Welcome to my multi-language blog! I hope you find it interesting. Currently I am learning French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Mandarin to a greater or lesser degree depending on freetime and the level of my motivation. Thanks to some nice friends I can keep this motivation high enough to keep progressing. Please leave some comments if you like. Don't forget to visit my chatroom at Paltalk.com "AlanLancs1 language chatroom" in the "learning and universities" category - see you there!

The owl and the pussy cat

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to seaIn a beautiful pea-green boat:
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Pussy said to the Owl,
"You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the bong-tree grows;
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

Bonjour Alan, c'est très mignon mais j'ai beaucoup de mal à le traduire.
Bonne soirée
Bettina

Ne t'inquiètes pas - le poeme est un peu bizarre - l'idée est un peu fou. Dans une certaine façon, c'est pour mettre une idée un peu ridicule et des mots qui portent un certain rythme - à mon avis biensur. Je suppose d'autres pourraient trouver dans ce poeme quelque chose plus sophistiquée que moi....

Cheers

Alan

Племяннице моей сестры исполняется 4 , выбираем, что презентовать на ДР порекомендуйте, что занимательно в таком возрасте детям. У нее обожаемая игрушка - умный щенок, намереваемся, может презентовать мишку http://mishkiland.ru/subcategory_item.php?id=600 . Или порекомендуйте что-либо аналогичное.
