Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos) CNCO Remark: For me, listening to Spanish songs is not only a hobby but also a practical way to practice my Spanish. Before I entered university, I didn't have the habit to listen to Spanish songs, instead, I was used to listening to English pop songs. It was not until I chose Spanish as my second foreign language did I start to search for some songs to keep my interest in the language.  Therefore, I find that the language is quite beautiful and sounds sexy. The music itself is also very passionate and powerful, making the audience feeling light-hearted and happy. The more I listen to Spanish songs, the more I fall in love with the language. Now I have my own blog so that I find another way to practice my language ability, that is translating lyrics. At first, I only do English songs since my Spanish was very poor. But now I have learned it for almost three years and I hope that I could be more fluent in Spanish so that I also try to translate some...

Kill This Love BLACKPINK - covered by Emma Heesters Lyrics from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4r4qTO6Pik Remark: The original version of this song is by BLACKPINK, a famous Korean girl group. Emma Heesters did the English version cover, who has covered other Korean pop songs, like those of BTS. I fell in love with the original piece when I first heard it. Although I almost didn’t know the meaning of this song since I didn't understand a single word of Korean, I was fond of its powerful beat, the memorable refrain, and their beautiful voice. That's why I felt excited when I found this version and immediately decided to try to translate it. From the lyrics, I came to realize that it describes a love which is passionate, dangerous and desperate. The relationship seems not really healthy, and the lovers often tend to hurt each other’s feelings as well. Maybe that’s the reason why the girl wants to break up with her lover and claims that they must kill the love first, ...

Sucker Jonas Brothers Remark: This song is performed by Jonas Brothers. From its title, we would expect that it's another love song. And it is. Moreover, it's a song talks about crazy love. Its lyrics uses a lot of metaphor and description, which make me could imagine the story and the protagonist's feeling well. For example, from "You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain", I know that the man can’t help himself but fall in love with the girl. His emotion depends on her attitude toward him, so sometimes she cures his pain like a medicine, but other times she hurt him like a knife. Still, he thinks about her all day long, and can’t get her out of his mind. Since he is so addicted to her, and his passion is so strong, he can’t help but do stupid crazy things even though he knows it makes him look like a fool. For instance, he claims that “You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly” and “Any road you take, you know that you'll...

Little Mix Think About Us Remark: This song, "Think About Us", is a song by Little Mix, a British pop girl group. And it is from their fifth album, LM5. The lyric discusses a kind of love that is passionate, sudden, yet insecurity. The girl in the lyric seems to meet a boy in a club, and it is the love at first sight. But when they apart, she can't figure out the relationship is serious or not. On one hand, she can't get rid of him and keep on thinking about him and their future. On the other hand, she wonders if she is the only one who cares this love, which is like dew, easily disappears. She keeps asking her lover, “Do you think about us?" In my opinion, she not only refers to their passion and their one night stand but also talks about their future. Fortunately, the lyrics leave an open ending and imply that the love still has its possibility, not necessarily a tragedy. I think this song shows young people' Love vividly. First, they might fall in lo...
