Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,------Bueno, te preguntas por qué siempre visto de negro,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,-------- por qué nunca ves colores brillantes en mi espalda,
And why does my appearance------------------------- y por qué mi apariencia
seem to have a somber tone.----------------------------parece tener un tono sombrío.
Well, there's a reason for the things--------------------Bueno, hay una explicación para
that I have on.--- ----------------------------------------lo que llevo puesto.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,---Llevo el negro negro por los pobres y los abatidos,
Living in the hopeless hungry side of town,-----------que viven en la parte desahuciada y hambrienta de la ciudad
I wear it for the prisoner--------------------------------lo llevo por el preso
who has long paid for his crime,-----------------------que hace tiempo que ha pagado su delito
But is there because he's a victim of the times.--------pero está ahí porque es una víctima de los tiempos.
I wear the black for those who've never read----------Llevo el negro por aquellos que nunca han leído
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,----------------ni escuchado las palabras que Jesús dijo,
About the road to happiness-----------------------------sobre el camino hacia la felicidad
through love and charity,---------------------------------a través del amor y la caridad,
Why, you think He's talking straight---------------------vamos, piensa que Él nos está hablando claro
to you and me.-------------------------------------------- a ti y a mí.
Well, we're doing mighty fine, I do suppose,------------Bueno, lo estamos haciendo genial, supongo
In our streak of lightning cars-----------------------------con nuestros coches como relámpagos
and fancy clothes,-----------------------------------------y nuestra ropa elegante
But just so we're reminded-------------------------------pero entonces nos acordamos
of the ones who are held back,---------------------------de los que se quedan atrás
Up front there oughta be a Man In Black.-------------- allí debería haber un Hombre de Negro
I wear it for the sick and lonely old,---------------------Lo llevo por los viejos enfermos y solitarios,

whose bad trip left them cold,----------------------------a los que un mal viaje mató,
I wear the black in mourning------------------------------llevo el negro como luto
for the lives that could have been,----------------------- por las vidas que podrían haber sido
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men---------- cada semana perdemos a cien jóvenes buenos
And I wear it for the thousands who have died,-----------Y lo llevo por los miles que han muerto
Believing that the Lord was on their side,------------------creyendo que el Señor estaba de su parte,

You'll never see me wear a suit of white.------------------nunca me verás llevar un traje blanco.
Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday,------------------Ah, me encantaría llevar un arcoiris cada día
And tell the world that everything's OK,--------------------y decirle al mundo que todo está bien,
But I'll try to carry off --------------------------------------- pero intentaré arreglármelas con
a little darkness on my back,---------------------------------un poco de oscuridad en mi espalda
'Til things are brighter,-------------------------------------- hasta que las cosas sean más alegres,
I'm the Man In Black.-----------------------------------------soy el Hombre de Negro.

A mi me ha servido mucho cantar en ingles para mejorar con el idioma. Cuando me gustaba una canción trataba de aprender que decía su letra. Si bien es importante que los chicos usen ejercicios past continuous para practicar, creo que las canciones son una forma muy positiva para practicar
Gracias, Mario.
Efectivamente, los ejercicios son muy útiles para aprender las estructuras, y las canciones un modo muy ameno y mucho más gratificante de adquirir soltura en su uso.
I am by name of Miss jane, And I am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-boyfriend whom I love so much. I had a boyfriend that love me so much but something terrible happens to our relationship one afternoon when his friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to him just because he was been jealous of his friend I was dating and on the scene my boyfriend just walk in and he thought we had something special doing together, I tried to explain things to him that his friend always does this whenever he is not with me and I always refuse him but I never told him because I did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but he never believed me. he broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make him believe me but he never believed me until one day I heard about the DR. AKHERE and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
