Spring songs

The first one is a little bit sad, but the lyrics are great!

We already listened to one of Juane´s song for MLK day in class, this time, he talks about love…

Now, we are going to listen to The Manhattan Transfer´s song «Eso es el amor».

I am sure you will get all the missing words, because this one is easier if you remember the seasons in Spanish!
