Strangers in the Night

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances [glɑːns] (обмениваться) (быстрый взгляд)
Wondering ['wɔndə] in the night (бродить, странствовать, скитаться)
What were the chances
We'd be sharing [ʃeə] love (разделять)
Before the night was through [θruː] (проходить)

Something in your eyes
Was so inviting [ɪn'vaɪtɪŋ] (приглашать; привлекать)
Something in your smile
Was so exciting [ɪk'saɪtɪŋ ] (возбуждающий, волнующий)
Something in my heart
Told me I must have you (tell - told-told)

Strangers in the night
Two lonely ['ləunlɪ] people (РѕРґРёРЅРѕРєРёР№)
We were strangers in the night
Until [ʌn'tɪl] the moment (РґРѕ)
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance [glɑːns] away (быстрый взгляд)
A warm embracing [ɪm'breɪs] dance away (обниматься)

And ever since that night (с тех пор)
We've been together
Lovers at first sight [saɪt] (зрение, взгляд)
In love for ever (навсегда)
It turned out so right (оказываться, выходить так)
For strangers in the night

Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away [ɪm'breɪs]

Ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love for ever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night

Feelings

Feelings, nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my feelings of love
Teardrops rolling down on my face
Trying to forget my feelings of love

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl
You'll never come again
Feeling, woo-o-o feeling
Woo-o-o, feel you again in my arms

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my heart

Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it
I wish I've never met you, girl;
You'll never come again

Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like I'll never have you again in my life

Feelings, woo-o-o feeling it,
woo-o-o, feeling again in my arms
Feelings

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas [ˌhɪpə'pɔtəməs]
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas [ˌhɪpə'pɔtəməs]
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? (возражать) ['sæntə klɔːz]
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue (дымоход) ['ʧɪmnɪ fluː]
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do [frʌnt]


I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs (creep-crept-crept ползать)
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there ['hɪpəu]


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas [ˌhɪpə'pɔtəməs]
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles ['krɔkədaɪl], no rhinoceroses [raɪ'nɔs(ə)rəs] (РЅРѕСЃРѕСЂРѕРі)
I only like hippopotamuses [ˌhɪpə'pɔtəməsəs]
And hippopotamuses like me too


Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian [ˌveʤɪ'teərɪən]


There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage ['gærɑːʒ]
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage ['mæsɑːʒ] (feed-fed-fed кормить)
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles ['krɔkədaɪl], no rhinoceroses [raɪ'nɔs(ə)rəs] (РЅРѕСЃРѕСЂРѕРі)
I only like hippopotamuseses [ˌhɪpə'pɔtəməsəs]
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Есть такой чудесный фильм - Groundhog Day, с Биллом Мюрреем и Энди МакДауэлл.

Р’ фильме есть роскошсная сцена зажора героя Билла, Фила РљРѕРЅРЅРѕСЂСЃР°. Р�менно поэтому фильм столь близок нам, дионикам. Дело РїСЂРѕРёСЃС…РѕРґРёС‚ РІ кабаке "РўРёРє-так", РіРґРµ РІСЃРµ часы - стоят. РљР°Рє СЏ завидую Филу - жри СЃРєРѕРєР° хошь Рё чего хошь - Р·Р° РѕРґРёРЅ день РЅРµ растолстеешь! РќРѕ Рё РЅРµ похудеешь. )))

Сюда постирую замечательную песню из этого фильма. Прекрасные, нежные и сильные стихи, зажигательная мелодия. Под неё, кстати, очень хорошо идёт фитнесс, мдас.

�так:

Weatherman

Predictions show a steady low.
You're feeling just the same.
But seasons come and seasons go.
I'll make you smile again.

If you don't believe me,
Take me by the hand.
Can't you feel you're warming up?
Yeah, I'm your weatherman.

Cold winds blowin'.
Snow is drivin' everyone insane.
Hard rain's fallin'.
Pitter-patter down your windowpane.

If precipitation is spoilin' all your plans,
just call information up
ask for the weatherman.

Ask for the weatherman.

They say it's gone say winter's done.
That don't mean a thing.
Cause I'm the one that moves the sun.
For you I'd turn it into spring.

So if you're feeling lonely
try to understand:
Baby, I can warm you up,
'cause I'm your weatherman.

(Just ask the weatherman.)
(Just ask the weatherman.)
'cause I'm your weatherman.
(Just ask the weatherman.)
(Just ask the weatherman.)
Baby
(Just ask the weatherman.)
Try to understand
(Just ask the weatherman.)

Mmmmmmm!

So when you're feeling lonely,
try to understand:
Baby, I can warm you up,
'cause I'm the weatherman.

When it's cold outside. (Just ask the weatherman)
I'm your weatherman.
When it's cold outside. (Just ask the weatherman)
I can warm you up. (Just ask the weatherman)
I can do it baby. (Just ask the weatherman)

Take care!)))

Yours sincerely,

Titanic Lumberjack

hi, may I?

Firework (оригинал Katy Perry)

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin (тонкий)
like a house of cards,
one blow (дуть) from caving in (обрушиваться, обваливаться -> сущ)?

Do you ever feel already buried (хоронить) deep?
6 feet (1,829 м.) under screams but no one seems (казаться) to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark (РёСЃРєСЂР°) in you

You just gotta ignite (воспламенять [ɪg'naɪt]), the light, and let it shine (сиять)
Just own (владеть) the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em (them) what you're worth (стоить)
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot (выстрелить) across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst (взрываться)
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave (оставлять) 'em falling (падать) down-awe-awe

You don't have to feel like a waste (впустую тратить) of space (пустое место)
You're original, cannot be replaced (замещённый)
If you only knew what the future holds (держать)
After a hurricane (['hʌrɪkən ]) comes a rainbow (радуга)

Maybe your reason (причина) why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning (молния) bolt (удар), your heart will glow-светиться (или blow-взрываться)
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling awe-awe-awe

---

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter (ярче) than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough (пропускать)

Если кто хочет послушать или попеть детские песни на англ. яз., вот ссылка

Раз уж здесь учат аглицкий, дайте и я внесу свои пять копеек.

Песня Онли Ю, которая здесь опубликована... гкхм... никогда не принадлежала Элвису Пресли. Авторы известнейшего и бессмертнейшего хита, столь способствующего пох.процессу - кто-то из музыкантов ныне почти забытой на российских просторах группы Платтерс. Ммм... не могу с ходу вспомнить, кто именно (видно, вчерашний недобор белков и перебор самого калорийного, не относящегося к БЖУ, нынче сказывается). А ежели кто решил подучить английский, нужно чуть внимательнее отнестись к тому, что и как делается в англоязычных странах... а особ - что и как поётся.

Ещё хочу заметить, что после модальных глаголов частица "ту" не ставится. В тексте оригинала песни её, естественно, и нет. Но ошибка, проникшая в эту тему, кочует с одного "русского" сайта на другой.

А ить что роднит любителей английского с любителями худеть (годами)? - Внимательность! � ещё раз внимательность. В некоторых версиях вокала этой песни, действительно, можно расслышать между "кэн" и "мэйк" некое слово... фривольно сбивающее ритм. Но только это не "ту", а "ду", которая в данном контексте выступает усилительной частицей.

Р�нтересно, Р° как это РіСЂСѓРїРїРµ удаётся без бана нарушать запрет РЅР° посты РЅР° РёРЅ.языках РЅР° нашем сайте?  Щасливые люди РІ этой РіСЂСѓРїРїРµ - тут СЏРІРЅРѕ пахнет блатом среди модераторов.

Мои посты хатяп с одним аглицким, украинским или белорусским словом забанены практически все.

Короче, рад за всех, друзья.

Жалко, что во время Элвиса Пресли не было нашего сайта, тогда певец не растолстел бы неимоверно и не помер до срока((((

Короче, за данную консультацию с рук.группы - 333Кк в форме самого калорийного, но не БЖУ.

Я давно похудал и на сайт захожу очень редко. Но, когда загляну, буду заглядывать и учить английский.

I'm Too Sexy (оригинал Right Said Fred)

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts (hurt - причинять боль)
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan

And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn (РїРѕРІРѕСЂРѕС‚) on the catwalk (РїРѕРґРёСѓРј)
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk

I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
(явно, общепризнанно)

And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn (РїРѕРІРѕСЂРѕС‚) on the catwalk (РїРѕРґРёСѓРј)

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning (молния) strikes (наносить удар) me
And I wake to find that you're not there
 
What have I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
 
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd (абсурдный)
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What have I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

I Will Always Love You

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go but I know I'll think of you
every step of the way.

And I will always love you.
Will always love you.

You, my darling you. Mmmm.

Bittersweet memories, (Bitter - горький; memory - воспоминание)
That is all I'm taking with me.
So goodbye, please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

I hope life treats you kind, (treat -обходиться)
And I hope you have
All you've dreamed of.
And I wish you joy
And happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love. (above all - прежде всего)

And I will always love you.
I will always love you...
I will always love you..

�_талия, какие забытые песни, у меня ностальгия...

You`ll See

You think that I can`t live without (без) your love
You`ll see,
You think I can`t go on another day.
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side (сторона),
You`ll see
Somehow (каким-либо образом), some way

You think that I can never laugh (смеятся) again
You`ll see,
You think that you destroyed (уничтожать) my faith (вера) in love.
You think after all you`ve done (перфект)
I`ll never find my way back home,
You`ll see
Somehow, someday

All by myself
I don`t need anyone at all
I know I`ll survive (выживать)
I know I`ll stay alive (живой),
All on my own (собственный)
I don`t need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You`ll see

You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You`ll see,
It takes more strength to cry, admit (признавать) defeat (проигрыш).
I have truth (правда) on my side,
You only have deceit (обман)
You`ll see, somehow, someday

All by myself
I don`t need anyone at all
I know I`ll survive
I know I`ll stay alive,
I`ll stand on my own
I won`t need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You`ll see

You`ll see, you`ll see

Happy New Year (оригинал Abba, 1980)

No more champagne
And the fireworks (фейерверк) are through (через)
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue (грустный)
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems (казаться) so grey
So unlike (непохожий на) yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May (мочь) we all have a vision (видение, вид) now and then (потом)
Of a world where every neighbour (сосед) is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May (мочь) we all have our hopes, our will (сила воли) to try (попытаться)
If we don't we might (мочь) as well (также, тоже) lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the Brave (также, отличный) New World arrives (прибывать)
And I see how it thrives (процветать)
In the ashes (зола, останки, прах) of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on (скучно тянуться), feet of clay (глина)
Never knowing he's astray (сбившись с пути)
Keeps on (продолжать) going anyway (что бы то ни было)...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems (казаться) to me now
That the dreams, we had before (до, раньше)
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade (десятилетие)
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies (лежать) waiting down the line (черта)
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Elvis Presley — Only You

Only you can to make all this wealth (богатство) seem (казаться) bright,
Only you can to make the darkness fright (бояться),
Only you and you alone can thrill (дрожь) me like you do,
And to fill (наполнять) my heart with love for only you.

Only you can to make all this change (изменения) in me,
For it’s true - you are my destiny (СЃСѓРґСЊР±Р°).
When you hold (держать) my hand I understand the magic (волшебство) that you do
You’re my dream come true, my one and only you.

Only you can to make all this change in me,
For, it’s true - you are my destiny.
When you hold my hand I understand the magic that you do

You’re my dream come true, my one and only you!

Sing it back

Bring it back,
sing it back,
bring it back,
sing it back to me

When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you wish
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Bring it back,
sing it back,
bring it back,
sing it back to me

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

Bring it back,
sing it back,
bring it back,
sing it back to me

Bring it back,
sing it back,
bring it back,
sing it back to me

Come to my sweet melody
No, you can't help it if you feel have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)

Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

'Zat You, Santa Claus?'
(оригинал Louis Armstrong)

'Zat You, Santa Claus?

Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing (раздача),
But I pause because,
Hanging my stocking (чулок) I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest (слегка) spark (искра) out.
Pardon my clackin' (треск) jaws
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Are you bringing a present for me,
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
Then it's just what I've been waiting for.
Would you mind slipping (плавно сбрасывать) it under the door?

Cold winds are howling (вой - хаул), or could that be growling (рык - граул)?
My legs feel like straws (солома).
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

I say, who's there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?

Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare (страх).
Now stop teasing (дразнить) cause I know you're there.
We don't believe in no goblins today,
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way.

Bet (могу поспорить) I can see old Santa in the keyhole.
I'll get to the cause (причина).
One peek (быстрый взгляд) and I'll try there; oh oh, there's an eye there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Please, please, I pity (жалко) my knees!
Say that's you, Santa Claus!
That's him alright
