie Land,
played a silver fiddle
Played it loud and then the man
broke it down the middle.
See the sky about to rain.
