Learn English with Songs – Rude by Magic
Welcome to #MusicFriday!
Are you married? Single? In a relationship? Do you want to get married? We ask because the song we will learn today is all about a man asking his future father-in-law for permission to marry his daughter. It's so romantic!
But... he says no! The father-in-law says he will not give permission, so the singer (Nasri) tells him "I will marry her anyway!".
This song is the debut single of Canadian reggae fusion band Magic! Do you like it?
