I can't speak Spanish and I don't know anyone who can. I sing verse 5: Este viene a dar a los muertos vida   y viene a reparar de todos la caída;   es la luz del día aqueste muçuelo;   este es el cordero que San Juan dixera. How do you say muçuelo? Is the x silent, like in Mexico? If anyone feels like recording themselves saying this I'll be forever gratefull. But even just a bit of help would be nice.  We sing acapella, so everyone will hear any mistake I make. I really should have just taken Spanish for my foreign language.

I don't know spanish, but I took a class last year, so I know how to pronounce the letters and stuff. caida = kye ee' da dixera = dee air' a id even k why the x is there, I suppose it's an old spelling. The word nowadays is spelled diera. this looks like a really OLLLLD Spanish. Jettie12 Posted at 7:24 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 I'd pronounce mucuelo - mooswelo.  The thing under the c makes an s-sound in French, and Spanish doesn't have that so I'd guess it's from French.  And I'd pronounce the x like the one in Mexico.  I don't speak the language, but that's how I'd pronounce it. Medicated Smile Posted at 6:53 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Thanks! Do you know about pronouncing the x?
