Some thoughts about winter...
Winter has come
And the snow’s covered the land.
All the jobs have been done
And the year’s coming to end.
Fir-tree lights are burnt
And the people are wishing for good.
All the lessons are learned,
All the values are understood.
Let the old year go away,
Let the New Year come to my land
Let the old friend never betray,
Let the new friend give me a hand.
Let the people live always in peace
Let prosperity come to their homes,
Let their kindness ever increase,
Let them see coming true their hopes.
New day has come
And the nature is getting renewed.
All around become
More experienced, clever & cute.
Snow’s clear enough
Like the thoughts of an innocent child
Put on gloves & a scarf
Winter’s nice but the wind is so wild…
Let the old year go away,
Let the New Year come to my land
Let the old friend never betray,
Let the new friend give me a hand.
Let the people live always in peace
Let prosperity come to their homes,
Let their kindness ever increase,
Let them see coming true their hopes.
