#SpanishThroughSongs

I'm currently learning a new song in Spanish — a cover of Toss a Coin to Your Witcher. I love covers. And especially the Witcher theme. Great series, movie, games, books. I'm really looking forward to the next season ⚕

I don't use a notebook, I don't write down new words. Just as I thought — it's slow. You need to memorize quickly, visually and easily. The simpler, the better. Actually, I'm learning several songs at once. I listen to them on repeat, spend about an hour on it total. The words stick. The learning process is interesting. I recommend this method to everyone. Especially with new languages.

By the way, it's good to learn a language by connecting it to some other language you already know. I, for example, sometimes use an English-Spanish translator. First, it improves your main foreign language too, second, new neural bridges form — not only between Russian and Spanish, but also between English and Spanish. The memory becomes more stable then.

Below is the song text:

1 - Spanish version;
2 - English version;
3 - word-for-word translation from Spanish to Russian.

"LANZA AL BRUJO MONEDAS"
"TOSS A COIN TO YOUR WITCHER"
"ВЕДЬМАКУ ЗАПЛАТИТЕ ЧЕКАННОЙ МОНЕТОЙ"

VERSE:

Cuando un bardo va
When a humble bard
When a bard goes

Lleno de emoción
Graced a ride along
full of emotion

Junto a Geralt de Rivia
With Geralt of Rivia
Alongside Geralt of Rivia

Entona esta canción
Along came this song
sing this song

El lobo se enfrentó
From when the White Wolf fought
the wolf faced

Al diablo gris
A silver-tongued devil
the gray devil

Los elfos mostraron
His army of elves
The elves showed

Una rebelión
At his hooves did they revel
a rebellion

Vinieron a por mi
They came after me
They came for me

Con determinación
With masterful deceit
with determination

Adiós al laúd y
Broke down my lute
Farewell to the lute and

A mi bendición
And they kicked in my teeth
to my blessing

Los cuernos trocearán
While the devil's horns
The horns will chop

Nuestra carne así
Minced our tender meat
our flesh like that

El brujo gritaba
And so cried the Witcher
the witch/warlock cried

Vas a morir
He can't be bleat
You will die

CHORUS:

Lanza al brujo monedas
Toss a coin to your Witcher
Throw coins to the warlock

Oh, valle opulento
Oh, Valley of Plenty
Oh, opulent valley

Oh, valle opulento
Oh, oh, oh
Lanza al brujo monedas
Oh, valle opulento

VERSE:

Del mundo en el confín,
At the edge of the world
Of the world at the edge,

A unos cuernos retó
Fight the mighty horde
He challenged some horns

Con golpes y palos
That bashes and breaks you
With blows and sticks

Él se derrumbo
And brings you to mourn
he collapsed

Siempre confío
He thrust every elf
I always trust

En los elfos que encontró
Far back on the shelf
In the elves he found

Allí en la cima
High up on the mountain
There at the top

Lo comprobó
From whence it came
he checked it

El ayer borro,
He wiped out your pest
He erased yesterday,

Más no le juzguéis
Got kicked in his chest
But do not judge him

Del humano es amigo,
He's a friend of humanity
Of man he is a friend,

Dona todo a él
So give him the rest
Donate everything to him

Mi fabula es así,
That's my epic tale
My fable is like this,

Cual as se reveló
Our champion prevailed
Like an ace was revealed

El vil derrotado,
Defeated the villain
The vile one defeated,

Brindemos por él
Now pour him some ale
Let's toast to him
