Hello my dear friend Terry :-)

Finally here I am back to you! I'm eager to go over your
Poet of The Month
thread and dedicate a few more time for your talent and wonderful poems.

Words are not quite my strong points so, what could I say to you, to give a bit of what you give to me and to us?! Difficult task!

I think the best way to thank for your kindness, nice words and continuous support despite of your "tight" time would be a piece of authentic Romanian folklore, performed by Tudor Gheorghe - the one who sing The Walz of The Roses -
as for the best goes only the best :-)

Title: Oh, What Longing, Pain and Grief


click the rose for the music! :-)

The title shows much more sadness than it will transmit you the music :-)
This is how, Romanians, go through the most of life's struggles, some how making fun of it! The lyrics are difficult to translate, but its about a lover longing for his love's eyes.



With friendship,
Anamaria

Oh my, WHAT A LINE UP OF WONDERFUL FRIENDS :-)

I so much agree with you:

Great BFA Team keeping up with the great job you are doing in this forum

Thank you so much
 SAMI
for taking some of your valuable time to come here.

Your words are so precious for me and I'm so happy to know you find Romania an informative and fun place to be :-)

Autumn is also beautiful in Romania, as you could see in my post for Joe, too!

Let me give you another piece of Autumn:
AUTUMN EMOTIONS

((youtube id="cOFD_tCmiNI"))((/youtube))

I tried to translate the lyrics which are kind of these:

Autumn is here, please cover my heart
with the shadow of a tree, or better with your own.

Sometimes, I'm afraid I won't see you anymore,
That sharp wings will grow from within me up to the clouds,
That you will hide into a strangers eyes,
which will be closed with a wormwood leaf.

Thank, I keep silence closer the stones,
take the words and drown them in the see.
I whistle the Moon, rise it and turn
into a BIG LOVE.

- written by NICHITA STANESCU -
the Romanian version I mean :-)


I very much hope you can see something of its "content" out of my less poetic translation LOL

With lots of friendship,
Anamaria

My Dearest Friend,
Branka
:-)

Finally I managed to get over here?! Usually I'm so eager to see you and have a message from you no matter where and now, look at me?! How late I'm here back to you?! Shame on ME! I very much hope you'll accept my humble apologies.

Thank you for your so very kind and beautiful post!

... well, I won't spend money on pipes but I won't spend them at all as I don't want you to be sad either a second :-)

What could I give you in return to Thank You for this beautiful Dream poem ;-)

hm, what do you say about this:


click for a sung version of the poem :-)

Mihai Eminescu

So Fresh Thou Art...
- ATAT DE FRAGEDA -

So like the sweet, white cherry blossom,
So tender and so fresh thou art,
And on my life's way like an angel
Appearing thou dost light impart.

Thou scarcely touches the soft carpet,
The silk on thee doth rustling stream,
From top to toe so light and lofty,
Thou floatest like an airy dream.

From draping folds like purest marble
Thine image unto me appears,
My whole soul on thine eyes is hanging,
Those eyes so full of joy and tears.

O happy dream of love, so happy,
Thou bride of fairy tales, so mild,
No, do not smile! Thy smile doth show me
How sweet thou art, thou gentle child.

My poor eyes thou canst close for ever
With deepest night's eternal charms,
With thy sweet lips' sweet fondling, whispers,
Embracing me with thy cool arms.

A veiling thought at once now passes
Thy glowing eyes thus covering:
It is the dark renunciation,
The sweetest yearning's shadowing.

Thou go'st away and, well I know it,
To follow thee must I no more,
Thou art for me now lost for ever,
My soul's dear bride, whom I adore.

My only guilt was that I saw thee,
Which I to pardon have no might,
Mine arm I'll stretch for ever vainly
To expiate my dream of light.

Like holy Virgin's purest image
In my fond eyes thou will rise now,
The brightest crown on forehead bearing,
Where dost thou go? When comest thou?

(1879, Translated by P. Grimm)


Sending you lots of friendship

Ani ;-)

Hello Lilly :-)

I am the one who should apologies for being late not you!?
As you see you couldn't be late as I was later than you were :-)

Do you love stamps? The one you posted is about another important and well known of our castles, PELES:



This is, yet again, something I should post about: so beautiful and attracting so many tourists.

Well, I wanted to post you a more folkloric version of a well known Romanian  song CIOCARLIA (The Lark), but with Peles goes much better one performed by our great musician and composer GEORGE ENESCU :-) Click the picture for the music!

Thank you
for all your kind words towards me and mainly about Romania :-)
You are always welcome and who knows, may be one day I'll guide you "live"

With lots of friendship,
Anamaria
