Tuesday, August 22, 2006: Yesterday and Today II
And why not? I have another post entitled "Yesterday and Today" in French.
Today is Denyse's birthday! Happy birthday yo! (Am I overdoing it?)
Anyway I feel kind of poetically inspired again - this time by the birthday girl's blog URL.
~ L'étranger de ma vie ~
Vous, les étrangers dans ma vie, sortez.
Vous, l'étranger de ma vie, entrez.
Allez-vous-en, tous les autres.
Il y a seulement un qui peut rester.
Allez, les étrangers dans ma vie.
Venez, étranger de ma vie.
Sans regard à tous les autres,
je vous ai suivi...
Aux étrangers dans ma vie, je souris.
À cet étranger de ma vie, je dis bonjour.
Mais est-ce qu'on sera comme ça
Pour toujours... ?
On ne sera pas d'étrangers toujours,
j'espère.
[NOTE: I was inspired by the URL, not the occasion. This isn't a poem you'd expect to be greeted with on a birthday.]
I'll only put up the translation at the birthday girl's request. And do please note, this is amateur French, so please forgive any mistakes (if you can find them that is!).
Had a slew of three tests these two days. Science Practical, Chinese Listening and Contrôle 3. I hope I haven't been slain by these tests, at any rate. (Hahaha! Anyone get the pun?)
Science Practical was the usual mad rush. My heart was pulsing through my head, and I couldn't concentrate.
Chinese Listening... très facile (very easy)!
Contrôle 3... For once, I experienced a killer passage. Haven't felt this kind of tension in ages. And I'm glad to be relieved of it.
As soon as I get them, I'm going to post some screenies of the forum thread. And I have to go email the photos.
All you well wishers among the ChoralFest-ers please GO TO THE FORUM. There's a thread there. Thank you.
