Refrán:
Yo vivo en el silencio
Pero hablan
La cuidad hablan

It supposed to show the sounds of the city.
The three lines seem to flow, kind of like poetry.
Adding some more lines could help.
Creating it was easy.

De donde vengo yo

Posted by Aidan Rios in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Soy de Puerto Rico pero naci aqui en Filadelfia. Lo que es un influencia de Puerto Rico es la comida y la musica. De donde vengo, todo es de respeto. Trata una persona con respeto y ello te respecta a usted. Pero, una falta de respecto y los hentes van reir de ti y ignorara ti.  



My refrain is suppose to communicate that Ricardito is from Puerto Rico also that he is ready to talk about where he comes from and how it’s like. 

Im kinda happy that I got to talk about the main thing that is Puerto rican.

 I would like to improve my details and the length that it is.

What was really hard was coming up what to write or what to mention.

porque esta es nuestra ciudad



- My refrain is supposed to communicate that I am from Philadelphia
- I am happy that I was able to come up with a good refrain 
- I would like to improve the fact that the whole thing is not about philly 
- what was difficult was trying to rhyme it

La ciudad del amor fraternal,

Una lugar único y orignal.

Grande esperanzas pero suenos rotos,
Todos carreteras ignotos.

Yo llamo a este casa.

 

o   What is your refrán supposed to communicate?

My refrán is supposed to communicate that the city we live in is filled with a diverse group of people but all share one thing, challenges.

 

o   What are you especially happy about with your first draft?

Catherine and I are really happy with the quality of words we have because they are very descriptive and tell a story with a true meaning.

 

o   What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?

I really wanted the refrán to be longer, but I am satisfied with how everything worked out.

 

o   What was difficult about writing your refrán? 

It was extremely difficult creating a phrase that rhymed with the previous one. Also, this was hard because we only had a set selection of words that did rhyme and made sense to what we were trying to portray.

la energía, la energía,
Nueva York
Un día volveré
Perdo de menos mi casa
el ruido, el ruido
música para mis oídos

    It's supposed to communicate what I love about the place I was born. Even though I live in Philly I consider New York my home.

    That it has good content and that it does resemble all those things in seven short lines.

    I don't think anything was particularly difficult about writing it but it's only my first draft and revising it is going to be the hardest part.

La ciudad del amor fraternal,

Una lugar único y orignal.

                          Grande esperanzas pero suenos rotos,
                          Todos carreteras ignotos.
                          Yo llamo a este casa.
    • What is your refrán supposed to communicate?
  • Our refrán is supposed to communicate that we live in the city of brotherly love, a place that's unique and original. A place where people have high hopes, but troubled dreams, where all roads are unknown. But, most of all that this is the place that we call home.
    • What are you especially happy about with your first draft?
  • Yes, we were happy about the first draft because of how we worded I think. It's deep, yet fun.
    • What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
  • I think that we would like to make it a little bit longer.
    • What was difficult about writing your refrán? 
  • The most difficult part was rhyming. We had a hard time doing that with only a limited amount of words that actually made sense with what we were trying to say and that rhymed well.

Refran- Johan sebastian rosaro

Posted by Malik Tlili in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​refrán : me llamo es rosaro:
            y el nombre de me pero es dinero


my refrán is short and it communicates with the listeners because it is simple and those are the only two things needed to know about myself "Roasaro" i am happy with the attractiveness of my refrán. it pulls listeners in and makes the song interesting. i would like to check the spelling and maybe make my refrán longer. the thing that was difficult about writing my refrán is thinking of the correct way to say what i want. 

Bethany song refran

Posted by Bethany Carter in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Uno lado un mi familia es grande.
Uno lado un mi familia es pequeña.
Tenemos vos alto pero sabemos oír otros.
Casi todo el mundo encuentran lo confuso.
Yo crecí con ellos.

The refrán is supposed to communicate that my family is loud and confusing but for me its normal.
I like that I was able to not feel as limited by the words I could choose from.
I would like to improve the flow of it so it would be easier to sing.
The difficult part was finding the right translation in the dictionary. 

21/9: Ahorita

Posted by Ronald Jackson in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Soy de Filadelfia
La zoo de Filadelfia
Es mi zoo favorito
¡Sí, es mi vida!

Ir al zoo todas las dias
Es qué yo gusta
Es mi casa cierto
¡Sí, tú y yo!

My refrain shows of my love for the Philadelphia Zoo.

I am happiest with the choice of words that I used in my first draft.

I would like to improve the words that I used at the end of each line. My hope is for it to eventually rhyme.

The most difficult part was trying to find words that rhyme.

3. I might have liked to make it rhyme or flow a bit better.
4. Thinking of what to say in it and trying to write it in general.

Marina Pyfrom's Song

Posted by Marina Pyfrom in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​fiesta de rock! 
De dónde vengo yo
Vamos 
2X

Its a fun song. I want the refrain to be easy and simple so my audience can sing too. My chorus will set the stage for the verses. 
Yes because it is catchy which means audience can quickly catch on and sing. 
Maybe add another line into. I haven't decided yet because I kind of like it the way it already is. 
Just trying to make the lines catchy especially in spanish and just making it flow throughout the song. 

Yo escucha sirenas de la policía.
sueños ser una bailarina.
Vivo con Mi mamá .
no drama
Ella es importante y muy elegante.
Mi casa es en Filadelphia

My first verse tells a little about where I'm from but goes in more about my mother. 
I like the first too lines because the rhyme scheme and also the message. 
I wanna take more about my mom and our relationship. So there will be more lines added. 
The most difficult part is answering the question in an intelligent Spanish 3 student way. Being that our vocabulary is limited we can not say what we want to make the song great. So we have to do the best we can and hope for the best.

Yo vengo de una familia.
Me gusta que mi familia es pequeña.
Tenemos una relacion buena.
Una vez al año hay reunión
Por que tradición.

My second first talks about my family and its characteristics.
I love my second verse because the message is perfect for the essential question and its rhymes successfully. 
I think I want to make this my first verse just because It answers the question more and just simply amazing.
I had no difficulty this verse because I let my mind wonder and did not pressure myself with the rhyming. It just came to my brain and I loved it so I used it.

    • What is your refrán supposed to communicate? 
      - I was in a VERY lovey mood (: Communicating my lovey doveiness at a random moment.  I feel as if loving things is just my background. In my mind it's where I am from. 
    • What are you especially happy about with your first draft?
      - Not at all!!! lol i can only make songs like that when I am lovey. But when I am not I cannot continue the song. I was going to get into my family and love with them. BUT change of plans (:
    • What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
      - I would like to try and change the topic to something I can always write about rather than be a moment thing. 
    • What was difficult about writing your refrán? 
      - Just a tad. it's REALLY hard to remember how to conjugate everything and simple words. but None the less I will change my song topic to something a LOT more interesting... (:

      Me gusta que mama, 

      Usted el siente el mismo?

      Te amo papa, 

      Usted el siente el mismo?

      Tú  es el solo uno que puede me hacen sonreír.

      Yo no quiero…. perderte usted. 

      perderte usted. (:

    • What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
      I would like to maybe go over all the spelling and tenses because I feel like we may have had some errors.
    • What was difficult about writing your refrán? 
      It was difficult because I have never written a song in spanish before and it was a new challenge. 

Leonardo-Alejandro ... Santiago (J. Pullins): El Refrn

Posted by Justin Pullins in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​El refrán para la cancion:

Infinito,
¿Dónde comienza?,
Infinito,
¿Por dónde empezar?



*What is your refrán supposed to communicate?

The refrán is supposed to state where I am now and how I got there with who and where I'm from.

*What are you especially happy about your first draft?

Nothing yet; I wrote this first draft with the full intention of eventually changing it completely.

*What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
I'd like to include more metaphors and symbolism; I think the songwriting won't be very good without it.


*What was difficult about writing your refrán?
I think the difficult part of writing the refrán was trying to write something that sounds very cool, catchy, and original.


First version

Posted by Imani Johnson in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Yo vivo en el silencio
Pero hablan
La cuidad hablan
Yo vengo de felicidad y sonrisas.
Muchos extraños personas creas mi vida
¡Mi vida es maravillosa!
Vivo en el ciudad del amor fraternal.
Vivo en el ciudad de la calma, los jovenes, los viejos, el ciudad
De Filadefia.


1. My refrán is supposed to communicate the basics of where my group and I came from.

2. The fact that with all of our individual refráns we create a story of our backgrounds.

3. It would probably be better if each sentence could flow together and there weren't long sentences.

4. It was hard to really figure out where I'm from since I've lived in so many places, so it was really tough to put where I'm from down in a few sentences when I'm still trying to figure that out for myself.
