| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "My life won’t be the same." |
| Alex: Mi vida ya no será igual |
| Eric: This phrase is used a lot to express that something has happened that will impact you greatly. It could either be something with a negative or positive impact. Listen again- "My life won’t be the same" is... |
| Alex: (SLOW) Mi vida ya no será igual (REGULAR) Mi vida ya no será igual |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "with someone special by my side." |
| Alex: con alguien especial a mi lado |
| Eric: In Mexican culture, couples like to commemorate the day on which they began their relationship, and also to give each other presents when they celebrate each month's anniversary. Listen again- "with someone special by my side" is... |
| Alex: (SLOW) con alguien especial a mi lado (REGULAR) con alguien especial a mi lado |
| Eric: Altogether, "My life won’t be the same with somebody special by my side!" |
| Alex: ¡Mi vida ya no será igual con alguien especial a mi lado! |
