April Come She Will

Because of my foot injury I returned to my old hobby: Playing the guitar and singing songs. Here is the last attempt of my favourite Simon and Garfunkel song, 'April Come She Will'. I stumbled a little over some of the words but on the whole I'm quite happy with it.

Food for thought

Do you use google translate? Have you ever thought about how it works? Read this article.

Note: the translator has translated the idiomatic title into Hungarian perfectly well. So, somebody must have used that phrase in a translation earlier :)

And this is what the 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' has to say about translation:

Sitting here resting my bones

This is a pretty cool way of wasting time. I wholeheartedly recommend it. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. Watch, listen and read. Or just lie back and whistle along :)




Lyrics:

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

[Refrain]
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just...
[Refrain]

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just...
