IRELAND, EIRE

WOLFE TONES, CELTIC SYMPHONY

http://www.allthelyrics.com/es/lyrics/wolfe_tones/celtic_symphony-lyrics-653113.html#ixzz3sLslDLSk


It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
Chorus 1
Na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na.
I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,
I've roamed this world round and round,
He's the meanest thing that I have found,
In all my days of wander.
Chorus 1

But I could see his evil eyes,
Twas then he took me by surprise,
Take me to your paradise,
I want to see the Jungle.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Here we go again,
We're on the road again,
We're on the road again,
We're on our way to Paradise,
We love the jungle deep,
That's where the lion sleeps,
For in those evil eyes,
They have no place in Paradise.




Chorus 3


Grafitti on the walls just as the sun was going down,
I seen graffitti on the walls( Of the CELTS, Of the CELTS),
Graffitti on the walls that says we're Magic, We're Magic,
Graffiti on the walls.......Graffiti on the walls........
And it said..............
Ooh ah up the Ra, say ooh ah up the Ra (x6).
We went to each jungle deep,
For the Paradise that we did seek,
Was no trip for the weak,
We're waltzing with the natives.
Chorus 1
From the Amazon to Borneo,
From Africa to Tokyo,
To the darkest jungles of the world,
But nowhere could I lose him.


Chorus 1
Around in circles every way,
He turned to me and he did say,
I think you're leading me astray,
I want your soul me boyo!
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Chorus 3

WRITING ABOUT THE PAST: 


You have to write a report about an ancient place you know; it can be a fortress, a castle, an old house, anything that has a lot of history and you have heard stories or real events that have happened in that place. 

· It can be a story about a house in your village, a haunted palace, a spooky place that is connected to strange phenomena (ghosts, psychophonies, war time stories, etc.) the church or cathedral of a city, etc. 

·Minimum: 80 word should be enough to write about this place. 

·All the verbs (most of them) should be in PAST SIMPLE and PAST CONTINUOUS to write about the stories, the tales, the things that happened in that place. 



· The text should have at least 3 paragraphs: 

                 · First a short Introduction: where is the place located, when did you go for the first time, 
                   why is so special for you, do you go normally or you went once, etc. 

                 · Then the Main paragraph 1. Description of the place (how do you remember the 
                              place?): 
                            · Describe the place using THERE was  and THERE were, for example. 
                               " This castle was very old ; in the front courtyard there 
                              were some sculptures of some creatures and they 
                              were so old, no one  knew they really are. There was also a fountain 
                              near them". 
                            · What happened in that place ? (a war, a love story, a UFO                                                                          landed, etc. ). Tell the legend, story, tale that you hace heard                                                                        of. 
                  · How did you feel when you visited the place?                                                                              " I felt nervous because...".                                                                                                       " I felt happy because...". 
                               Remember to include the vocabulary about FEELINGS. 
                               " I went there with my friend Ane and it was so dark that                                                                                we were excited and at the same time a little bit scared."

                · Final conclusions: This is the last paragraph and you have to convince the reader why                          anybody should visit this place. 
                              "I recommend going to this place because it is ..."

The Basque Poets: The History of the Bertsolari


                 Bilintx was a great bertsolari. His bertso was mainly about love affairs, he sang about his platonic loves. He was a kind of a loser, a pessimist and a romantic too.
The most famous bertso of Bilintx:  

                                                  Triste bizi naiz eta 
hilko banintz hobe
Badauzkat bihotzean
zenbait atsegabe
Dama bat maitatzen det 
bainan haren jabe
sekulan izaiteko 
esperantzik gabe.
Bihotz baten lekuan
mila baniztuzke
guziak zuretako
izanen litezke
bainan mila lekuan 
bat bertzerik ez det
                                                       har zazu bai maitia 
                                                       bat hau mila bider.
Neure maite pollita
nola zeran bizi,
zortzi egun hauetan
ez zaitut ikusi
uste det zabiltza 
ni gandik ihesi
ez didazu emaiten 
atsegabe gutxi!
Nere amodioa
hain fina izanik
beti gogoan zauzkat
ahaztu gaberik
ez da mundu guzian 
inor gauza denik
                                                            dama zu maitazeko 
                                                            hainbeste nola nik.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertsolaritza

                As of 1960, bertsolaritza became a mechanism to denounce social repression. Following the disappearance of protectionism, Lopategi and Azpillaga (in the south) and Xalbador and Mattin (in the north) promoted the art as a means of expression. 

               Bertsolaritza became a defensive tool: the Ez Dok Hamairu group, for example, sang tirelessly of the repression of Basque culture. The survival of Basque culture between 1968 and 1980 was in any case no easy task.
