Lee Marvin I was born under a Wandering Star


Lee Marvin I was born under a Wandering Star


I was born under a wandrin' star 
I was born under a wandrin' star 
Wheels are made for rolling, mules are made to pack 
I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back 
I was born under a wandrin' star 

Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry 
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry 
Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to 
Which with any luck will never come true 
I was born under a wandrin' star 
I was born under a wandrin' star 

Do I know where hell is, hell is in hello 
Heaven is goodbye forever, its time for me to go 
I was born under a wandrin' star 
A wandrin' wandrin' star 

(Mud can make you prisoner and the plains can bake you dry) 
(Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry) 
(Home is made for coming from, for dreams of going to) 
(Which with any luck will never come true) 
(I was born under a wandrin' star) 
(I was born under a wandrin' star) 

When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree 
For I'll begin to roam and soon you'll know where I will be 
I was born under a wandrin' star 
A wandrin' wandrin' star

comenius_llp_logos¡Sí, ya somos Comenius! Nuestro proyecto: “Youth & Human Rights - Awareness & Responsibility”, elaborado con un instituto danés ha sido una de las tres únicas asociaciones escolares bilaterales Comenius de la Comunidad Valenciana aprobadas en la convocatoria 2013. Durante dos cursos estaremos trabajando con mucha ilusión sobre la temática de los Derechos Humanos y reforzando nuestra visión europea. Parte de este proyecto son las movilidades entre los dos países; de hecho, del 30 de octubre al 6 de noviembre tendremos el placer de recibir a nuestros socios daneses y de realizar actividades muy diversas con ellos. Esperamos que todo el centro y, no solo los alumnos de inglés práctico de bachillerato que trabajarán más directamente con ellos, se beneficie de esta experiencia tan enriquecedora.

A DIFFERENT VIEW ON THE SPANISH CRISIS

Crisis, unemployment, debt, premium risk, It seems impossible to detach our country from these words. However, if we pay closer attention, we see Spain is a country full of opportunities. It´s just a matter of changing your perspective. Crisis, paro, deuda, prima de riesgo, rescate... Parece imposible que el país se despegue de estas palabras, sin embargo, si nos fijamos bien, España es un país lleno de oportunidades. Solo hay que cambiar el punto de vista.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827): O Freunde - Oh friends


The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827). Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best-known works of the Western classical repertoire.[1] Among critics, it is almost universally considered to be among Beethoven's greatest works, and is considered by some to be the greatest piece of music ever written.[1]
The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony[2] (thus making it a choral symphony). The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additions made by the composer. Today, it stands as one of the most played symphonies in the world.

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,
und freudenvollere.
Freude! (men's chorus: Freude! )
Freude! (chorus again: Freude! )
Oh friends, not these tones!
Rather, let us raise our voices in more pleasing
And more joyful sounds!
Joy! (Joy!)
Joy! (Joy!)
(More words...)
