-- Posted by Medicated Smile at 6:04 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 I got picked to sing a solo in my choir for a song in Spanish, Riu Riu Chiu. 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. -- Posted by AcidSilence at 6:08 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Este viene a dar a los muertos vida   [es-tay vee-en-ay ah darr a low-s moo-er-tos vee-da] y viene a reparar de todos la caída;   [ee vee-en-ay ah reh-pad-a de tah-dos la ???] es la luz del día aqueste muçuelo;   [es la loose del dee-ah ah-kays-tay moo-quelo] este es el cordero que San Juan dixera [es-tah es el cor-der-o kay san wahn deex-erd-a] caída MIGHT be like say-ee-da. and dixera make sure to kinda roll the R, with a d sound. and on muçuelo make sure to NOT say moo-kay-lo. it should be like moo-kway-lo. Good luck, I hope that helped. I don't know spanish, but I took a class last year, so I know how to pronounce the letters and stuff. -- Posted by Medicated Smile at 6:53 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Thanks! Do you know about pronouncing the x? -- Posted by Jettie12 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. -- Posted by Echo one at 11:26 am on Nov. 16, 2008 Quote: from AcidSilence at 6:08 pm on Nov. 15, 2008 Este viene a dar a los muertos vida [es-tay vee-en-ay ah darr a low-s moo-er-tos vee-da] y viene a reparar de todos la caída; [ee vee-en-ay ah reh-pad-a de tah-dos la ???] es la luz del día aqueste muçuelo; [es la loose del dee-ah ah-kays-tay moo-quelo] este es el cordero que San Juan dixera [es-tah es el cor-der-o kay san wahn deex-erd-a] caída MIGHT be like say-ee-da. and dixera make sure to kinda roll the R, with a d sound. and on muçuelo make sure to NOT say moo-kay-lo. it should be like moo-kway-lo.

The word nowadays is spelled diera. this looks like a really OLLLLD Spanish. -- Posted by hithere at 12:28 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 what the hell since when does spanish have cedillas -- Posted by MaryLin at 9:18 am on Nov. 18, 2008 It IS very old Spanish. ç once existed in the Spanish alphabet, pronounce it as s. x is supposed to be like h --> México -- Posted by carole at 12:11 pm on Nov. 29, 2008 would anyone know if Patron Tequila is pronounced Pa-TRON or Pa-TRAHN? thx, C
