Saturday, August 26, 2006: Fine...
OK, nothing shrank.
How do you tell?
Because I've gone back to my good old small font size.
Now I'm the one who's changing and either expanding or shrinking the fonts. And I have to change font size on 28 posts. Madness.
Do please take my song right back home with thee,
But please leave your smile here with me.
And tomorrow may our song fly to all the farthest shores,
And tomorrow may our smiles bloom and bloom forevermore.
This song was originally in Chinese, and it's well known in China, but I translated it such that it rhymes. It's really meaningful.
And there's another interesting song I heard at Zhonghua, sung by their current choristers at the exchange last week. The title's actually "Ah! Si mon moine voulait danser" instead of "Ah! Simon moine Voulait danser". Who capitalises a verb, seriously? The verb is "voulait", which is a form of "vouloir", meaning to want.
"Ah! If my friar wanted to dance"??
What a title!
Then the verses go, after the first line, "a *name of object* I'll give to him"
And the chorus means something like:
Dance, my friar, dance.
You won't hear the dance.
You won't hear my mill (lon-la is insignificant),
You won't hear my mill running.
Weird song eh? Or so I think.
And again, my dictionary has failed me. I don't know what the gifts are!
Boo hoo.
Now I have to change the font sizes.
Boo hoo hoo hoo...
