Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hello. What did you do last weekend? Was it  exciting, boring, interesting? I am going to  

tell you about my weekend. first slowly then  normally learning English doesn't have to be  

difficult or complicated. It can be easy. Over  the weekend, I took the bus to my parents house.  

My mom and my dad, they both live together with  my little brother, Joaquin. He edits these videos.  

I decided to visit my parents last minute  around 4:00 p.m. But at 4:00 p.m. The traffic  

in Mexico City is crazy. So I decided  to wait for the traffic to settle down.  

Traffic never settles down in Mexico City, but  around 8 p.m. it's not too crazy anymore. But  

there was still so much traffic. I was sat in  traffic for about 2 hours and then he finally  

started driving. He drove all the way to my  hometown where my dad picked me up in his car. He  

drove his car to the bus station and he picked me  up. I hopped in and I sat in the front seat of the  

car, not the back seat, the front seat. Because  my mom wasn't there. So, I got to sit in the front  

seat. I was a little hungry because I hadn't had  any dinner yet. So, my dad drove me to get some  

esquites. Esquites have corn, mayonnaise, lime,  tajin. It's a mixture of good stuff. It's the  

perfect late night snack. We bought two esquites,  one for me and one for my mom, and we drove home.  

We ate our esquites and we hung out listening to  music, watching videos. And the next morning we  

all went to the cafe where they sell  breakfast, coffee. You can sit down  

and chat with friends or family while you eat  breakfast. I ordered a maple donut with bacon.

That was the perfect combination. Maple with  bacon. So good. The doughnut was fluffy and  

soft but crunchy on the outside. I also ordered a  omelette with spinach and I ordered a cappuccino.  

My dad drove us all back home and we watched  a movie called Roommates on Netflix. It was  

really good. It's one of those movies that  keeps you on your toes just waiting for the  

next thing to happen. It wasn't suspenseful or  scary. It was just frustrating and just annoying  

to see how her roommate got away with everything  again and again. But it was really good. Later,  

my dad drove me to my nail appointment.  As you can see, I got my nails done again.

I used to never get my nails done, but lately with  my videos and my rings, I really love looking down  

while I'm working and seeing my nails and saying,  "Those are cute nails." I chatted and I gossiped  

with the nail technician and I loved my nails.  Do you like them? Same as do you like them? But  

quickly. Do you like them? I decided on the color  pink. I don't know if pink is really my color.  

But lately, I've been really obsessed with pink.  I just bought a new purse with pink polka dots.  

These are polka dots. So, I thought I think pink  nails would go well with my new bag. You know what  

I mean? That's something I noticed. I say a lot.  Native speakers say it a lot. Do you know what I  

mean? kind of to reaffirm that you understand.  So if I say, "Yeah, I got my pink nails because  

they match my new bag and pink is just a pretty  color." Do you know what I mean? You know what I  

mean? Do you know what I mean? That's something  you could use just if you want to make sure that  

somebody understands your point, your idea. You  know what I mean? After my nail appointment,  

I had some lunch with my mom and I took the bus  back to my apartment. I took a shower and I got  

ready because I had a techno event to go to.  Just an event where they play techno music. I  

did my makeup. I put some eye shadow on, some  lip gloss, and some cute earrings. By the way,  

do you want me to make my next video about makeup,  the vocabulary, the steps in simple English? Let  

me know. I went to the techno event and I danced  all night and the next morning I got breakfast  

at Tok,'s. Tok's is a chain of restaurants.  It's very popular in Mexico. Do you have any  

restaurant chains in your country? If so, which  one is your favorite and why? I slept all day and  

then I went with my sister to walk around some  cute bazaars and markets in Mexico City. And I  

bought this necklace. It's my favorite flower, the  jacaranda. And they made it a necklace. I love it.  

It's my new favorite necklace. I also recorded a  few videos for the week. I worked on my English  

community and then I went to sleep again. It was  a really special weekend. I saw family, friends,  

and I spent time with myself. What about  you? What did you do this weekend? You know  

what I mean? Try and integrate this phrase into a  sentence you use today. It's a fun phrase to use,  

I think. Now, here goes the normal speed. So, over  the weekend, I took the bus to my parents house.  

my mom and my dad, but my dad was the only one who  picked me up at the bus station. We chatted in the  

car for a little bit and I was a little hungry  because I hadn't had anything for dinner. So,  

he took me to get some esquites. An esquites is  a mixture of corn, mayonnaise, lime, esquites,  

sometimes cheese, but I don't eat that much cheese  because it's bad for my acne. We all hung out. We  

ate esquites together, and we listened to music  and watched YouTube videos. Next day, we went to  

my favorite cafe in my hometown, and I ordered the  most delicious doughnut. It was a maple doughnut  

with sprinkles of bacon on top. The bacon wasn't  too crispy or too soggy. It was perfect and so was  

the doughnut. The doughnut was fluffy and soft on  the inside, but the outer layer was crunchy where  

the maple was. It was really good. I also ordered  an omelette with spinach and I had a cappuccino  

coffee. Then my dad drove us home and we watched  a movie on Netflix called Roommates. It's really  

good, but it just keeps you on your toes. It  keeps you kind of on the edge of your seat because  

you're like, "What's going to happen next? What's  she going to do to her next?" It was a little  

frustrating to watch, but really interesting. Then  my dad drove me to my nail appointment. I got my  

nails done and I chatted and gossiped with my nail  technician. I got pink to match some accessories  

that I've been buying. I just bought this brown  purse with pink polka dots and I thought that my  

nails would match it perfectly. After that, I  took my bus back to my apartment and I rushed  

to take a quick shower. I did some quick makeup,  eye shadow, put on some cute earrings, and I head  

to a techno event with my friends. We danced all  night and then we had breakfast together at Tok's.  

It's a chain of restaurants in Mexico that's very  popular. And I think I've ordered some enchiladas  

suizas. If you've never had enchilada Swizas  before, if you ever go to Mexico, you need to try  

them. They're so good. Um, but I'm curious, do you  have any restaurant chains in your country? And  

if so, which one is your favorite? It was a really  fun weekend, and I'm curious, what did you do this  

weekend? If you enjoyed this video, be sure to  like it and subscribe so you can continue to learn
