i deal with russian-english translators via work and know a particularly nice young lady from Georgia.... would you like me to ask her to translate.... please note she is very shy and unworldly so anything that may be risky will offend.... ;)
:) thanks. I can translate it word to word, also, but the meaning won't be transfered. If you know what I mean:)...But thanks anyway for the offer. From Georgia...I bet she miss her home:)
My father gave me the name of some really old country singer, but I cannot remember it because... Well, probably just out of sheer laziness. He's going to lone me the tape, though.
"Long about 1825 I left Tennesee very much alive And I never would've made it through that Arkansas mud if I hadn't been ridin' that Tennesee stud. The Tennesee stud was long and lean Colour of the sun 'n his eyes were green Now he had the nerve and he had the blood, And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee Stud!"
"Full fathom five Thy father lies Those were pearls that were his eyes Of his bones are coral made Nothing of him that remains But hath suffered a sea change Into something rich and strange." -- The Tempest
My mother had an album of Shakespearean consort music that she had gotten to write a paper back in college. I found it during one of my many bouts of digging through things that I wasn't supposed to in the basement and/or attic. Furthermore, I found out that it bugged the heck out of my siblings when I played it. Other kids played heavy metal to rebel, I listened to Shakespearean music with the speakers turned all the way up so there was nowhere in the house you could go to get away from it, BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (It almost made up for the times when we were little that my brother and sister, who were one year apart in age, ganged up on me.)
For the baby, though, I sing "Little White Duck" for bathtime, and a song of our own composing called "Splashing in the Bathy-Tub", which she knows is _just for her_.

Date: 2006-08-04 06:38 pm (UTC)American Girls by Counting Crows is like one of my all time favorite songs. If you like that type of music (layed back rock?) you'd love it.
