He sings verses in Spanish and German, and I can't make out what words he is saying :( Would especially like to know what he is saying in Spanish. Can anyone help? Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JBVbeFnkg |

"Todo el mundo habla de una manera nueva para andar" ~= "Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of walking" and "una manera + a verb in the infinitive without a preposition" doesn't work. |
