Less than 50 days for the Olympics.

I have always thought that there's something magic in the olympics, that the time goes faster. The first ones I remember are Los Angeles 84: the Spanish basketball, the flying man in the inaguration ceremony, Carl Lewis, ... . We, children, met in the mornings to watch basketball matches and spent the day commenting them. We said: it's a pity we have to wait for 4 years for the next Olympics, and... we'll be so old by then!
I look forward to the London ones, I know I'll have a great time enjoying them with my kids.

This is the song we did in 1ºC, "Someone Like You" by Adele. They did it pretty well, but no wonder! They're so skilled!


I heard that you're settled ……………                                          now,
That you found a girl and you're married ……………               light,
I heard that your dreams came……………                                  true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to……………                 shy?
Old friend, why are you so……………                                        you,
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the……………             down,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like……………                                       love,
I wish nothing but the best for you, ……………                          said,
Don't forget me, I ……………                                                      love,
I remember you ……………                                                         too,
"Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                beg,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                   you, 
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,                                 

You know how the time ……………                                            flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our ……………                                    days,
We were born and raised in a summer ……………                     haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory ……………                                    lives,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like ……………                                      too,
I wish nothing but the best for you, ……………                                   you,
Don't forget me, ……………                                                                  love, I remember you ……………                                                                  said,
"Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                I beg,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nothing ……………                                                                      taste?
No worries or ……………                                                             cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories ……………                     compares,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would…………… made,

Nevermind, I'll find someone like ……………                             beg,
I wish nothing but the best for ……………                                  said,
Don't forget me, I ……………                                                      you,
I remember you ……………                                                                   love,
"Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                you,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like ……………                             beg,
I wish nothing but the best for you, ……………                          love,
Don't forget me, I ……………                                                      love,
I remember you ……………                                                                   too,
"Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                said,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"                                                  
Sometimes it lasts in ……………                                                   you,
But sometimes it hurts instead.
