Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hello everyone, my name is Emma. Today I will tell  you about my daily routine. I will speak slowly  

and clearly so you can understand me easily.  You will learn useful words and phrases for  

daily life. This video is a good way to practice  your English listening and speaking. Are you  

ready? Let's start. I usually wake up at 7:00 in  the morning. My alarm rings and I turn it off.  

Sometimes I want to sleep more, but I have to get  up. I sit on my bed for a minute and stretch my  

arms. Then I stand up and go to the bathroom. In  the bathroom, I brush my teeth. I wash my face  

with cold water. It helps me wake up. I look in  the mirror and smile. Sometimes I take a shower  

if I have time. After that, I go to the kitchen.  I make my breakfast. I usually eat toast with  

butter and eggs. Sometimes I eat cereal or fruit.  I always drink a hot cup of tea. I like green tea  

in the morning. It helps me feel calm and ready  for the day. While I eat, I listen to music or  

check my phone. I like to read messages or the  weather for the day. After breakfast, I go back  

to my room. I choose what to wear. I usually wear  jeans and a simple shirt. If it's cold, I wear a  

sweater, too. Then I brush my hair and get ready.  I check my bag. I make sure I have my phone,  

keys, and wallet. Finally, I put on my shoes and  leave the house. I'm ready to start my day. After  

I leave the house, I walk to the bus stop. The  bus stop is near my home, just a fiveinut walk.  

I see other people waiting too. Everyone is  going to work or school. I usually take the  

bus to work. The ride takes about 20 minutes. The  bus is sometimes full, but I usually find a seat.  

I sit by the window and watch the city.  Sometimes I listen to music or a podcast.  

Sometimes I check my phone or just relax. When I  arrive at work, I walk into the office building.  

I say good morning to the security guard. I take  the elevator to the third floor. That's where my  

office is. I start work at 9:00. I work in a small  office with nice people. I sit at my desk and turn  

on my computer. First, I check my emails. Then, I  look at my schedule for the day. My job is busy,  

but I enjoy it. I write reports, send emails,  and talk to clients. I also have short meetings  

with my co-workers. We work together and help each  other. In the morning, I work for a few hours. At  

12:30, I take a lunch break. I go to the kitchen  or the breakroom. I usually bring lunch from home.  

I like sandwiches, fruit, or rice with vegetables.  Sometimes I go outside and buy something small  

like a salad or a sandwich. I eat lunch with my  co-workers. We talk about the weather, movies, or  

weekend plans. It's a nice time to relax and laugh  a little. After lunch, I feel better and more  

focused. I drink some water or have a cup of tea.  Then I go back to my desk and continue my work. I  

usually finish work at 5:00 in the evening. I turn  off my computer, pack my bag, and say goodbye to  

my co-workers. I feel tired, but also happy that  I finished my work. I take the elevator down and  

leave the office building. Outside, the city  feels a little quieter. I walk to the bus stop  

and wait for my bus. The bus ride home takes  about 20 minutes. On the way, I sometimes look  

out the window and think about my day. Sometimes I  listen to music or I just close my eyes and rest.  

When I get home, I take off my shoes and hang my  bag near the door. Then I change into comfortable  

clothes, usually sweatpants and a soft hoodie.  I feel more relaxed when I'm in my home clothes.  

I go to the living room and sit on the sofa. I  rest for a little while, maybe 10 or 15 minutes.  

I stretch my legs, take a deep breath, and enjoy  the quiet. Sometimes I turn on the TV and watch  

a short show. Other times, I read a few pages of a  book. If I'm feeling tired, I just sit in silence.  

Around 7:00, I go to the kitchen and start making  dinner. I usually cook something easy like pasta  

with sauce, rice, and vegetables, or a salad with  bread. I like to play soft music while I cook.  

Cooking helps me feel calm. When dinner is ready,  I sit at the table and eat slowly. I don't look  

at my phone. I try to enjoy the food and the  moment. After I finish, I wash the dishes and  

clean the kitchen. I like to keep things tidy.  It helps me relax more. After dinner, I have  

some free time. Sometimes I watch a movie or a  series. Sometimes I call a friend or talk with my  

family. Other times I write in my journal or just  listen to music. My evenings are simple and quiet.  

I like having time for myself after a long day.  It's my time to rest, think, and enjoy the little  

things. Around 9:30 or 10:00, I start getting  ready for bed. I go to the bathroom first. I  

brush my teeth slowly and carefully. Then I  wash my face with warm water. It feels nice  

after a long day. Sometimes I use a little face  cream. It helps my skin feel soft. After that,  

I go back to my room and change into my pajamas.  My pajamas are soft and warm. Light blue pants and  

a cozy t-shirt. I fold my clothes from the day and  put them away. I like to keep my room tidy before  

sleeping. A clean space helps me sleep better.  Then I turn off the bright lights and switch on  

a small lamp next to my bed. I close the curtains  and open the window a little if the air is fresh.  

My room becomes very quiet and calm. I love this  quiet time. I sit on my bed and pick up a book.  

I like to read a few pages before I sleep.  Sometimes I read stories. Sometimes I read  

something that teaches me new things. Reading  helps my mind relax and slow down. After reading,  

I put the book back on my bedside table. Then I  sit for a moment and think about my day. I ask  

myself, what did I do well today? Did something  make me happy? What can I do better tomorrow?  

Just thinking quietly makes me feel calm. Around  10:30, I turn off the lamp. The room is dark and  

peaceful. I lie down in bed and pull the blanket  over me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath.  

I feel thankful for the day. Even if it was busy  or not perfect, I know tomorrow is a new chance.  

I smile a little and say to myself, "Good  night, Emma." And then I go to sleep.
