Что-то долго мы не обновляли наш сайтик. Сегодня, вспоминая о недавно прошедшем дне Святого Валентина и только что случившемся 23-м февраля и в ожидании 8-го марта выкладываем текст и ссылку на новую - хотя и старую - песенку в исполнении Sinead O’Connor и Terry Hall:

All Kinds Of Everything.

Уверена - вам она очень понравится. Она простая и милая, и уже вполне весенняя.

Вот немножко об этой песне из Wikipedia:

“All Kinds of Everything” is a song written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith which as performed by Dana won the Eurovision Song Contest 1970. Regarded as one of the stronger Contest entries[citation needed], “All Kinds of Everything” represented a return to the ballad form from the more energetic performances which had dominated Eurovision the previous years. Dana sings about all the things which remind her of her sweetheart, with the admission at the end of every verse that “all kinds of everything remind me of you”. The recording by Dana became an international hit.

Sinéad O’Connor and Terry Hall recorded “All Kinds of Everything” for the 1998 album A Song For Eurotrash; the track was also featured on O’Connor’s 2005 release Collaborations.

Под тегом more - текст песни на английском с пояснениями. Слушаем песню здесь. Enjoy!

All kinds of everything

(the bolded words are translated into Russian in the same line)

Snowdrops and daffodils, подснежники и нарциссы
Butterflies and bees, бабочки и пчелы
Sailboats and fishermen, парусники
Things of the sea,
Wishing wells and wedding bells, фонтаны желаний*
Early morning dew, роса
All kinds of everything все на свете
Remind me of you. напоминает

Seagulls and aeroplanes, чайки
Things of the sky,
Winds that go howling, воют
Breezes that sigh, вздыхают
City sight, neon lights,
Grey skies or blue,
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.

Summer time, winter time,
Spring and autumn too,
Monday, Tuesday, everyday,
I think of you.

Dances, romances,
Things of the night,
Sunshine and holidays,
Postcards to write. - открытки, которые (предстоит) написать

Parting trees, autumn leaves, умирающие, угасающие
Snowflake or two, снежинка
All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.

Summer time, winter time,
Spring and autumn too,
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you.

Dances, romances,
Things of the night.

Sunshine and holidays,
Postcards to write,
Parting trees, autumn leaves,
A snowflake or two.

All kinds of everything
Remind me of you.

С НОВЫМ 2010-м ГОДОМ,

> НОВЫЙ КУРС! Start Deutsch A1 Гете-Института

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:55:48 +0000

Дорогие наши немцы! Мы рады сообщить вам, что у нас осуществляется подготовка к сдаче экзамена
Start Deutsch A1 (по ссылке - все об этом экзамене на сайте Goethe Institut). Расценки на этот курс см. здесь. К подготовке к этому экзамену Вы можете приступить даже с нулевым уровнем немецкого.

> ДВУХРАЗОВЫЕ группы.

admin — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:19:50 +0000

Активизируется набор в двухразовые группы: занятия 2 раза в неделю по 1 часу 45 минут (105 минут). Если вы очень заняты - возможно, это подходящий вариант. Просим заметить, что продолжительность курса при двухразовом режиме увеличивается примерно на треть (каждый уровень длится 9 месяцев против 6-ти в группах трехразовых), поскольку объем материала, подлежащего усвоению для перехода на следующий уровень, изменить нельзя (без снижения качества). Зато стоимость каждого месяца занятий ниже. Трехразовые группы работают в полном объеме, как и прежде.

ПРИСОЕДИНЯЙТЕСЬ!

> ПРИЯТНЫЕ НОВОСТИ по ценам.

> Sinead O’Connor

admin — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:04:55 +0000

Все помнят хит 90-х “Nothing Compares 2U”, странную и прекрасную Sinead и ее своеобразный, неповторимый голос. Сегодня мы решили напомнить вам о ней, а на днях разместим и еще одну из ее менее известных, но потрясающих песен - “Mandinka”, с которой она выиграла Grammy в 1987 году. На сайдбаре вы сможете найти и другие песни этой неординарной исполнительницы.

О Шинейд читаем здесь.
Nothing Compares 2U - здесь. Текст - под тегом more.

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you’ve been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you’ll do
But he’s a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Michael Jackson - They don’t care about us.

admin — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 10:34:10 +0000

They Don’t Care About Us” is the fourth single from Michael Jackson’s album HIStory. The song remains one of the most controversial pieces Jackson ever composed. In the US, media scrutiny surrounding alleged antisemitic lyrics were the catalyst for Jackson issuing multiple apologies and re-recording the album–altering the lyrics for that particular track. The singer countered allegations of antisemitism, arguing that reviews had misinterpreted the context of the song, either unintentionally or deliberately. Musically, it is an aggressive hip-hop production about social ills. (see Wikipedia entry for more info). Listen to the song onthe sidebar or here.

“They Don’t Care About Us”

Skin head, dead head
Everybody’s gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody’s allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody’s dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody’s gone mad
