Play with me, please!
A twist on those name that tune thread. Post a well known and easily recognizable song in a language other than English. We guess the title and artist-- along with the translation. Here are mine-- (there will be mistakes, I am not so fluent.)
1. A el camino, Juan y no regresse nunca, nunca, nunca, nunca. A el camino, Juan y no regresse nunca.
2. You quiero rocar y rollar toda el noche
Y gozar todo el dia.
3. Y el reinar para siempre y siempre
Rel del Reyes y Senior de Seniores.
4. Ahora mismo, el hermano del alma canguelo.
5. Lo hice para la chocha
Y tu puedo cojer ese galleta
y mente lo en su— si!

Te cano patria
Candida, libera
Te referet

Sursum longe lateque
In saccum meum
Aeris calidi

Minha cabeca ficou pesada, minha vista embaçada…[/list=1]
