Radio Blog Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams
This
sombre song would drain the sun No
water running in the stream Everything
I touched was golden [Refrain] There's nothing left for you to give I like to sleep beneath the trees Everything we've ever stolen [Refrain] Save me
from drowning in the sea |

1.
Complete
the gaps with the prepositions you hear.
Save me
____ drowning ______the sea
Beat me ____ ____ the beach
What a lovely holiday
Theres
nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it
won't shine ____ its sung
No water running ___ the stream
The saddest
place we've ever seen
2.Unjumble
the verses. Then translate the ordered sentences
Everything
I loved got broken
On the Road to Mandalay
Everything I touched was golden
Has
been rehashed and then replayed
Every mistake I've ever made
As I got lost
along the way

Try to match the halves without listening to this part of the song, then listen
to it and check if you were right. Write the right verses and translate them.
There's
nothing left | at dawn |
The
truth is all | for you to give |
Twenty
paces then | and be reborn |
We
will die | that you've left with |
I
like to sleep | beneath the trees |
Have
the universe | the barrel of a
gun |
Look
down | at one with me |
And
feel the Moon | replace the Sun |
