Shirley Temple "Auld Lang Syne"

"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scottish song and can be translated as "Old times". It is about love and friendship.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

So, here's my hand my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o thine,
We'll meet again some other day
For the days of auld lang syne

Read about the song: Rejsem na wyspę

What are an Englishman's routines?

I don't drink coffee. - Nie piję kawy.

I take tea my dear. - Piję herbatę moja droga.

I like my toast done on one side. - Lubię tost wypieczony z jednej strony.

A walking cane here at my side; I take it everywhere I walk. - Laska przy boku, zabieram ją wszędzie.

What does an Englishman think?

Manners make a man - Człowieka poznajemy po manierach.

Be yourself no matter what they say - Bądź sobą, niezależnie od tego, co ludzie mówią.

At night a candle's brighter than the sun. - świeczka w nocy świeci jaśniej niż słońce

(It) Takes more than combat gear to make a man - Potrzeba czegoś więcej niż uzbrojenie, by być mężczyzną.

Sing along - ABBA "Thank you for the music"

This song is a story of a girl who loves music. She says some interesting things about her life:

I'm nothing special. - Nie jestem nic specjalnego.

I'm a bit of a bore. - Trochę ze mnie nudziara.

I have a talent. - Mam talent.

Everyone listens when I start to sing. - Wszyscy słuchają, gdy śpiewam.

Without a song or a dance what are we? - Czym jesteśmy bez piosenki i tańca?

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk. - Mama mówi, że tańczyłam zanim umiałam chodzić.

I began to sing long before I could talk. - Zaczęłam śpiewać na długo przed tym, zanim umiałam mówić.

Everyone has a talent. What is your talent?

Let me know!
