Música em sala de aula: "Say it right" (Nelly Furtado)

"Say it right" (Nelly Furtado)

Say It Right

Nelly Furtado

Compositor: Nelly Furtado, Tim Mosley, Nate Hills

In the day, in the night
Say it right, say it all
You either got it or you don't
You either stand or you fall
When your will is broken
When it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking
There's a hole in the plan

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you've got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And all of what I feel I could show
You tonight, you tonight

Oh, you don't mean nothing at all to me
No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you've got what it takes to set me free
Oh, you could mean everything to me

From my hands I could give you
Something that I made
From my mouth
I could sing you another brick that I laid
From my body I could show you a place
God knows
You should know the space is holy
Do you really want to go?

Música em sala de aula: "Roar" (Katy Perry)

"Roar" (Katy Perry)

Roar

Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready cause I've had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar

Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or

Now I'm floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

Comentários do professor

As sentenças em simple present do verbo to be facilitam a compreensão da música. Além disso, o fato de a música ser um sucesso contemporâneo, sua aceitabilidade é fácil por parte dos alunos. Outro ponto de destaque são as contrações utilizadas em vários termos ao longo da música. As repetições de versos da música facilitam o preenchimento das lacunas, mas a pronúncia aguda do cantor Pharrell Williams e a velocidade da música causaram estranhamento aos alunos. Mesmo assim, a atividade foi realizada com sucesso.



Atividades para os alunos


Audição, pronúncia e tradução. Audição, com preenchimento de lacunas, pronúncia, cantando a música, e tradução.
