Thursday Music Mini-Lesson: Born To Die by Lana del Rey

Good morning, dear students!

I have a cool lyrics video for you today.  I hope you enjoy the song, and more importantly, I hope you learn some new vocabulary or phrases!

The song is ''Born to Die'', by Lana del Rey.


Let's look at a few important notes:

1) Remember that in English, ''Nacer'' is ''To be born''.  In Spanish, the verb is the action of a baby.  In English, it is something that happens to us, but not something that we actively do.  So I can say that my baby will be born in the summer, or that I was born in November.  The important thing to remember is that along with ''born'', we must put some version of ''to be''.

2) ''In the meantime'':  translation
3) ''The pouring rain'':  translation


What did you think of the song?  Did you have any other vocabulary words or phrases that you didn't understand?  Leave your questions and opinions of the song in the comments, and we can talk about it in our next class!

Happy Thursday and happy studying!
