"1988" by Lauren O'Connell
Vydáno dne 04.08.2009
Písnička americké písničkářky irského původu, při které budete mít za úkol doplnit text chybějícími slovy a nakonec si slova písně zkusit přeložit.
Listen to the song and complete each gap with one word.
Jak na to?
Chcete-li doplnit co nejvíce správných slov, budete potřebovat následující:
- Písničku si pusťte několikrát, některá místa klidně pětkrát za sebou.
- Nesnažte se pouze rozumět tomu, co slyšíte, ale zamyslete se i nad tím, co je v textu předtím a potom. Sami byste měli přijít na to, že v textu je vynechané např. podstatné jméno, či sloveso. Potom je doplňování snadnější.
- Mějte na paměti základní gramatická pravidla (některé slovesné tvary mohou znít podobně – zamyslete se tedy nad tím, jaký konkrétní tvar se hodí právě na toto místo v textu).
- Nevzdávejte to předčasně.
1988

There are four whole people in this house
And I'm the last one
___________________________(1)
again
And tomorrow we'll be biting
___________________________(2)
And biting tongues to higher stakes again
I am thinking if I just don't sleep
The morning won't
___________________________(3)
up on me
As just another yesterday again
But I was
___________________________(4)
for just one day
In 1988
I didn't have to talk, I didn't have to think
They
___________________________(5)
my sins right down a sink
Ten fingers and ten
___________________________(6)
, and you're okay
Yeah I think that's what they say
Well how about today?
I swear the world has got my number
Oh my God, there's
___________________________(7)
in my eyes
I think that I've been dancing 'round
The brightest rooms in a cellophane
___________________________(8)
Everybody still remembers
Things that I said last September
Oh, but
___________________________(9)
of all, so do I
But I was a stranger for just one day
Born with the cleanest
___________________________(10)
My mother loved me before she knew me
Gave me a name that didn't
___________________________(11)
me
But hey that's okay
I've
___________________________(12)
it anyway
What if I threw it away?
And to me God's just a metaphor
A metaphor for everything that's strange
I take his name in
___________________________(13)
a lot
But I'm not sure just what that means these days
Sometimes I wish that I were still
___________________________(14)
Along with a lot of other
___________________________(15)
But I don't think that God would know my name
But I was
___________________________(16)
in bygone days
When I still knew how to pray
And all the
___________________________(17)
were etched in gold
On the little Bible that I stole
From my teacher in second
___________________________(18)
The one I didn't mean to take
Oh what would Jesus say?
And things were
___________________________(19)
for a time
In 1999
I was eleven years old, and we
___________________________(20)
south
Yeah, down to my grandfather's house
And everything was fine
It was right before he died
We were all so goddamn fine
We were all so goddamn fine
