The song shown in the video “Nat King Cole L-O-V-E Multilingual Version w/ Lyrics and Translation” is one that uses English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. This song is about love and how each letter of the word “love” is has a phrase that he sings to show how he loves the person he is singing to. What is extraordinary about this song is that it is multilingual and shows international love. While he does not speak each language perfectly, he is spreading the love in various languages.
Song Lyrics:
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
Toi qui ne m’avais rien repondu
Je sais que tu ne m’avais pas cru
Doch, seit ein paar Tagen,
Brauch’ ich nicht mehr nach zu schlagen,
Denn, ich lieb’ nur dich allein
Quiero que me expliques por favor
Lo que enciera la palabra amor
So che non ho nulla da desiderare ancora,
Perche per me tu sei la sola donna mondiale
Loveは世界の言葉
(Love wa sekai no kotoba)
Loveは二人の宝
(Love wa futari no takara)
愛し合えば明日も明るい
(Ai shi aeba ashita mo akarui)
Love, love you love, I love you.
I choose this song to answer my guiding question since not only does it use two languages, but comes to show how multiple languages can work together in smooth manner. I feel this is a representation of how the brain works in that it can take in multiple languages, and it comes to show that being able to have multiple languages allows to not only spread “love” but also any message we want to communicate. Communicating is a huge benefit of being bilingual or multilingual.
