Greetings people!!! Seguimos en verano y donde mejor se puede estar es en remojo, sobre todo si tenemos una de las kilométricas playas de las que nuestras costas disfrutan.
En Eurocollege Cádiz estamos casi casi en la misma playa de la Victoria, so near and yet so far…
Pues nuestra cercanía a la playa y a los fondos marinos nos ha inspirado este post en el que vamos a hacer uso de la celebérrima canción de la película de Disney “La sirenita”/”The little mermaid” para aprender términos relacionados con el mar, las masas de agua y la vida marina.
The seaweed (algas) is always greener
In somebody else’s lake (lago)
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor (el fondo del océano)
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore (orilla) they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea
Down here all the fish (peces/pez) is happy
As off through the waves (olas) they roll (se desplazan, las olas / los peces se sirven en rolls de sushi – posible juego de palabras)
The fish on the land ain’t happy
They sad ’cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who’s gon’ be on the plate?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook (gancho, anzuelo / “to be off the hook” significa “librarse”)
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles (burbujas)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally (Naturally)
Even the sturgeon (esturión) an’ the ray (raya, manta raya)
They get the urge ‘n’ start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea
The newt (tritón) play the flute
The carp (carpa) play the harp
The plaice (platija) play the bass
And they soundin’ sharp
The bass (lubina) play the brass
The chub (gobio) play the tub
The fluke (lenguado) is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings (marucas) on the strings
The trout (trucha)rockin’ out
The blackfish (lábrido)she sings
The smelt ( pejerrey) and the sprat (sardineta)
They know where it’s at
An’ oh that blowfish (pez globo) blow
Yeah, under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
When the sardine (sardina)
Begin the beguine
It’s music to me (It’s music to me)
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean (crustáceos) band
Each little clam (almeja) here
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug (babosa) here
Cuttin’ a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail (caracol) here
Know how to wail (aullar, lamentarse, sonido del canto de las ballenas) here
That’s why it’s hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck (fango, lodo) here
Under the sea!
Y bien, hasta aquí el post. Esperamos que os haya servido para aprender más sobre el mundo acuático y os haya entretenido tanto a vosotros como a nosotros al hacerlo.
See you around, folks!
