Lyric Mix-Up: Robarte un Beso

Robarte un Beso, by Carlos Vives & Sebastian Yatra, won many of our March Madness Music brackets, and we can’t let these teen picks go to waste! If student choice matters, see the list of music fun that I compiled below for more ways to use your favorite songs.

In this video we can see my students ordering the Robarte un Beso lyrics, singing along, and sometimes laughing without focus. Oh, well! Here is the PDF document for this song: Robarte Un Beso Lyric Ordering

Also, here is my favorite Baile Viernes for Robarte un Beso. It’s one of the most simple I could find, which minimizes frustration for my students… and Profe. Breckley.
