Like many others, I sat through three years of Spanish language classes in junior high school. What did I learn?
I can say hello, how are you, and my name is .....
Then it didn't matter as I had no use for Spanish. I lived in an all white, English-speaking, small town in America. Times have changed. Now many places of employment require their employees, especially those in customer service, to be bi-lingual.
So back to school, at night, with other like-minded adults. My instructor, a native speaker, would like us to learn to speak correctly. So with that in mind, she sent us to YouTube. Our homework, to sing along with very specific videos.
Check back here. I will post links to some of those videos, along with the words so you can sing along, too.
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Where are you, where are you, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
What happened, what happened, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
I looked for you, I looked for you, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas, Yolanda
And you are not there, you are not there, Yolanda
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Tus ojos me miraron
Your eyes looked at me
Tus labios me besaron
Your lips kissed me
Con ese fuego ardiente
With that flaming fire
Ardiente de mujer
Flame of a woman
La luz de tu mirada
The light of your eyes
El fuego de tus labios
The flame of your eyes
Flecharon a mi pecho y de ti me enamore
Targeted my chest and I fell in love with you
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Dikedikeda!!
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Me dicen que paseabas
They tell me you were taking a ride
En un carro Yolanda
In a car Yolanda
Muy guapo Y arrogante
Very good looking and arrogant
Y todos te silbaban
And everyone whistled at you.
Si un dia te encontrara
If someday I find you
No se que puedo hacer
I don't know what I can do
No se me vuelvo loco
I don't know, I get crazy
Si ya no te vuelvo a ver
If I don't see you any more
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda
Que paso, que paso, Yolanda
Te busque, te busque, Yolanda
Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda.
