Children's Songs. The Blacksmith's Apprentice

Belgian Folk Song

A smith had an apprentice once
Who was not very fa-a-a-a-ast,
Of all the workers in the crew
He always was the last.
But this is what he did at noon
When lunch was served for all;
He was the first one in the line,
He never missed the call.

Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
We're just as gay as we can be.
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
There's none as gay as we.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we can be.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we.

The blacksmith said to him,
"My boy, I wonder, yes I do-o-o-o-o.
I always thought that 'slow at work'
Meant 'slow at eating' too.
With you, it doesn't work that way,
You save your hands and feet.
At work, you're slow and lazy,
But you hurry when you eat."

Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
We're just as gay as we can be.
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
There's none as gay as we.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we can be.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we.

"You wonder, well, I'll tell you!"
Said the young man with a ro-o-o-o-oar,
"We eat a mere one-hour lunch,
But work for FOURTEEN more.
Now, if I'd use those fourteen hours
To lunch instead of work,
I'd eat as slowly as could be,
But work I would not shirk!"

Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
We're just as gay as we can be.
Hallee halloh, halloh hallee,
There's none as gay as we.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we can be.
Tra la la, tra la la,
As gay as we.

    [...] Music Matters (via Music Motivation®) Posted on November 25, 2010 by inislamicworld For us to connect with music on a deeper level we need to understand why music matters to us and what music means. Music can be expressed and received on many levels. How we relate to music and how music affects us is personal to each of us. The effect of music on us is the experience we feel, the memories we've created, the emotions that stir within us when we listen to the music, and what happens to us as a result of the power of music.

    He didn't want kids, huh, he already has three. You gotta feel for guys on this matter. I mean he already has three kids with 1 partner, then meeting some else who wants kids … so on. Maybe he just doesn't want a lot of kids. Maybe he's content with the kids he already has – which makes it hard when you are in a relationship with someone who wants kids!
