So, this is Christmas!
There are very different types of Christmases. No words are needed. I hope this videoclip makes you think a bit.
NEW YEAR
A famous song sung at the bells (the 12 chimes of the clock that mark the new year) is "Auld Lang Syne". This song is actually a traditional Scots language poem. it was written by the great poet Robert Burns, who lived in the 1700s. Burns wrote in Scots as well as in English. "Auld Lang Syne" ("Long, Long Ago") is his most famous work. Here are the lyrics with a rough translation.
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot ,
Should old friends be forgotten,
And never brought to mind?
And forgotten forever?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Should old friends be forgotten,
And days of auld lang syne?
Long, long ago.
Refrain
For auld lang syne, my dear
For long, long ago, my dear.
For auld lang syne
For long, long ago,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
We’ll have a drink in friendly company,
For auld lang syne.
For long, long ago.

ReplyDeleteWe don’t understand this world.
ReplyDeleteWe don’t understand why wars exist.
We only know that wars exist. Only.
We have seen “an eye for an eye will make us blind” video an we think that this video is terrible. The childrens were died by the irresponsibles politicans and this people have to pay that they have done in the wars. The wars are a caprice of the rich people to win a petrol or diamants and it is unjust because the people who die in this wars in the end are poor people and people have no time to eat and no one cares what happens to these people. I knew a guy who said that they made him bullying but ultimately rendered him not bullying but had a disease in the head.
