Music: Backstreet Boys - Anywhere For You
Текст и перевод песни
Anywhere for you
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you ask me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to.
I'd walk halfway around the world
For just one kiss from you
Far beyond the call of love
The sun, the stars, the moon
As long as your love's there to lead me
I wont lose my way believe me
Even through the darkest night you know
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you ask me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to.
Your love as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
There's one thing for sure
I know it's true I know it's true
Baby I'd go anywhere for you.
I used to think that dreams were just
For sentimental fools,
And I'd never find someone
Who'd their love so true
But I knew the very minute
Couldn't live my love without you in it
Now I want the whole wide world to know.
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you ask me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to.
Your love as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
There's one thing for sure
I know it's true I know it's true
Baby I'd go anywhere for you.
Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, na oooh
I'd go anywhere for you
Anywhere you ask me to
I'd do anything for you
Anything you want me to.
Your love as far as I can see
Is all I'm ever gonna need
There's one thing for sure
I know it's trueI know it's true
Baby I'd go anywhere for you.

Ради тебя — куда угодно
Ради тебя я пойду куда угодно,
Куда бы ты ни попросила меня.
Я все сделаю для тебя,
Чего бы ты ни захотела.
Я бы прошел полмира
Даже за один твой поцелуй,
Гораздо дальше, куда бы ни позвала любовь.
Солнце, звезды, луна,
Пока ты любишь меня, будут вести меня.
Я не заблужусь, поверь мне,
Ты знаешь, даже в самую темную ночь.
Ради тебя я пойду куда угодно,
Куда бы ты ни попросила меня.
Я все сделаю для тебя,
Чего бы ты ни захотела.
Твоя любовь — это все,
Что мне когда-нибудь будет нужно.
В одном лишь я уверен,
Я знаю, что это правда, я знаю, что это правда,
Детка, ради тебя я пойду, куда угодно.
Я раньше думал, что мечты — это
Только для сентиментальных дураков.
Я никогда не найду никого,
Кто бы любил так искренне,
Но я понял сразу же,
Что я не смогу любить, если тебя не будет рядом.
Теперь я хочу узнать весь этот мир.
Ради тебя я пойду куда угодно,
Куда бы ты ни попросила меня.
Я все сделаю для тебя,
Чего бы ты ни захотела.
Твоя любовь — это все,
Что мне когда-нибудь будет нужно.
В одном лишь я уверен,
Я знаю, что это правда, я знаю, что это правда,
Детка, ради тебя я пойду, куда угодно.
Ей, детка, ей, детка, ей детка, ох
Ради тебя я пойду куда угодно,
Куда бы ты ни попросила меня.
Я все сделаю для тебя,
Чего бы ты ни захотела.
Твоя любовь — это все,
Что мне когда-нибудь будет нужно.
В одном лишь я уверен,
Я знаю, что это правда, я знаю, что это правда,
Детка, ради тебя я пойду куда угодно.

Music: Paul McCartney - Monkberry Moon Delight
Ram is an album by Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, released in 1971, the only album credited to the pair.
Текст и перевод песни
Monkberry Moon Delight
Наслаждение ягодой лунной монахини
So I sat in the attic, a piano at my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...).
Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...).
Итак, я сидел на чердаке, пианино у моего носа,
А ветер играл ужасную кантату (кантата...).
Я был ранен ударом одного вражеского шланга
И поражен отвратительной сутью помидора ("персик"...).
Ketchup (ketchup),
soup and puree (Soup and puree),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
Кетчуп! (Кетчуп),
Суп и пюре (Густой туман и месиво),
Не оставайся позади (Отстань)...
(Get left behind, get left behind, get left behind).
(Остаются позади, остаются позади, остаются позади).
When a rattle of rats had awoken
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken,
In attempts to repeat its refrain.
Как только бренчащая чушь пробудила
Мышцы, нервы и вены,
Мое фортепиано откровенно осмелело
В попытках повторить свой припев.
So I stood with a knot in my stomach,
and I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel,
Sucking monkberry moon delight...
Вдруг меня остановил приступ тошноты
И я узрел такую ужасную картину:
Два юнца, притаившиеся в бочке,
С наслаждением сосут ягоду лунной монахини...
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight…
Наслаждение ягодой лунной монахини...
Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
and my hair is a tangled beretta,
When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest...
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...).
В общем, я понимаю - мой банан старше остальных,
А мои волосы – спутанная беретка,
И что я оставляю свою пижаму Билли из Будапешта...
Но я не улавливаю сути твоего послания (твое послание...).
Catch up! (catch up!),
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
Хватайте! (держите!),
Коты и котята (кошки и котята),
Не отставайте (отстаньте)...
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight…
Monkberry moon delight...
Наслаждение ягодой лунной монахини...
(Get left behind, get left behind, get left behind).
(Остаются позади, остаются позади, остаются позади).
(Try some of this, Heather. What is it?)
Monkberry Moon Delight ...
(Отведай немного, Хэзер. Ну, как?)

Conversation: London Native English Speaker Interviews Part 2
Transcripts & definitions
Hello learners of English, here is the transcript for the second video with interviews in the centre of London.
Use these videos as an opportunity to practise listening to authentic English conversations in a natural context. It’s a good chance to get exposure to English by native speakers, especially if you don’t live in an English speaking country.
Graphic design student: Hello
Luke: So, how long have you been in London?
Graphic design student: Two weeks
Luke: Really? What do you do?
Graphic design student: Err, graphic design. Camberwell, School of the Arts.
Luke: Ok. So, your first two weeks.
Graphic design student: First two weeks. It’s quite a big impact. Very big, lots of people, and it’s quite expensive as well.
Luke: Ok. What’s the best thing about it?
Graphic design student: Err, night life. Very good night life. It’s got, you know, erm… If you go to the right places… A lot of action, erm, you know, a lot of friendly people as well.
Luke: Excellent. What about the worst thing?
Graphic design student: Depends on where you go. I mean, there’s quite a lot of, err, muggers about, dodgy people looking at your weirdly. You want to just, turn, turn away from them
Luke: Ok yeah
Graphic design student: Apart from that, generally a lot of people are quite nice. I mean, there’s some people that shove about, but, you know, you’ve just got to deal with it.
Luke: Ok, thank you very much
Graphic design student: That’s ok
Luke: Cheers.
Luke: So, hello
Girl in red scarf: Hello
Luke: Where are you from?
Girl in red scarf: I live in Redhill, which is about half an hour away from London
Luke: Ok, erm, how long have you lived there?
Girl in red scarf: Two weeks!
Luke: Ok. Everyone’s been living in London for two weeks for some reason. So, what’s London really like then?
Girl in red scarf: London, well, London’s a really really massive place which can be quite overwhelming, but it’s not that scary after you’ve, you know, got stuck in there. Erm, London has everything you’d ever want, if you’re into theatres, art, education, night clubs, anything. Erm, I would say, just get stuck in there and go for it!
Luke: Ok, great, and what’s the worst thing about London?
Girl in red scarf: The worst thing… oooh the worst thing… err, I think the worst thing would have to be the pollution. It’s probably not as bad as some countries, but you always feel like you’ve got black fingernails.
Luke: Ok. Thank you very much.
Girl in red scarf: Thank you
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Hi!
Luke: So, are you from London too?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Yes, I am
Luke: Ok, so how long have you lived here?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Err, my whole life. Luke: Ok, so you’re a real Londoner
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Yes, a real Londoner
Luke: Ok, what’s it like then, living here?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): What’s it really like? Erm, well I think it’s fantastic. It’s nice to live in such a cosmopolitan place with lots of things to do. You can never say that you’re bored or have nothing to do because then that’s all down to you, so…
Luke: What’s the best thing about it?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Erm…
Luke: You might have just answered that
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Yes I think I have. Just the variety and everything you want to do. Lots of things for different age groups, there’s always something for someone to do. I would say the best thing is, like, the cultural little occasions that we have, like Chinese New Year and things like that, where you have big street parties. I would say that’s the best thing.
Luke: Ok, what about the worst thing?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Oh… I don’t like to answer that question
The girl with the red scarf (off screen): Pigeons!
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Oh yeah! I hate pigeons! I hate pigeons! They’re just…
Luke: What’s wrong with them?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): They’re diseased!
Luke: They’re diseased. Flying rats.
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Yes
Luke: Right?
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): Yeah. That’s the worst thing, I don’t dislike anything else.
Luke: Ok, thank you very much
Real Londoner girl (who hates pigeons): You’re welcome
Luke: Cheers
Smartly dressed couple: Hi
Luke: So, are you from London
Smartly dressed girl: Err, we’ve just moved here, yeah.
Luke: Just moved here, right, so err… How long have you been here?
Smartly dressed girl: Err… We’ve been here for a couple of weeks.
Luke: Ok. Everyone I’ve interviewed today has been in London for, like, two weeks. I don’t know why… So, what’s London really like then? What do you think?
Smartly dressed guy: Err, it’s a huge place. There must be about 10 million people living here. It’s got a lot of good things, bad things. It’s vibrant, it’s multicultural. It’s got fantastic places to eat, fantastic places to go out in the evening.
Smartly dressed girl: Fantastic theatre, fantastic restaurants. Fantastic museums, art galleries. Absolutely loads of stuff.
Luke: Ok
Smartly dressed guy: It’s a fast paced place. People seem to be moving around a lot faster than in the rest of the country
Smartly dressed girl: Sometimes that can get quite a bit much, you know. People sort of rushing everywhere all the time
Smartly dressed guy: But it’s interesting, but there’s also negatives to living here
Smartly dressed girl: It’s very congested, it’s very expensive. Err, extremely expensive, public transport is expensive. It’s hard… it can take a long time to get anywhere
Smartly dressed guy: And there’s also a lot of pollution, and crime as well. So, if you come to live here I think it’s about finding the right enclave…
Smartly dressed girl: Yeah, the right neighbourhood to live in, definitely…
Smartly dressed guy: And having friends. Set up your own community of friends, rather than knowing your next door neighbour.
Luke: Yeah. Ok, thank you very much
Smartly dressed guy: No worries
Luke: Cheers, bye bye
Smartly dressed girl: Cheers, bye
