Don’t you want to ...
 learn languages?
Visit other countries
Meet different people?
Really?
Then, should you meet a monster! …
Run !
There is no alternative!

We learn languages and we get to know other people. 
Let us use the languages we learn so that we can talk about a very special city. 
Using an old song in a modern version.
Let us talk about Paris
Tossed but not sunk!

Arrange yourselves into six groups and take four lines from the song’s English lyrics and:
  • Compare our lyrics with the ones in the video and mark the differences
  • Translate them to build an impressive Spanish version


Under the Parisian Sky


Under the Paris sky flies a melody
It was born of today in the heart of a boy
Under the Paris sky Lovers walk
Their happiness is built on a tune made for them
Under the Bercy Bridge a philosopher sits,
Two musicians, a few strollers, then people by the thousands
Under the Paris sky they sing until evening
A lovers' hymn of the old city
Near Notre Dame occasional tragedies are played out
Yes but in Paname all can be fixed:
Some rays of a summer sun, the accordion of a seaman,

Hope flourishes in the Paris sky 
Under the Paris sky flows a river of joy,
it sleeps in the night tramps and beggars
Under the Paris sky God's creatures
come from around the world to chat with each other
And the Paris Sky has its own secret
For twenty centuries it has been in love with our Ile Saint Louis;
And when it smiles at the sky it puts on its blue robe
When it rains on Paris it's because it's unhappy
When it's too jealous of the millions of lovers
It growls at us with resounding thunder
But the sky of Paris is not long cruel
And to apologize it offers a rainbow
