Hello folks,

in Russia it's a bit too early to say "Marry Christmas", actually sometimes we don't say it at all and the main celebration is focused entirely on the New Year. But as I learn here, it's safe for me to say to you "Merry Christmas" right now. So Marry Christmas!

Well, the song I'm playing is not about it, it is in fact a song about a song.



You can find an English translation below, although it's not too accurate. Neither is my performance but I wanted to play it anyway. I used "DreamSchlager" style from "Entertainer" category.

And the temperature outside is... -2,2 F! (-19 C)

THE SONG REMAINS WITH YOU

Sky stars drift along blue rivers nightly.
Sky stars vanish mornings with no trace.
Only songs remain with people tightly
with a friendship and a lovely grace.

Refrain:

Thru the years, thru the long way distance,
at the dusty desert, by the ocean view –
you will never say “good-bye” to th`e songs;
they will never separate from you!

As the song flies, you are glad and smiling
from the cradle to the final fling…
How many songs you sang for darling,
how many songs more you will sing!

Refrain…

The song keeps you warm at bitter cold,
makes a cooling at the hottest day.
Who’s not able take up songs as gold –
Won’t be glad and happy on the way.
