Amar Haciendo El Amor

[zuv]

I just started learning spanish with Rosetta stone.

 

And now i want to read and learn Celine's Spanish songs. My favorite is "Amar Haciendo El Amor" Its funny cause I did the same thing when i was 8-9 years of age. My first lectures in English were from "Falling Into You" booklet :- P

 

i was wondering if any English speaker that speaks fluently spanish could phonetically transcribe the song.

 

Thanks : )

 

Sola en mi silencio andaba en la ciudad

El calor de tu mirada me hizo despertar

De ese largo sueño de esa soledad

Caminar junto a tu lado era natural

 

Contigo me escape del mundo a otra dimensión

En tus brazos yo sentia que perdia la razón

El miedo de entregarme con tu piel se me borró

Y en mi corazón por ti se despertaba el amor

como despierta una flor

cuando el viento la acaricia

y se entrega ante el calor

 

Se despertaba el amor

con esta loca pasión

junto a ti descubro lo que es

Amar haciendo el amor

 

Fuimos descubriendo secretos de los dos

y así entre risa y lágrimas el sol nos

Encontró

 

Somos dos extraños que el cielo confesó

 

Amantes que el destino sedujo sin control

 

Como un dia soñe

Cuando el sentimiento es tan profundo

entre el hombre y la mujer

Cuando es de verdad cuando sientes mas

y el deseo llega mas adentro.

Yes, the problem is that if I transcribe them phonetically, like ['so la] probably you wouldn't understand a lot of the symbols. The thing about Spanish is that it's very easy to pronunce because all of the vowels receive a full vowel sound, all you need to be careful is with the accented syllable. But unlike English, where "o" can be pronounced /ə/ as in polite, /ou/ as in code, /a/ as in hot, etc., in Spanish the "o" is always pronounced /o/ as in the English word "awe". Spanish vowels are pronounced somewhere "in the middle" of the English ones, as /i/ as in isla is longer than the "i" in hit, but shorter than the one in feel. The vowels are somewhat tense, but short.

 

Donpi86's page is a good one. In case you have any question, I'll be glad to help as well.

By the way, I have recorded my voice reading the song, so if you want it as to help you pronounce the words, I can send it to you.

yes please! lol

 

I was asking cause i saw the video of Celine and Sonia Benezra for the Falling Into You special. Celine had a piece of paper with the lyrics of Sola Otra Vez written in a way to pronounce the words correctly, so i thought maybe i could do that too. lol

 

Thanks donpi86, but i can't read that transcript at all. lolll, i guess i was talking about another kind of phonetics lol

[LuisMa]

I already sent you the file! Hope it helps!

[zuv]

Thank you so much! Love it

[LuisMa]

You're welcome!

[zuv]

Trying to transcribe it the way i hear it... its hard lol

 

and although you speak it very well and pronounce perfectly (duh you're from spain lol) its too fast for me lol i can't keep up.

 

i tried the first verse:

 

Sola emmy seel ancio andaba-en la see-oo-dad

 

El calorrr dey too mirada mey-hiso desperrrtarr

 

Dey essay larrgo sooguno dey esa soley-dad

 

Caminar huntoo-a .... ( now its too fast, i give up LOL)

 

I'll stick to my Rosetta Stone for now "El hombre bebe leché" "La mujer no lleva" hahaha

 

and i'll keep "humming" the song till i can speak spanish : P

[LuisMa]

 

Don't give up!

 

Practice makes perfect! (By the way I'm from Costa Rica, but I live in Spain now)

 

If you want me to record it slower, word by word, I have no problem in doing that, if it helps you improve. I'm a professor, so I like to help people studying languages.

Thanks man,

 

i'll wait a little though ;-)

Amazing song. One of my very faves on the LTAL album

[mike_z]

Weird how people didn't care much for this song... and SOLA OTRA VEZ became a classic even as a spanish song!

[Prima_Donna1]

I love this song but I heard it on the collectors series sony released in 2000,

[LuisMa]

I hope she'll release a full-Spanish album someday.

[Yangedd]

I was just listening to this song. Amazing.
