Danny's refran

Posted by Daniel Wirt in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
vengo de america
vengo de filadelfia
vengo de fútbol al béisbol
vengo de mis amigos a mi familia 

It just talked about the things that have made me who i am today. Also the things that are very important or were very important to me at some point in my life. 

Chelsea Janette Smith

La musica estallido 
Personas danza
Todos disfrutar se quieren
Eso es mi barrio
(Repetir 2x)

My refrain is suppose to show were I at and how it is around in my neighborhood. 
Im happy with how easy it is to flow with and how it makes sense and is easy to comprehend for anyone.
I just want to make sure that the draft makes a lot of sense and if there is a way to improve it that I can do that. 
The only thing I found difficult was actually choosing something to write about and being able to base a whole song on something that I can make sense of.

Bee - Ahorita 20/9

Posted by Breeanna Noi in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​"Mi familia está muy grande y todo por el mundo."

My refrain is supposed to communicate about how my family is the main part of where I'm from and I have no original home since I moved so much at such a young age.

I'm happy about the fact it's all about me. It's not about my location, but all about the people in my life. Even if they're not biological relatives, I still consider them family.

I would like to add more to my refrain.

The problem I had with writing the refrain was to find a theme to go with the song. To me, choruses are like thesis sentences. Every other verse has to relate back to it.

My Refran

Posted by Gabriel Pingitore in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Yo soy de vuelta en el día.

Essentially, my refrán means "I am from back in the day." And it's suppose to show that even though we're all growing up, I'm from the times I grew up in. And sometimes people forget that. Childhoods mean so much, because they create who we are now. And I'd just like to honor the "back in the day" for me.

Generally, it's a short yet very effective refrán. After words explaining my childhood, I can simply end it with "​Yo soy de vuelta en el día." Which, I feel would compliment the rest of the song. Kind of like a nice little spice on a bland meal. 

Really, I have nothing against my ​refrán. I may need to check the grammar to make sure it means what I'm implying, but other than that there's nothing that needs to be added. Maybe if I wanted to, I could add something specifically I liked about "back in the day" onto it to emphasize its meaning.  

I had no real problems writing my refrán. I knew from the beginning I wanted to write about my childhood. Given, it's not the most amazing childhood around, but I have to give credit when credit is deserved. Because of how I grew up, I became who I am today. So I owe everything to those times. From my parents to my own experiences. And I'm sure I can interpret that in a very excellent way.

Yang Refran

Posted by Allen Yang in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Yo vengo de tierra de mi padres 
Vengo de Estados Unidos 
Vengo de Filadelfia 
Vengo de Patria

This refran basically speaks of my background, where I am. Although I wasn't born in a foreign country, my parents were. And I'd say that half of me belongs there and the other big half is here. I'd still call it the homeland, because of my ethnicity. 

I'm happy I even got something out of it. It might not be an original idea, but it's where I'm just from, and that it was hard to describe something that wasn't physical.

Adding more lines, make it sound more advanced or at least not so simple as to where I'm literally from, more like something you'd have to think deeper into. 

The only thing that was difficult was actually trying not to sound like everyone else. 





Mi cacion :]

Posted by Longnu Nhan in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Refrán:
Yo vengo a Vietnam
La comida es increíble

My refrain is suppose to tell people about where I'm from and about my food. I love food! I'm happy to say that I'm from Vietnam. I would like to add more than 2 lines. It has to go with the rhythm. One thing that was difficult for me was to go with the syllables to my original english song. It just has to go with the beat. 

De dnde vengo yo? - refrn

Posted by Jessica Hinton in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

¿De dónde vengo yo?
¿De dónde vengo yo?
​Vengo de pequeño ciudad
Famosa comida y museos
Es gran... lugar... estar. 

- My refrán is supposed to communicate just a small glimpse of Philly. Just something short.
- I think for my first draft I did well with organizing my thoughts.
- I think I should make sure that it goes along with the music.
- The difficult part was making sure I didn't put anything in the refrán that may fit better in a verse. 

Donde de vengo yo?

Posted by Marley Utzig in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
De donde vengo yo?
Yo vengo de mi casa
Yo vengo mi mama
Yo vengo de mis actividades favoritas

Yo vengo en mi casa
Mi casa es en filidelfia
Yo nacido en California
Mi casa es muy cómodo

Yo vengo mi mama
Mi mama es cómica
Yo mama y papa muy enamoradas con
Mi mama es estupendo

De donde vengo yo?
Yo vengo de mi casa
Yo vengo mi mama
Yo vengo de mis actividades favoritas

Yo vengo de mis activitdades favoritas 
Me gusta leer
Me gusta pasar un rato con amigos
Me gusta escuchar música

De donde vengo yo?
Yo vengo de mi casa
Yo vengo mi mama
Yo vengo de mis actividades favoritas

(I like the chorus. I need to check all my lyrics to be sure they are correct. In the song I talk about where I am from my hometown and my love of music. I think I am going to do something quick and simple for the tune.)

My Chorus Thingy

Posted by Sergey Kuznetsov in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Yo me gusta Russia!

Y me gusta USA!

Porque me gusta los paises?

Yo no se!


This chorus says that I like both USA and Russia. My plan is to throw a bunch of reasons as to why, and say one country that I do not like or something. I got the idea from an old Russan song that is called "10 причин" or something like that!

Makenna Refran

Posted by Morgan Marant in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
¿De dónde vengo yo?
¿De dónde vengo yo?
Vengo a Fances 
Bahamas y Africa 
Yo quiero ir los
Yo quiero ir los


My refrán is communicating that I am of French, African and Bahamian descent. I also say that I would like to visit these places. I like that it gets the point across. I would like to change some parts because my song does not rhyme. Nothing was really difficult, I would just like for my refran to rhyme.   

Miqual Sanders

Posted by Michael Sanders in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Mi nombre es MIQUAL.!!!!!

​Mi nombre es MIQUAL.!!!!!

Yo mi gusto. el comida.

Yo comido el pollo y el sandwhiches.

Y Yo siempre es hambre.


It is suppose to commnicate that I like food and that food effects my life.

My first 2 lines is something I'm really proud about.

I would like to start on my first verse.

It was difficult writing while doing other homework. A little overwhelming.

Jenn Wright- Refran

Posted by Jennifer Wright in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Niños en los calles 

toque de queda es nada 

asuntos primordiales- ¿qué hora es la cena?



Amo o no amo, es mi barrio 

dices lo que te gutse 

Yo no puedo cambio 


My refrain is about something that happens in my neighborhood. The curfew is not enforced and there are always kids playing outside on the street. That is something I think stands out about my neighborhood. I also included a part about how many people say not so nice things about where I'm from, but it is where I am from and I can't change it. I embrace it, and this song I'm writing will show that. 

Refran de Tenzin cancion

Posted by Tenzin Ngawang in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Me llamo Tenzin

Soy de Tibet 

Soy de India

Tengo muy tradición

Una es...




What is your refrán supposed to communicate?
- So, my refrán is basically where I'm from and when the whole song is finished, you'll understand like where it'll go because this is only the chorus. 
What are you especially happy about with your first draft?
- The repetition. 
What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
- I feel like I still need to write more but then it's a chorus and I don't want it to be long because I'll be repeating that the whole time and I don't want to reveal too much.
What was difficult about writing your refrán?

Chelsea Ann Smith's Refran

Posted by Chelsea Smith in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​Refrán:
vengo mi familia;
mi mama, mi papa, mi hermanos y
mi tia y bisabuelo
te amo, mucho te amo.

-It talks about my family and how I love them. 
-I think it flows well
-I don't know what to improve, just be able to say it fast and well.
-It was hard to think of what way important enough to repeat throughout the song. 

El Refrain

Posted by Vincent Russell in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
​El Refrain

-Mi antepasado come de Irlanda,

y Italia  y eso es la cuento de mi.


This is supposed to communicate that I’m both Italian and Irish. The rest of the song will explain everything else. I’m happy that it makes sense, because a lot of times I write it doesn’t make sense. I might want to make it longer but I wan the bulk of the story to be the verses. It wasn’t too difficult, the only hard part was to find the words I wanted ot use.

Henninger Refran

Posted by Sophia Henninger in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Donde las calles están gastadas,

La gente y las tiendas más

No siempre es seguro

Pero es mi casa sólo.



My refrain is describing my neighborhood. I'm very happy that I got it done, and it makes sense. I might want to make it longer, but I'm not sure. I had some trouble using phrases that sounded good together. 

Soy de un Mundo ese Sentes

Posted by Kamilah Hudson in Spanish 3 - Gierke on
Chorus:

Vengo de la metaforas de viva
 El Verdad ese ocultas 
Quierer ser libre
Soy de el Voz de el mudo y
Los Manos de el indefenso

Yo vivo en el mundo de mi
Yo vivo en el mundo de mi

Verses :

Soy de un historia de amor
Y un familia de amor
y de un mundo ese sentes 
Pero luchas entendir 
el definición de amor 

Chorus:

Vengo de la metaforas de viva
 El Verdad ese ocultas 
Quierer ser libre
Soy de el Voz de el mudo y
Los Manos de el indefenso

Yo vivo en el mundo de mi
Yo vivo en el mundo de mi

Vengo de un Dios de compasión 
Un Padre de padres 
quien trabajes sus mejor 
Para el mejor de sus ninos
Aunque sus ninos nunca aprendes

Centelleantes es el cuidad yo vivo
un colectivo de diamantes en bruto
El mundo solo necesitas incentivos
Razones
a atencion 
a -a- atencion

Chorus:

Vengo de la metaforas de viva
 El Verdad ese ocultas 
Quierer ser libre
Soy de el Voz de el mudo y
Los Manos de el indefenso

Yo vivo en el mundo de mi
Yo vivo en el mundo de mi

What is your refrán supposed to communicate?  
My refran is supposed to convey who I am by showing what I'm come from.
What are you especially happy about with your first draft?
I'm especially happy that with what I have so far, there's a rhythm and rhyme scheme to it and there's a controlled focus of it. 
What would you like to improve about your refrán first draft?
I would like to make it longer, firstly. Then I would like to finish it with a contract rhythm and rhyme to it.
What was difficult about writing your refrán? 
I think the most difficult part about all this is making it rhyme. Because of the limited vocab that I have, it's hard to try to make a rhyming pattern.
