Songs for your wedding

Cómo va la semana?

Yo ya estoy tachando del calendario los días que quedan para disfrutar de unas muy merecidas vacaciones. Y vosotr@s?

Mientras llega ese momento vamos a seguir con nuestras ideas y descubrimientos.

Siempre que organizo una boda o cuando alguna amiga se casa una de las preguntas que siempre me hacen es respecto a la música. Se encuentran ante un mundo lleno de posibilidades sin saber cuál elegir. Me refiero a esa música que hará el momento especial. Si te casas por lo civil puedes utilizar varias piezas durante la ceremonia, si lo haces por el rito católico entonces las posibilidades se reducen al momento de entrar en el salón donde vaya a celebrarse el banquete y la apertura del baile.

Si la pareja tiene alguna canción importante en su vida y significativa entonces la decisión está bastante claro. Pero seamos sinceros... no son muchas las parejas que recuerdan alguna canción especial que haya marcado su relación (eso es más de películas románticas). Así que surge la gran indecisión y agobio (sobre todo por parte de las novias) cuando se acerca el gran momento y no han tenido un momento libre para buscar esas canciones que signifiquen algo especial. Si cuidamos los detalles de la decoración, el vestido, los zapatos, el menú... ¿por qué no dedicarle también el tiempo que se merece a seleccionar la música?

Para aquellos indecis@s que aún no lo tienen claro os traigo una selección de canciones para ayudaros e inspiraros. Quizá podáis utilizar alguna de ellas u os ayude a encontrar vuestra canción. Principalmente las he elegido porque si prestamos atención a la letra son declaraciones de amor en toda regla y tienen un profundo significado. Todas están en inglés así que si tenéis la oportunidad mientras suena la música sería fantástico si de alguna manera pudierais proyectar la letra tanto en el idioma original como su traducción (para aquellos que no sepan inglés!), así a todo el mundo llegará vuestro mensaje de amor.

Qué romántica me he puesto!! Vamos a ello...

Para empezar un clásico, "Endless Love" de Lionel Richie y Diana Ross.

Hi dears!

One question always make me brides and grooms when I plann a wedding is which song could we use for the ceremony, and for the ball? All couples want to have this special moment. If they have a significant song that means something important to them there is no problems! But this is usually a magical moment that only occurs in films. You have to take care about all details (dress, menu, decoration, etc.) including music.

Today I have a little selection for you of some romantic songs. I use to pay attention to lyrics and what the song want to say to us.

First of all, a classic song by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, "Endless Love".

My love,

there's only you in my life

the only thing that's right.

My first love,

you're every breath that I take

you're every step that I make.

And I

I want to share

All my love with you

No one else will do...

And your eyes

your eyes, your eyes

They tell me how much you care

ooh yes, you will always be

my endless love.

Two hearts,

two hearts that beat as one

our lives have just begun.

Forever

Ohhhhh

I'll hold you close in my arms

I can't resist your charms.

And love

Oh, love

I'll be a fool

for you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind.

Cause you,

you mean the world to me, oh

I know

I know

I've found in you

my endless love.

Oooh-woow

Oooh, love

Oh, love

I'll be that fool

for you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind

And, yes

you'll be the only one

'cause no one can deny

this love I have inside.

And I'll give it all to you

My love

My love, my love

My endeless love

Quizá suene demasiado cursi y muy típico, pero yo sigo sin resistirme a los encantos de Dirty Dancing y de Patrick Swayze cantando "The time of my life", para mi una elección segura!

Maybe it is quite twee but I love Dirty Dancing, I love Patrick Swayze and I love "The time of my life".

 Now I have had the time of my life

no I never felt like this before

yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you.

I have been waiting for so long

now I have finally someone

to stand by me.

We saw the writing on the wall

as we felt this magical fantasy.

Now with passion in our eyes

there's no way we could disguise it secretly

so we take each other's hand

case we seem to understand the urgency.

Just remember.

I can't get enough of.

So I will tell you something

this could be love because

I have had the time of my life

no I never felt like this before

yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you.

With my body and soul

I want you more than you'll ever know

so we'll just let it go

don't be afraid to lose control.

Yes I know whats on your mind

when you say:

"stay with me tonight".

Just remember.

I can't get enough of.

So I will tell you something

this could be love because

I have had the time of my life

no I never felt like this before

yes I swear it's the truth

and I owe it all to you.

I have had the time of my life

and I have searched through every open door

till I found the truth

and I owe it al to you.

Otra canción que me parece preciosa aunque tiene un toque triste es "I'll stand by you" de The Pretenders. Refleja perfectamente lo que una persona que te ama quiere hacer cuando da el sí quiero, estar a tu lado para apoyarte y quererte, y la amistad es la base sobre la que sustentar una pareja.

Another song that I like the most, despite it is quite sad as well, is "I'll stand by you". It is sincere friendship, one of the bases of every couple.

Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes

Come on and come to me now

don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

'cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could meake me love you less

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads

And don't know which path to choose

Let me come along

'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll neer deser you

I'll stand by you

And when...

When the night falls on you, baby

You're felling all alone

Yo won't be on your own

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll neve deser you

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Si te apetece darle un toque más actual puedes optar por la canción "Marry you" de Bruno Mars. Y en lugar de dejaros con el video oficial, disfrutemos de otra de esas ideas con las que todas soñamos alguna vez...

An authentic proposal is Bruno Mars' song "Marry you". Instead of the official video I want to share this real proposal, that all of us have dremed at least for once.

It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you

Well, I know this little chapel

On the boulevard we can go

No one will know

Oh, come on girl

Who cares if we're trashed

Got a pocket full of cash we can blow

Shots of patron

And it's on, girl

Don't say no, no, no, no, no

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And we'll go, go, go, go, go

If you're ready, like I'm ready

'Cause it's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you

I'll go get a ring

Ooh, so what you wanna do?

Un clásico que seguro a much@s se os habrá pasado por la cabeza es "The way you look tonight". Originalmente pudimos escuchar esta canción en la película "Swing time", donde Fred Aistaire se la canta a Ginger Rogers. Si esta versión os resulta extremadamente clásica siempre podéis optar por la versión que popularizó Frank Sinatra o Tony Benett. Lo importante es prestar atención a la letra.

Another classic is "The way you look tonight". The first time we heard this song was in the film "Swing Times", permormed by Fred Aistaire. Maybe is too much classic for you, so you can choose Frank Sinatra or Tony Benett version.

Someday, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
it touches my foolish heart.
Lovely... don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you...and Just the way you look tonight
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
