A New Year, New Beginning

Hi all,

It will be a tough year for you. Good luck!!!

A Christmas Tree

To decorate a Christmas Tree
You need two things
First a three, then the ornaments on the tree

To decorate a Christmas Tree
You need three things
Except the tree and the ornaments
The belief for the coming glorious days

To decorate a Christmas Tree
Just one thing is enough
Not the tree or the ornaments
But the thing is the illusion
Of my naive soul which
Sees the pebbles as diamonds

To decorate a Christmas Tree
Merely the fantasy is enough

Happy New Year and Happy illusions to all

Zahrad
Translated by 12 Foreign Languages Department Students

More poems

After listening to il faut savoir


I come for you
Please hold my hand
And dance with me
I want to be with you forever
No no no it's not possible
I forgot everything for a sudden
 Choose either me or the person
However your choise is the other
And now you're lonely
I can't do anything for you
Rubina

Please come with me
Leave everything and come with me
We can go everywhere
Wherever you want
We will be happy
I promise you
Wear your best dress
And start to dance with me
At that time forget everything
Please come with me.
Mari

Here is the English version of the song:

You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness
Never look for sympathy

You've got to learn although it's very hard
The way of pocketing your pride
Sometimes face humiliation
While you were burning up inside
Facing reality is often hard to do
When it seems happiness is gone

You've got to learn to hide your tears
And tell your heart life must go on

You've got to learn to leave the table
When love's no longer being served
To show everybody that you're able
To leave without saying a word

You've got to learn to hide your sorrow
And go on living as before
What good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have in store

You've got to learn to be much stronger
At times your head must rule your heart

You've got to learn from hard experience
And listen to advice
And sometimes pay the price
And learn to live with a broken heart
