Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner we may meet...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Hmmm... so how did that work out for you?
To: JenB
Is "Don't Mind Lai-Lai Boy" a transliteration or an actual translation of what the words mean?
To: Scott from the Left Coast; ecurbh
Yes...!!! Congrats. Good luck and stuff like that there.

Some of the lyrics are in English - it's pretty common in anime to have some words English - and those happen to be English, more or less.

Thanks--wasn't sure if those were really English words or if they just sounded like it, LOL! I've noticed some anime songs have English words thrown in--the Teen Titans song is like that.
To: Wneighbor
Ate the whole what? That whole plate of pasta. I cooked up more than I shoulda.

Hoping to back among the ranks of the gainfully employed soon. It's a good thing, at first, at least. Then you can again join the ranks of people that can't wait for Friday. :-)

That whole plate of pasta. I cooked up more than I shoulda. I just finished a couple of tacos and an extra buttered tortilla. Was good.

I actually find it interesting which anime don't have English words - Escaflowne, for instance, and Rurouni Kenshin use English only when talking about some foreign term. Other anime sprinkle it in almost randomly. "Lost Universe" has it all over the starship display screens!

didn't...I'm a slave now.
To: JenB
I kinda figure when they use English words it's usually a proper name--like I've seen English words Japanese Coca-Cola ads. There's also the reverse phenomenon--"Gojira" in Japanese became "Godzilla" in English. BTW I think if you look close at the signs in "Blade Runner" you can kinda see examples of this, too.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
didn't...I'm a slave now.Yeah, but you ain't mopin' around the house depressed cause you don't have a job anymore. Now, you gotta do that depression and mopin' at the office!
