De Ellos Aprendí Lyrics in English by David Rees
This incredibly long and fun word is the Spanish equivalent of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins. It's a playful and whimsical word that immediately brings to mind childhood magic and wonder.
Its inclusion in the lyrics, alongside other famous movie quotes, highlights the song's theme of learning life lessons from beloved fictional heroes. It's a truly unique and memorable word that will definitely make learners curious!
This song is a beautiful tribute to the animated movies that many of us grew up with! David Rees calls the characters his "héroes / Que me vieron crecer" (heroes / who watched me grow up), and he's collected all the best life lessons they taught him into one song. It's like a big, warm hug from your childhood.
He strings together famous lines one after another, creating a guide to living a good life. You'll hear advice like "hay personas por las que vale la pena derretirse" (there are people worth melting for) from Frozen and the classic "Hakuna matata, vive y deja" (Hakuna matata, live and let live) from The Lion King. He also includes reminders to be yourself, like "Aférrate a aquello que te hace diferente" (Hold on to what makes you different), and to keep going when things get tough with a simple "Sigue nadando" (Just keep swimming). It's a celebration of the simple, powerful messages found in these stories, reminding us that "la magia es de verdad" (magic is real).
