🎵 10 Canciones para aprender inglés (B1 y B2)

Hola a todos,

¿Habéis saludado ya a Octubre por todas las redes sociales? 🙂 Nosotros sí, pero solo en Facebook, y es que Septiembre es un mes muy estresante, preferimos Octubre que es así, como más tranquilito. Pero nuestro post de hoy no es para nada tranquilito, no, no, este post viene cargado de música, y de la buena oye! Os traemos canciones fáciles en inglés para que aprender inglés con canciones se convierta en realidad.

La semana pasada os pusimos 10 canciones para los estudiantes de los niveles A1 y A2 de inglés, y esta semana hemos subido un escalón más y hemos llegado a las canciones destinadas para los estudiantes de los niveles B1 y B2. 

También, en el post anterior, jugamos con vosotros al robar algunas palabras de los lyrics (letras) de las canciones, ¿os pareció más difícil así? O ¿preferís que sigamos con el juego? Ante la duda de lo que os parezca mejor, en este post con canciones para aprender ingles b1 y b2 lo vamos a hacer de manera diferente y solo pondremos el texto al completo. Si para el siguiente post, preferís que sigamos con el juego, abajo en comentarios, podéis comentarlo.

¿Recordáis cuales son las pautas que os dimos en el anterior post para hacer más óptimo el aprendizaje?

1. Oír primero la letra, viendo que se entiende  y que no.
2. Oír de nuevo la letra con el texto delante para ir leyendo a la vez y rellenando los huecos.
3. Oír (sí, por tercera vez la letra), e intentar ir cantándola a la vez.

Pues ahora, pasemos a ver cuales han sido las 10 canciones escogidas para ayudar a nuestro listening.

1. Rolling in the Deep (Adele)

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
[Clean version:] Go ‘head and sell me out and I’ll lay your ship bare
[Explicit version:] Go ‘head and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it’s bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one on you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there
As mine sure won’t be shared

(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it, with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (woah)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
You’ll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

2. Empire State of Mind (Alicia Keys feat Jay Z)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4tqij8zsOU

Atención: La parte del rapero Jay Z, evidentemente no es para un B1-B2 porque el chico canta que se las pela. Es Alicia Keys quien se adapta a este nivel.

Yea, yea I’m out that Brooklyn, now I’m down in Tribeca

Right next to DeNiro, but I’ll be hood forever
I’m the new Sinatra, and, since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere I used to cop in Harlem,
All of my Dominicano’s right there up on Broadway,
Pull me back to that McDonald’s, took it to my stashbox, 560 State St.
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons wippin’ pastry’s
Cruisin’ down 8th St., off white Lexus
Drivin’ so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I’m out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say whattup to Ty-Ty, still sippin’ Mai Tai’s
Sittin’ courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high five
Nigga I be Spike’d out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I’m most definitely from

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothin’ you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain’t a Crip though
But I got a gang of niggas walkin’ with my clique though
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin’ rock
Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
For foreigners it ain’t for, they act like they forgot how to act
Eight million stories, out there in it naked
City is a pity, half of y’all won’t make it
Me, I got a plug, Special Ed «I Got It Made»
If Jesus payin’ Lebron, I’m payin’ Dwayne Wade
Three dice cee-lo, three card monte
Labor Day Parade, rest in peace Bob Marley
Statue of Liberty, long live the World Trade
Long live the King yo, I’m from the Empire St. that’s

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothin’ you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York

Lights is blinding, girls need blinders
So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is
Lined with casualties, who sip to life casually
Then gradually become worse, don’t bite the apple, Eve
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you’re in style
End of the winter gets cold, en vogue, with your skin out
City of sin, it’s a pity on the whim
Good girls gone bad, the city’s filled with them
Mommy took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you’re a virgin
And Jesus can’t save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin’ like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothin’ you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all lookin’ pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air everybody say yeah, yeah,
Yea, yea

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothin’ you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York

3. A Sky full of Stars (ColdPlay)

Cause you´re a sky
Cause you´re a sky full of stars
I´m going to give you my heart
Cause you´re a sky
Cause you´re a sky full of stars
And cause you light up the path

I don´t care
Gon on altear us apart
I don´t care if you do
Cause in a sky
Cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

Cause you´re a sky
Cause you´re a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms, arms
Cause you get lighter the more it gets darks
I´m going to give you my heart
And I don´t care
Go on and tear me apart
I don´t care if you do
Cause in a sky
Cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

Because you´re a sky
You´re a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
It´s such a heavenly view

4. Stupid Little THings (Anastacia)

Stuck on the wrong side of heaven
But I did it to myself
I did it to myself
Traded in my forever
But I did it to myself
I did it to myself

When I get too close to my someday
Every time I blow it away
Praying I will come to my senses
Won’t be my own worst enemy

And I put my heart back together
Yeah I put my heart back together

Now I know what love is worth in a broken world
But I can’t get past the hurt
‘Til I give up on these stupid little things
I’m so hung up on these stupid little things
That keep me from you

Treated love like a bad religion
Yeah I did it to myself
I did it to myself
But I won’t stay here unforgiven
When I did it to myself
I did it to myself

When I get too close to my someday
Every time I blow it away
Praying I will come to my senses
Won’t be my own worst enemy

And I put my heart back together
I said, I put my heart back together

Now I know what love is worth in a broken world
But I can’t get past the hurt
‘Til I give up on these stupid little things
I’m so hung up on these stupid little things
That keep me from you

Now I know what love is worth in a broken world
But I can’t get past the hurt
‘Til I give up on these stupid little things
I’m so hung up on these stupid little things
That keep me from you

Hey, hey

Living in a world of fantasy
There is nothing left of me
Now I gotta face reality
Hold on trying to believe
I don’t want to give up on you

Now I know what love is worth in a broken world
But I can’t get past the hurt
‘Til I give up on these stupid little things
I’m so hung up on these stupid little things
That keep me from you
keep me from you
keep me from you
keep me from you

‘Til I give up on these stupid little things
I’m so hung up on these stupid little things

That keep me from you, yea, yeah oh
That keep me from you you you you yeah

5. I Gotta Feeling (The Black Eyed Peas)

I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night, a feeling (bis)

Tonight’s the night night
Let’s live it up
I’ve got my money
Let’s spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like all my Gods
Jump off that sofa
Let’s get get off

I know that we’ll have a ball
If we get down
And go out
And just loose it all
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And losing all control

Fill up my cup
Mozoltov!
Look at her dancing
Just take it off
Lets paint the town
We’ll shut it down
Let’s burn the roof
And then we’ll do it again

Lets do it (bis)
And live it up
Lets do it (bis)

I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night, a feeling
That tonight’s gonna be a good night (bis)
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night, a feeling

Tonight’s the night
Let’s live it up
I’ve got my money
Lets spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like all my gods
Jump off that sofa (come on!)
Lets get get off

Fill up my cup (dry!)
Mozoltov
Look at her dancing (move it, move it!)
Just take it off
Lets paint the town
We’ll shut it down
Lets burn the roof
And then we’ll do it again

Lets do it (bis)
Let’s live it up
Lets do it…
Here we come
Here we go
We gotta rock
Easy come
Easy go
Now we on top
Feel the shot
Body rock
Rock it, don’t stop
Round and round
Up and down
Around the clock

Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday
Friday, Saturday
Saturday to Sunday

Get get get get get with us
You know what we say
Party every day
Party every day

And I’m feeling
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good night
That tonight’s gonna be a good good night (bis)

6. Wonderwall (Oasis)

Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Back beat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don’t know how

Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me

7. Love me like you do (Ellie Goulding)

You’re the light, you’re the night
You’re the color of my blood
You’re the cure, you’re the pain
You’re the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You’re the fear, I don’t care
Cause I’ve never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I’ve got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I’ll let you set the pace
Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Yeah, I’ll let you set the pace
Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do, love me like you do
Love me like you do, love me like you do
Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

8. We are never ever getting back together (Taylor Swift)

I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, «This is it, I’ve had enough,» ‘cause like
We hadn’t seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
«Baby, I miss you and I swear I’m gonna change, trust me.»
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, «I hate you,» we break up, you call me, «I love you.»

Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I’m telling you, I’m telling you

We are never ever ever getting back together,
We are never ever ever getting back together,
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Like, ever…

I’m really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for it screaming that I’m right
And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine

Ooh, you called me up again tonight
But ooh, this time I’m telling you, I’m telling you

We are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

Ooh, yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Oh oh oh

I used to think that we were forever ever
And I used to say, «Never say never…»
Uggg… so he calls me up and he’s like, «I still love you,»
And I’m like… «I just… I mean this is exhausting, you know, like,
We are never getting back together. Like, ever»

No!

We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

We, ooh, getting back together, ohhh,
We, ooh, getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

9. Your song (Moulin Rouge)

My gift is my song
and this one’s for you
and you can tell everybody
that this is your song
it maybe quite simple
but now that it’s done
hope you don’t mind
i hope you don’t mind
that i put down in words
how wonderful life is now you’re in the world
Sat on the roof
and i kicked off the moss
well some of the verses well
they got me quite cross
but the sun’s been kind
while i wrote this song
it’s for people like you that
keep it turned on
So excuse me for forgetting
but these things i do
you see i’ve forgotten
if they’re green or they’re blue
anyway the thing is what i really mean
yours are the sweetest eyes i’ve ever seen
(allesandro- opera)
And you can tell everybody
this is your song
it may be quite simple
but now that it’s done
i hope you don’t mind
i hope you don’t mind that i put down in words
How wonderful life is now you’re in the world
i hope you don’t mind
i hope you don’t mind that i put down in words
how wonderful life is now you’re in the world

10. She will be loved (Maroon 5)

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow I want more

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
It’s compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door’s always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Yeah

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah, yeah.

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye.
