Hi there,

here's a nice little video where you can watch and listen to our Spanish representative for the next Eurovision contest in Moscow, Soraya, speaking in English in an interview. Among other things, she talks about the start of her singing career in the Spanish Pop Idol TV reality show and her former job as a flight attendant. She adds information about her origin in Extremadura and her prospects for the future. She's beautiful and she speaks English very well! Bet she can sing very well too!

Wow, it's been a long time since we last met here, but so far, so good... here we are again!

Lyrics

"Long Black Veil"

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the Town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the man who ran looked a lot like me

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

The judge said Son, what's your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word thought it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

(Refrain)

The scaffold was high and eternity near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometime at night when the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries over my bones

(Refrain)

Have a nice weekend!

Hi there !

Here's a compilation of really useful links by subject to start collecting vocabulary for your classes. The credit for this goes to Carmen Medina, from the EOI Antequera.
