Winter time

Music in our life

Demi Lovato "Let It Go"( 'Frozen' soundtrack)


It's snowing now! At last winter has come in all its beauty!
So let's sing a Frozen soundtrack "Let It Go"

Let It Go (оригинал Demi Lovato)

Отпускаю

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Can't hold you back anymore

Не могу больше удерживать тебя.

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Turn my back and slam the door

Разворачиваюсь и хлопаю дверью.

The snow blows white on the mountain tonight

Снег застилает белым покровом горы,

Not a footprint to be seen

Скрывая любые следы.

A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the Queen

Королевство уединения, в котором, кажется, я королева.

The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside

Ветер воет, словно вихри в душé,

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Видит бог, я старалась вытерпеть, но не смогла.

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Не доверяйся, ничего не показывай им,

Be the good girl

Будь хорошей девочкой,

You always had to be

Какой тебе всегда следовало быть.

Conceal, don't feel

Скрой чувства,

Don't let them know

Не давай им узнать...

Well, now they know

Что ж, теперь они знают.

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Can't hold you back anymore

Не могу больше удерживать тебя.

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Turn my back and slam the door

Разворачиваюсь и хлопаю дверью.

And here I stand, and here I'll stay

И вот я здесь и больше никуда не денусь,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

Let it go

Отпускаю,

The cold never bothered me anyway

Холод всё равно никогда не волновал меня.

It's funny how some distance

Забавно, как при отдалении

Makes everything seem small

Всё кажется таким ничтожным,

And the fears that once controlled me

И страхи, которые когда-то управляли мной,

Can't get to me at all

Теперь ни капли меня не беспокоят.

Up here in the cold thin air

Здесь, наверху, в ледяном разреженном воздухе

I finally can breathe

Я наконец могу дышать.

I know left a life behind

Я знаю, что оставила жизнь позади,

But I'm too relieved to grieve

Но слишком спокойна, чтобы тосковать о ней.

Some Fun

Enjoy some fun from Disney: Frozen trailer;)

Great People/Великие люди

Walt Disney - great animator

A look at the culture: Black Friday/Взгляд на культуру: Черная Пятница

Black Friday in the USA

Tomorrow, my dear friends, is Black Friday ! But why is it black?!
Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States (the fourth Thursday of November), often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation was made: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss ("in the red") from January through November, and "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or "in the black".

Black Friday is not an official holiday, but on this day many workers have got a day off, except employees of retailers, as on this day crowds of customers increas significantly. On Black Friday stores are open very early at  5 am. The first buyers are offered deep discounts - this is done in order to attract the stores as much as possible buyers.

This Black Friday rush reminds me a lovely family comedy with Arnold Schwarzenegger "Jingle All The Way"( "Christmas Present" in Russian variant)

Big Hugs for you!;)
