Madonna’s Spanish lesson

Madonna, that indestructible force of nature, is in Spain right now as her “Hard Candy” tour makes its way around the world. She performed last night in Sevilla to rave reviews but it seems her Spanish needs a little work. Blogger Erik Rasmussen. forwarded to me the lyrics of her current hit single “Spanish Lesson” which has a couple of odd mistakes. Erik points out that the song uses the formal usted “digame” command instead of the more informally appropriate “dime” and that the songtress makes a double faux pax when she says “soy loco” instead of  “estoy loca.”  Madonna probably used an online translator to come up with these gems.

Yo te quiero means I love you
Mucho gusto means I’m welcome to you
Señorita
I just wanna fall in love

Callate means close your mouth
Bésame means give me love
Señorita
She just wants to fall in love

(Chorus)
Baby hurry up
Cuz I cannot get enough
If you like my style I can love you for a while
Can you hear me call your name?
Baby I’m onto your game

Dígame means tell me baby
Yo soy loco means you drive me crazy
Señorita
I just wanna fall in love

Entiendo means I get it
Siempre means that I won’t forget it
Señorita
She just wants to fall in love

(Chorus)
Baby hurry up
Cuz I cannot get enough
If you like my style I can love you for a while
Can you hear me call your name? (hear me callin’ your name)
Baby I’m onto your game (I’m onto your game)
I just wanna fall in love (hear me callin’ your name)
Baby I can’t get enough

Come get it

If you do your homework (work)
Maybe I will give you more (work)
When you do your homework (work)
Get up on the dancefloor (work)
(x2)

Entiendo means I get it
Siempre means that I won’t forget it

Can you hear me call your name? (hear me callin’ your name)
Baby I’m onto your game (I’m onto your game)
I just wanna fall in love (hear me callin’ your name)
Baby I can’t get enough (I’m onto your game)
(x2)

Come get it

If you do your homework (work)
Maybe I will give you more (work)
When you do your homework (work)
Get up on the dancefloor (work)
(x2)
