Lyrics in English and Spanish


Angels / Robbie William

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old

'Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

De nuevo tú te cuelas en mis huesos
Dejándome tu beso
Junto al corazón
Y otra vez tú, abriéndome tus alas me sacas
de las malas rachas de dolor
Por que tú eres el ángel que quiero yo

Cuando eso es fallar
ya no sé que hacer
Ni a donde ir
Me fijo en ti
Y te siento cerca
pensando en mi

El cuerpo se me va
hacia donde tú estás
Mi vida cambió
El ángel que quiero yo

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call, she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

(Instrumental Break) 

De nuevo tú te cuelas en mis huesos
Dejándome tu beso
Junto al corazón
Y otra vez tú, abriéndome tus alas me sacas
de las malas rachas de dolor
Por que tú eres el ángel que quiero yo

Homework:
If you were absent on Monday, April 30th, you need to complete this homework for Thursday, May 3rd, 2018.
Copy the Vocabulary and Spelling Words Lesson 23 in the corresponding notebook. Then, in the journal write a short story (half a page at least) with as many Vocabulary and Spelling words as possible. Make sure you underline the words that you use, and illustrate your work. :) Remember that if you don't have the notebooks with you, you can do the work on a piece of paper and then paste it in your notebooks.

Note: I know some of you have had problems logging into the Cambridge Online Program. I have received a mail confirming that there have been some errors. They don't say, however, what the problem is exactly. Please keep trying, I have already opened and reopened Unit 3 three times. I hope that helps. I will check upto Unit 6 by Friday. If you encounter any problems, take a picture of it and send it to me. Thank you.
