I know this isn't "technically" a playing or technique question, but is there anyone else on here that struggles to get lyrics not in there mother tongue to stick?
I learnt the guitar part a little while back as it's got a nice intro and makes you look like Antonio Banderas when you play it (from the wrists down at least!) But I'm having a hell of a job getting the words to stay put in my head. I'm sat here now and couldn't even tell you the first line and the laugh is I can speak a little Spanish!
Any tips from the singers out there?

I found it very hard and I needed the words written out phonetically when singing it. I got some Polish friends to help with pronunciation and I listened to the song over and over again to try to get the phrasing right. It has to be said that I didn't do a perfect job of it.

Good idea not to go for the full 6 minute version but a great effort by my reckoning, well done sir.
