mujeriego


Superestrella
Donde vas? Como esta sucediendo?
Te conozco
Una pista, Que estas haciendo?
Puedes simular que eres distinto frente a las otras chicas
Pero yo se que eres, que eres, chico

Mírate
Consiguiendo más que una reaparición
Chico, tu
Sostienes todos los títeres por las cuerdas
Simulando como los buenos, pero yo llamo las cosas como son
Se que eres, que eres, chico

Mujeriego, mujeriego, eres un mujeriego
Oh, mujeriego, Oh eres un mujeriego, Nene
Tu,tu,tu eres
Tu,tu,tu eres
Mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Me tienes ida
Eres tan encantador
Pero no puedo hacerlo
Mujeriego”

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Dices que estoy loca
Se que tu lo eres
No eres más que un mujeriego”

Papito
Tienes el andar de un campeón
Demasiado malo
No puedes conseguir la compañía adecuada
Supongo que cuando tienes demasiado se hace difícil
Podría ser fácil, lo que eres
Eres solo lo que eres, chico



Caramelo
Me equivoco, eres ingenuo
En pensar que yo
Seria una victima, no otra
Dilo, actúa como quieras
Pero de ninguna manera me rendire a ti
Nunca, chico

Mujeriego, mujeriego, eres un mujeriego
Oh, mujeriego, Oh eres un mujeriego, Nene
Tu,tu,tu eres
Tu,tu,tu eres
Mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Me tienes ida
Eres tan encantador
Pero no puedo hacerlo
Mujeriego”

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Dices que estoy loca
Se que tu lo eres
No eres más que un mujeriego”

Tal vez vivamos en mundos diferentes
(Mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego)
Estaría todo bien, y tal vez seria tu chica
Pero no es posible
Porque tu…

Mujeriego, mujeriego, eres un mujeriego
Oh, mujeriego, Oh eres un mujeriego, Nene
Tu,tu,tu eres
Tu,tu,tu eres
Mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Me tienes ida
Eres tan encantador
Pero no puedo hacerlo
Mujeriego”

Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
Nene, no intentes ocultarlo
Yo se, se, lo que eres
“Dices que estoy loca
Se que tu lo eres
No eres más que un mujeriego”

Mujeriego, mujeriego, eres un mujeriego
Oh, mujeriego, Oh eres un mujeriego, Nene
Tu,tu,tu eres
Tu,tu,tu eres
Mujeriego, mujeriego, mujeriego

Imagine (exercise)

Listen to the song and read the translation into Spanish. Then try to write the lyrics in English


You can correct it:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
