Bob Marey

Bob Marey is a legend around the world. But it was a long journey from the poverty of Jamaica to international success. When he was a boy in the 1950s, Jamaica was still a British colony. It became independent in 1962. The culture was a mix of African traditions and British cusroms, but there were few opportunities for Afro-Jamaicans. One of them was music!

Bob Marey and the Wailers.
Bob's mother was Afro-Jamaicans and his father was a white Jamaican of English descent. Bob left school at age 14 and stared playing in a group called the Wailers. In their songs, they "wailed" about the condition of Afro-Jamaicans. They were very popilar in Jamaica.


Reggae in the 1960s.
Reggae was invented in Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1960s. Bob Marley created his own style of reggae. His songs make us want to dance, but they have a serious message: they talk about fighting for freedom from oppression.


Success begins.
In 1972, the Wailers recorded their first album, Catch a Frie, and toured Britain and the USA in 1973. They were the support act for another group. But the Wailers were fired after four shows: they were more popular than the main group!

No Woman, No Cry.
In 1974, the original Wailers broke up, but Bob Marley continued recording with other musicans and kept the group's name. They had their first UK to 40 hit with the single ''No Woman, No Cry'', in 1975. People everywhere loved reggae.

The legend continues.
Bob Marley and the Wailers became superstars. They released eleven albums in less than ten years and continued to play around the world untiel Bob's death Today, thirty years later, their music is timeless and universal. Bob Marley the legend is more popular than ever.

TRAILER:

Taylor Swift - Last Christmas.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shied
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying 'I love you', I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room and friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A girl on a cover but you tore her apart
Maybe this year
Maybe this year I'll give it to someone special

Cause last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

And last Christmas
And this year
It won't be anything like, anything like

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Transduction :  

El Nadal passada et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

Una vegada mossegat i va evitar dues vegades
Puc mantenir la meva distància, però encara captura del meu ull
Digues al meu nadó
Em reconeixes
Bé, ha estat un any, no em sorprèn
Bon Nadal, l'embolcallà i el va enviar
Amb una nota que deia "T'estimo", ho vaig dir de debò
Ara sé el ximple he estat
Però si em beses ara, sé que em ximple altra vegada

El Nadal passada et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

El Nadal passada et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

Una habitació plena de gent i amics amb ulls cansats
M'estic amagant de tu i de la teva ànima de gel
Déu meu, vaig pensar que eres algú en qui confiar
, Jo crec que va ser una espatlla per plorar
Una cara en un amant amb un foc en el seu cor
Una noia en una tapa però la va destrossar
Potser aquest any
Potser aquest any ho donaré a algú especial

Causa el Nadal passat et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

El Nadal passada et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

I l'últim Nadal
I aquest any
No serà una cosa així, una mena

El Nadal passada et vaig donar el meu cor
Però al dia següent, l'hi van regalar
Aquest any, per salvar de les llàgrimes
L'hi donaré a algú especial

Christmas carol.

Mariah Carey -  All Want for Christmas is you.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...

You baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby tome...
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You...

All I want for Christmas is you baby...[Repeat]

TRANSDUCTION:  

No vull molt per Nadal
Només hi ha una cosa que necessito
No m'importa sobre regals
Sota l'arbre de Nadal
Només et vull per al meu propi
Més del que podia saber
Fes que el meu desig es faci realitat ...
Tot el que vull per Nadal
És que ...

No vull molt per Nadal
Només hi ha una cosa que necessito
No m'importa sobre regals
Sota l'arbre de Nadal
No necessito penjar la meva mitja
Allà, sobre la xemeneia
Santa Claus no em farà feliç
Amb una joguina el dia de Nadal
Només et vull per al meu propi
Més del que podia saber
Fes que el meu desig es faci realitat
Tot el que vull per Nadal ets tu ...

El seu nadó
No vaig a demanar molt en aquest Nadal
Ni tan sols desig de neu
Només seguiré esperant
Per sota del vesc
No faré una llista i enviar-
Fins al Pol Nord de Sant Nicolau
Ni tan sols vaig a estar despert a
Feu clic a escoltar els rens màgics
Perquè jo només et vull aquí aquesta nit
Aferrar-se a mi amb tanta força
Què més puc fer
Bebè tot el que vull per Nadal ets tu
Vostè ...

Totes les llums estan brillant
Tan intensament a tot arreu
I el so dels nens
El riure omple l'aire
I tots canten
Sento sonar les campanes de trineu
Santa Claus no em vas a portar la que realment necessita
No si us plau, portar el meu bebè prengui ...
Oh, jo no vull molt per Nadal
Això és tot el que estic demanant
Jo només vull veure el nadó
A peu dret just davant la meva porta
Oh, jo només ho vull per al meu propi
Més del que podia saber
Fes que el meu desig es faci realitat
Bebè tot el que vull per Nadal és
Vostè ...

Tot el que vull per Nadal ets tu carinyo... [Repetir]
