Tonight, hundreds of thousands of snowflakes are floating above a cute village. 

Among these snowflakes there’s one the size of a small pot plant. It’s twirling and spinning like a beautiful ballet dancer. This snowflake’s name is Lola. She has just been joined by her rich green fairy friend named Fairy. 

“Lola, I’m sorry to disturb you right before sleep... But I had to come see you. The wedding date has been moved. We must have it in one week’s time. Do you think the dress will be ready?” 

“One week? Sure thing,” says Lola. “I’ll work on it during the (yawn) weekend. You have nothing to worry about.” 

“Oh Lola, you’re the best! Thank you! Here, let me take you to the ground—you’re tired—I can take you there in a few minutes.” 

Fairy takes Lola in her arms to flies towards the village. But something isn’t right. The wind is becoming stronger and colder. Fairy is trying her best to fly straight, but the wind is pushing her to the left and to the right. The little green light is struggling against the wind.  

A storm is coming.

とても日本の夏らしい歌をAIで作りました。お楽しみください。

（Verse 1）
朝からアスファルトが　ジリジリ焼ける
影をさがして歩く　旅人みたいに
セミのシャウトは止まらない！
「ミーンミーンミーーーン！」命がけ！

Asphalt’s burning from 8 a.m.
I walk like a lost man, seeking shade
The cicadas scream with all their soul—
Nature’s heavy metal parade!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
サウナより熱い、湿気の嵐
でも祭りはやめられない！
浴衣と金魚、夜空の花火！

THIS is JAPAN’s crazy summer!
Hotter than hell, and 100% humid
But festivals call, I can’t resist—
Yukata, goldfish, and fireworks kissed

（Verse 2）
Tシャツが3分で　汗だく地獄
コンビニの冷気に　心から感謝
かき氷のためなら1時間待つ
それが日本の　プライドだ！

My shirt is soaked in just three minutes
Thank you, dear konbini air!
I’d wait an hour for shaved ice joy—
That’s summer pride, we dare!

（Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
エアコンより強いのは友情！
夜風にゆれる風鈴の音
暑くても、忘れたくない季節

THIS is JAPAN’s burning season!
Stronger than A/C is human connection
Wind chimes sing in the warm night breeze
A season we sweat through, yet never forget

（Bridge）
外国の友よ　覚悟して来てね
日本の夏は　甘くないよ
でも一度体験したらもう
恋に落ちるんだ、この暑さに！

Dear friends from abroad—be warned!
Japan’s summer shows no mercy
But once you’ve lived it, through the heat—
You’ll fall in love with its crazy beauty!

（Final Chorus）
これが日本の夏だ！
太陽も空も本気のバトル
また来年も、この地獄で
君と笑っていたいんだ！

THIS is JAPAN’s full-power summer!
The sky and sun are in a blazing duel
But next year too, in this hot-hot hell—
I wanna laugh with you again!

【SUMMER IN JAPAN】日本語の歌

Aquí la transcripción inexacta e informal, pero 😃 espero que les sirva 💚

No hablo de estudiar con un libro en público, o de usar una app para aprender y usarla en público. No. Hablo de intentar cosas nuevas sin importar que muchas personas te estén viendo. Por ejemplo…de no esconderse a practicar canto, o bicicleta, o patines, o un idioma, esconderse y no salir hasta que uno haya alcanzado la perfección. No, no. Salir y dejar que nos vean cometer errores y caernos o hacer cosas chistosas. No tienes que esconderte porque eres malo en algo y no tienes que esperar y salir hasta que ya seas bueno y nadie vaya a burlarse de ti. Bueno…claro que si eres un doctor, pues, sii, practicas a solas primero jaja. Ustedes me entienden, ¿verdad? jaja
abrazos y diviértanse aprendiendo en público 🙂

Portuguese/English false friends (5)

¿Conoces estas palabras? Todas vienen del latín y se usan para hablar de una cantidad de meses determinada. Si hablas inglés, conoces "semester" pero, ¿el inglés usa el significado original de esta palabra?
