Here’s some more music! Try to figure out the lyrics of the songs before reading the translations!!

This song is really pretty advanced but sometimes it’s good to see things way above your level just to be aware.

Lyrics, Shakira: Si te vas.

Cuí©ntame que harí¡s despuí©s que estrenes su cuerpo
Cuí¡ndo muera tu traviesa curiosidad, Cuí¡ndo memorices todos sus recobecos
Y decidas otra vez regresar, Ya no estarí© aquí­ en el mismo lugar

Tell me what will you do after you try her body
When your mischievous curiosity dies, when you memorize all her curves
and decide to come back again, I will not be here in the same place

Si no tiene mí¡s que un par de dedos de frente, Y descubres que no se lava bien los dientes
Si te quita los pocos centavos que tienes, Y luego te deja sí³lo tal como quiere

If  she doesnt have more then two fingers, and discover that she doesn’t brush her teelh well
If she takes the few cents you have, and if later she leaves you

Sí© que volverí¡s el dí­a, En que ella te haga trizas
Sin almohadas para llorar, Pero si te has decidido
Y no quieres mí¡s conmigo, Nada ahora puede importar
Porque sin ti el mundo ya me da igual

I know you are going to return, on that day she leaves you sad
Without a pillow to cry on, but you have decided
and you dont want to have anything to do with me, Nothing now can matter
because without you, I’m indifferent to the world

Chorus:

Si te vas, si te vas, si te marchas
Mi cielo se harí¡ gris
Si te vas, si te vas, ya no tienes
Que venir por mi
Si te vas, si te vas, y me cambias
Por esa bruja, pedazo de cuero
No vuelvas nunca mí¡s
Que no estarí© aquí­

If you leave, if you leave, if you march out on me,
My sky will turn gray
If you leave, If you leave, you don’t have to come back for me.
if you leave, if you leave and exchange me
for this witch, piece of hide
Don’t come back to me anymore
I won’t be here.

Toda escoba nueva siempre barre bien, Luego vas a ver desgastadas las cerdas
Cuí¡ndo las arrugas le corten la piel, Y la celulitis invada sus piernas

New brooms always sweep well, Later you are going to see that the bristles wear out
When wrinkles cut her face, and the cellulite invade her legs.

Volverí¡s desde tu infierno, Con el rabo entre los cuernos
Implorando una vez mí¡s, Pero para ese entonces
Yo estarí© un millí³n de noches, Lejos de esta enorme ciudad
Lejos de ti, el mundo ya me da igual

You’ll return from your inferno, with your your tail between your legs
Imploring one more time, but by then
I will be a million nights far from this enormous city
far from you, I am indifferent to the world

Chorus

Juanes: Me Enamora

Cada blanco en mi mente
Se vuelve color con verte
Y el deseo de tenerte,
Es mí¡s fuerte, es mí¡s fuerte.

every blank in my mind
Turn to color on seeing you
And the desire to have you,
Is stronger, is stronger.

Sí³lo quiero que me lleves
De tu mano por la senda,
Y atravesar el bosque
Que divide nuestras vidas.

I only want you to take me
By the hand on the path,
And through the forest
That divides our lives.

Hay tantas cosas
Que me gustan hoy de ti.

There are so many things
That I like about you today.

Chorus A:
Me enamora
Que me hables con tu boca
Me enamora
Que me eleves hasta el cielo
Me enamora
Que de mi sea tu alma soñadora.

It makes me fall in love
That you speak to me with your mouth
It makes me fall in love
That you elevate me to the heavens
It makes me fall in love
That your dreamer’s soul be mine.

Chorus B:
La esperanza de mis ojos
Sin ti, mi vida no tiene sentido
Sin ti, mi vida es como un remolino
De cenizas que se van (ooooh)
Volando con el viento.

The hope of my eyes
Without you, my life has no meaning
Without you, my life is like a whirlpool
Of ashes that go
Flying with the wind.

Yo no sí© si te merezco
Solo sí© que aún deseo
Que le des luz a mi vida
En los dí­as venideros.

I don’t know if I deserve you
All I know is that I still wish
For you to give light to my life
In its days ahead.

Lí©eme muy bien los labios
Te lo digo bien despacio
Por el resto de mis dí­as
Quiero ser tu compañí­a.

Read my lips well
I tell it to you very slowly
For the rest of my days
I want to be your company.

Hay tantas cosas
Que me gustan hoy de ti.

There are so many things
That I like about you today.

Alright so this one is not really a video but its such a great song:

No sí© cuantas cosas se pueden encontrar
en el ojo izquierdo de una persona, pero sí©
que en tus labios yo pude encontrar
amor sin fin, y me hizo enloquecer.

I don’t know how many things they can find
In the left of of a person, but I know
that in your lips I can find
love without end and it makes me crazy.

No sí© cuantas rosas te habrí¡n regalado ya,
pero tengo todaví­a la esperanza de saber
que de todas esas rosas que te dieron
ninguna fue de papel.

I don’t know how many roses they have already given you
But I still have the hope of knowing
that of all these roses they gave you
none were of paper

Y te condena mi celoso corazí³n
cuando le contí¡s tu historia,
nunca conocio la gloria
en cuestiones del amor.

And my jealous heart punishes you
when you tell them your story
never knew the glory
in questions of love

Y sí© que nunca se me va a olvidar tu voz
aunque pierda la memoria,
con acercarse a la victoria
se conforma un perdedor.

And I know that I am never going to forget your voice
although I forget the memory
with getting closer to the victory

Y te tendrí© que dejar escapar,
sí© que lo voy a lamentar,
pero te digo, amor,
hay que saber cuando parar.

And I will have to let you go,
I know I will regret it,
but let me tell you honney,
one needs to know when to stop.

No te pongas triste, corazí³n,
que el sol no va a brillar,
quedate tranquila que va a haber
tiempo para bailar.

Don’t be sad sweetheart,
the sun isn’t going to shine,
stay calm, there will be
time to dance.

No sí© cuantos í¡ngeles te quieren ayudar
pero tengo la esperanza que ninguno va a poder
desnudarte, no de cuerpo sino de alma,
disfrutar ese placer.

I don’t know how many angels would like to help you,
but I hope that none of them will be able
to undress you, not your body but your soul,
enjoy that pleasure.

Y la verdad no sí© bien a quí© tengo miedo,
nunca fui mucho de apostar,
una corazonada me dice
que es hora de pagar.

And the truth is that I don’t know what is it that I fear,
I was never a gambling guy,
I had a feeling that told me
it is time to pay.

Y lo peor es que estos dí­as ando seco,
no tengo un peso para dar,
las lí¡grimas quiero guardarlas
para mi juicio final.

And the worst thisg is nowadays I don’t have any money,
I don’t have a penny to give,
the tears I want to save them
for my doomsday.

Y cuando tu cigarro se consuma sin parar
siempre mi voz vas a escuchar,
y ahí­ te vas a decir
que hay que saber cuando parar.

And when your cigarrette burns itself nonstop
you will always listen to my voice,
and then you will decide
that you must know when to stop.

No te pongas triste, corazí³n…

More cheezy yet entertaining jokes to learn Spanish by;

Un hombre cae a un rí­o y es salvado por un habitante del lugar.
- Gracias por salvarme la vida. Le darí­a cincuenta dí³lares en agradecimiento, pero sí³lo tengo un billete de cien.
- Bueno, en ese caso, tí­rese al agua y lo rescato de nuevo.

A man fell into a river and was saved by someone who lived there
-Thanks for saving my life. I would give you $50 dollars in gratitude, but I only have a $100 bill.
-Well, in that case, throw yourself in the water and I’ll rescue you again

Un í¡tomo viendo la cara de preocupado del otro le pregunta:
- ¿Por quí© llevas esa cara?
- Es que perdí­ un electrí³n
- ¿Estí¡s seguro?
- Sí­, estoy totalmente positivo

One atom, looking at the worried face of another, asks
“Why do you have that look on your face?”
-”It’s because I lost an electron”
“Are you sure?”
-”Yes, I am completely positive”

Check out some reviews from iTunes!

We have had a really great response from out current users…. here is what some of them said about us at the iTunes store:

Love this app!

by lj322

One of the best ways to learn and RETAIN spanish. I’ve spent 6 years learning Spanish and it just never sticks! The witty banter really helps me improve my listening comprehension.

I wish my high school spanish class had been this fun!

by ivegotmeow

I’m moving to buenos aires and BUENO, ENTONCES was recommended to me as a cool way to learn spanish. I really dig it so far. the concept is creative, it is fun to watch, and the content is challenging. I’m happy they don’t dumb it down for you , but I can see why some people think it’s a little fast. Truthfully, I had to watch the episode twice to feel I’d gotten everything. I love the ease of having it on my iphone and watching it at my convenience. It’s hard for me to commit to a physical class (due more to laziness than time constrictions), so it is a great alternative way to learn spanish.

Great way of learning Spanish

by Preproduction

This is absolutely one of the most fun language lessons I have ever seen. It is like a very entertaining TV show, with intelligent conversations and good acting. Complete refreshement after all those boring podcasts that we are used to.

I am looking forward to more of it! Great work:)

Very Good

by Smirkypants

I gave a generally positive review of “Bueno Entonces” in Episode 23. I purchased another couple of episodes and my impression still stands: they are surprisingly well-done, professionally polished and entertaining…. the way these little episodes are set up really give you a feel for the way Spanish is structured. Additionally, I have to add that Jimena’s voice acting is superb. Seriously, she plays the “straight-man” role really well. Es decir, el personaje que hace de serio en una pareja de cí³micos. I’d definitely recommend that you check these out—and if you’re on your way to Argentina, they are a *must.* It’s one of the very few resources out the that gives you a feel for the way people speak in Buenos Aires.

Fun, dynamic, and effective Spanish lessons

by Caroline1

I’ve tried a whole slew of resources to maintain and improve my intermediate-level Spanish – magazines, private tutors, group classes, self-learning CDs, Spanish podcasts – but this is the first method I’ve tried that actually keeps me engaged and motivated. The characters Jimena and David are so charming, you are practically transported right to Buenos Aires with them. The visual component makes it about five times easier to learn and remember new words and grammar (versus most rich media language applications which are audio only). I’d strongly recommend this app to anyone looking to boost his/her beginning to intermediate level Spanish.

Wow, Finally!…A Fun Language App

by FIPSbk

I just started using this app, but already I’m totally loving it.

I’ve tried a variety of other language apps and podcasts and I usually get very bored, very quickly. The format here (i.e. using the backstory of someone who is *actually* trying to learn the language too) is a very cool twist. I also love all the conversational words/tips.

The symbols/color keys also rock.

So far, big thumbs up!

Bueno, entonces… is available on DVD, iPod, iPhone, iPod touch, and for Instant Download!!

These were taken from Aco

“I don’t understand, old man*. If they say that there is life in other worlds, how can it be that they have not gotten in concact with us?”
“Just for that reason old lady: they are intelligent”
*viejo/a is used as a term of endearment in Argentina but the literal translation is old man/woman

For my vacations, I always look for a place like this, desolate, without the noise of the big tourist areas, and like this I disconnect, alienate myself, to be able to escape from the ghosts that we all have. you understand me no?

Look friend, I want to help but I never walk around with cash, and you told me that you don’t accept credit card, nor do I have a place where I can make a bank transfer. What can I do?

So we have been posting lots of stuff we find on the internet, but what about all the cool stuff from Bueno, entonces…!

We just put together a promotional clip of the program which came out really cool:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tlGKsaH4q8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6]

What do you think?? Sooo the best way of learning Spanish right??

Here are a few music videos with the lyrics translated into English. Looove Bacilos and Juanes! Many more to come!

Bacilos, La cara de la luna. Lyrics: Spanish & English

Quien dice que no duelen, Las huellas en la arena
A ella el mar se la llevo, Pero la luna sigue ahi
Pero esa luna es mi condena
Despacio en la mañana , Agitos por la noche
Las voces vivas del recuerdo , Se disfrazan de intuicií³n
Y en una voz tu voz se esconde (2X)

Who says it doesn’t hurt, the footsteps in the sand
She was taken by the sea, but the moon is still here
but this look is my punnishment.
Slowly in the morning, Shaken by the night
The voices of memory, are disguised of intuition

Chorus

Y yo sí© que tal vez
Tu nunca escuches mi cancion, yo se
Y yo sí© que tal vez
Te siga usando asi
Robí¡ndote en mi inspiracií³n

And I know, that maybe
you never listen to my song, I know
And I kow that maybe
I’ll keep using you like this,
robbing you in my inspiracion

Mientras siga viendo tu cara en la cara de la luna
Mientras siga escuchando tu voz
Entre las olas, entre la espuma
Mientras tenga que cambiar la radio de estacion Porque cada cancion me hable de ti
De ti
De ti
(me hable de ti)

Meanwhile, I keep seeing your face in the face of the moon
Meanwhile, I keep hearing your voice
between the waves, between the foam
Meanwhile, I have to change the radio station because every song speaks to me of you
of you
of you
speaks to me of you

La vida se me esconde
Detras de una promesa sin cumplir
De donde nace alguna inspiracií³n, de donde nace otra cancií³n
Y ya no se bien quien se esconde
Yo ya no se lo que se esconde

Life escapes me
behind a promise without completion
from where inspiration is born, from where another song is born
And I don’t know well who is hiding
I dont yet know what is hiding

Chorus (2x)

Yo seguirí© buscando, yo seguirí© escapando
Tal vez de ti, tal vez de mi
Yo seguirí© buscí¡ndole una explicacií³n
A esta cancií³n
Tambií©n

I’ll continue looking, I’ll continue escaping
Maybe from you, Maybe from me
I’ll keep looking for an explanation
to this song
also

Chorus (2x)

Juanes, Gotas de Agua Dulce. Lyrics: Spanish & English

Hace mucho tiempo no me enamoraba de unos ojos tan bonitos
comunes de lozano brillo
Era lo que menos en mi plan estaba
aunque te admito que a veces soñaba
con la belleza de tu mirada

A long time ago I didn’t fall for some beautiful eyes
Common eyes with a healthy shine
It was the last thing in my plans
Although I admit to you that sometimes I dreamt
of the beauty of your look.

Quiero llevar el ritmo de tu corazí³n
para bailar entre los dos esta cancií³n
la verdad, me estoy volviendo a enamorar la verdad, quiero que sepas que…

I want to carry, the rhythm of your heart
to dance, betweent the two of us, this song
The truth, I’m falling in love again
The truth, I want you to know….

Lo que yo siento por ti, es amor
Ganas que me hacen nutrir, el corazí³n
droga que me hace inmune, ante el dolor
gotas de agua dulce, rayo de sol.
(X2)

What I feel for you, is love
desire that nourishes my heart
Drugs that make me immune to pain
drops of sweet water, rays of sun

Llí©vame, de ser preciso, por la semblanza de tu sombra
yo sí© que tu prendes la luz y en mi vida te asomas
como las blancas palomas, cuando la plaza se toma
con vuelo inmortal

Carry me, precisely, by the shape of your shadow
I know that you turn on the light and you enter my life
Like white doves, when the plaza is taken
With an immortal flight

Ok, so these might be a bit cheezy but totally fun to read, and a great way to practice. Spanish is blue, English purple. Please note, if the English sounds a little funny, it is because for the most part these were translated literally so you get an idea for the meaning of each word.

“Doctor, me siento mal todo me da vueltas, ademí¡s me arde el corazí³n.”
- Mire Sra., en primer lugar no soy doctor, soy cantinero, Usted no estí¡ enferma estí¡ borracha y en tercer lugar no le arde el corazí³n, tiene una teta en el cenicero.

“Doctor, I feel sick.  Everything is spinning and moreover, my heart burns.”
- Look Miss, in the first place, I am not a doctor, I’m a bartender. You’re not sick, you are drunk, and in the third place, your heart does not burn, you have a breast in the ashtray.

Un hombre ejecutivo destinado temporalmente en Paris por negocios, recibe una carta de su novia desde Chile. La carta decí­a lo siguiente:

A business man, on a business trip to Paris receives a letter from his girlfriend in Chile. The Letter said the following:

Querido Alejandro:
Ya no puedo continuar con esta relacií³n. La distancia que nos separa es demasiado grande. Tengo que admitir que te he sido infiel diez veces desde que te fuiste y creo que ni tu ni yo nos merecemos esto, lo siento. Por favor devuelveme la foto que te envií©.
Con amor.
Marí­a

Dear Alejandro:
I can not continue our relationship. The distance that separates us is too large. I have to admit that I have been unfaithful 10 times since you left and I believe that neither you or I deserve this. I am sorry. Pleas return the picture that I sent you.
With Love,
Maria

El hombre, muy herido, le pidií³ a todos sus compañeros de trabajo que le regalaran fotos de sus novias, hermanas, amigas, tí­as, primas,etc. Junto con la foto de Marí­a, incluyí³ todas esas otras fotos que habí­a recolectado de sus amigos. Habí­a 57 fotos en el sobre y una nota que decí­a:

The Man, very hurt, asked all of his friends from work to give him pictures of their girlfriends, sisters, friends, aunts, cousins…etc. Together with the picture of Maria, he included all of the pictures that he collected from his friends. There were 57 in total, and and a note that said:

Marí­a, perdí³name, pero no puedo recordar quien eres.
Por favor, busca tu foto en el paquete y devuelveme el resto.

Maria, please forgive me but I can’t remember who you are. Please search through the packet for your picture and send the rest back.

Llega una mujer a un bar completamente desnuda.
Entonces se sienta y la chica llama al mesero para decirle que le traiga un vino.
El mesero la queda mirando durante un buen rato, la chica lo queda mirando y le dice:
- ¿Que nunca has visto a una chica desnuda?
El mesero le responde:
- Si solamente estoy viendo de donde va a sacar el dinero

A woman walks into a bar, completely naked
she takes a seat and she calls the waiter to ask him to bring a cup of wine
The waiter stays staring for a while, the girl stares back and says;
“Have you never seen a naked girl?”
The waiter responds:
“yes, but I’m just waiting to see where you are going to take your money from.”

And as always, check out Bueno, entonces… to learn Spanish in the funnest and easiest way possible!

I stumbled across B.E. about a month and a half ago, I watched one episode and was hooked…David is an absolute riot…Jimena is a doll…and together, they are the perfect teacher/student combo…my husband gets annoyed bc I will not put my phone away…

Because you are hearing conversations and not sitting in front of the computer or with your nose in a book, each time you listen to an episode you learn both vocab and grammar without even knowing it.

Yes, it is fast paced but if you are truly dedicated to learning the beautiful language that is Spanish, and you want to do it quickly, it doesn’t matter….I listened to each lesson twice before moving on to the next…I had to make myself do this because not only are you learning Spanish quickly but at the same time you are dying to know what is going to happen btw David and Jimena…

B.E. is a new and engaging, revolutionary and hilarious approach to learning Spanish that I believe (and hope) will end up making history!
