One day we must all cross the one stranded river. Where then will you be?
1 Auf Wiederseh’n! Ich frage dich nimmer mehr
Ob du auf mich an dem Weg warten wollest
Weil ich zum Todesstrand gefahren bin
Und hier nimmer mehr züruckkommen kann.
A song that could have been sung by the villagers to the returning Naomi, but that it is in German!
1 Es tut mir leid
um deinet willen:
Deine grimmige Not
kehrt dich unwillig um.
2 Es tut mir leid
dich anzusehen:
Deine glänzenden Aug’n
seh’n sich weinerlich um.
3 Es tut mir leid
du bist betrübt:
Der Allmächtige
gegen dich gesprochen hat.
4 Es tut mir leid
Na, es wird mir mehr leid tun:
Wenn er dich nicht
mit Sorge züchtigt,
Um dich zu verbessern
mit Heil und Gerechtigkeit.

La partida es tan dulce pena
Que diria buenas noches
Hasta que fuera mañana
Duerme el lamento en sus ojos
Paz en su pecho
Tendria sueño
Y paz tan dulce como para descansar?
La partida es tan dulce pena
La partida es tan dulce pena
William Shakespeare

Oh my Lord, O my Lord,
I need thee near me
All the days yes,
All of the days of my life
Yes, all of the days of my life

And walk by thy dear side

O how I need thy tender mercies
Each and ev’ry single day
Oh my Lord, O my Lord,

All the days yes,
All of the days of my life,
Yes, all of the days of my life
O my Lord,
My Lord

Each and ev’ry single day
Oh my Lord,

Warum kann ich nie?
1 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer hübsch und süss doch strahlt’st?
Dein Gesicht so klar
So fein dein Harr
Ich weiss nicht, na, was ich tue.
2 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer mit mir sprachtest?
Die Worten so klar
Wen du sagtest da
Nun ich höre dich immer im Sinn.
3 Warum kann ich nie vergessen
Dich wer bei mich betrübt schientest?
Du warest so klar
Und ich ein Narr
Um deinetwillen geh’ ich ab.
4 Wie kann ich dich immer vergessen
Dich wer mich hältet’st in Angst?
Das Ergebnis so klar
Verliesset mich bar.
Ich habe nie Hoffnung nie Rüh’.
Wie kann ich dich immer vergessen?
So hilfst du mir mein Gott

| Pure Chocolate’s Christmas greeting |
Deck the hall – Parri Ddall, Rhiwabon
Traditional – but with a difference
Deck the hall with Pure Chocolate
Deck the hall with Pure Choc’late
Tra la la la laa, tra la la la.
‘Tis the sea-son to eat choc’late
Tra la la la laa, tra la la la.
Please remember, please remember
Chocolate should never be
Ever less than fifty two percent
Tra la la la laa, tra la la la.
Bitte denkt daran dass Schokolade
nie weniger als zwei und fünfzig
prozent haben darf und immer
mit Sorgfalt gehandhabt werden müss.
Please remember, please remember
Chocolate should always be handled with care
Deck the hall with Pure Choc’late
Tra la la la laa, tra la la la.
Tra la la la laa, tra la la la.

Habakuk 2:2ff
Schreib das Gesicht und male es auf eine Tafel,
Daß es lesen könne, wer vorüberläuft!
Daß es lesen könne, wer vorüberläuft!
Die Weissagung wird ja noch erfüllt
Werden zu seiner Zeit
Und endlich frei an den Tag kommen
Und nicht ausbleiben, und nicht ausbleiben.
Ob sie aber verzieht, so harre ihrer:
Sie wird gewiß kommen und nicht verziehen.
Schreib das Gesicht und male es auf eine Tafel,
Daß es lesen könne, wer vorüberläuft!
Daß es lesen könne, wer vorüberläuft!
Siehe,
Wer halsstarrig ist,
Trotz alles seine List
Der in seinem Herzen wird
Keine Ruhe haben;
Aber der Gerechte wird
Durch den Heiland Jesu Christ
Bei seinen Glauben leben
Wo er ist.
Schreib das Gesicht
Und male es auf eine Tafel,
Daß es lesen könne,
Wer vorüberläuft!

All kings and all their favourites
All glory of honours beauty and wits
The sun itself which makes time as they pass
Is elder by a year now than it was
When thou and I first one another saw
All other things to their destruction draw
Only our love hath no decay
This no tomorrow hath, no yesterday
Running it never ran from us away
But truly keeps his first, last, everlasting day.
And then we shall be throughly blest ;
But now no more than all the rest.
Here upon earth we’re kings, and none but we
Can be such kings, nor of such subjects be.
Who is so safe as we? where none can do
Treason to us, except one of us two.
True and false fears let us refrain,
Let us love nobly, and live, and add again
Years and years unto years, till we attain
To write threescore; this is the second of our reign.
Two graves must hide thine and my corse ;
If one might, death were no divorce.
Alas ! as well as other princes, we
Who prince enough in one another be
Must leave at last in death these eyes and ears,
Oft fed with true oaths, and with sweet salt tears ;
But souls where nothing dwells but love
All other thoughts being inmates then shall prove
This or a love increasèd there above,
When bodies to their graves, souls from their graves remove.
John Donne (1572 – 31 March 1631)
Modified slightly for the song:
Is elder by some years now than it was
To write threescore; this is the silver of our reign.

Mice are nice – RBE Fyleman 6 March 1877 – 1 August 1957
For my friends in the IC: Credo enim delicatus mures sunt
I think mice
Are rather nice
Their tails are long
Their faces small
They haven’t any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink
Their teeth are white
They run about
the house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn’t touch
And no one seems
To like them much
But I think mice
Are nice.
