I wish your singing group will give a great performance with flying colours. Yuko Hi Simon,

Singing concert outside would be wonderful around this season,
when it could be cold though, Hammersmith is close to Earl’s Court where the B&D I stayed is located in London, isn’t it?

I wish your singing group will give a great performance with flying colours.

Yuko

Much of the meaning was lost in the English translation. I get so much more out of the song when it is sung in German. It would be cool if you sang Silent Night in the original German.

I can think of a few artists who sing their songs in more than one language, and I can also think of a few covers which are in another language, although they're not by the same artist.

No man should say "Jestem uśmiechnięta" :D That reminds me when during quite long time I was greeting my Thai friend with "Sawadikaa" how woman say "hello". She had good laugh :D However, there are only "św-" that would be difficult for Czech speaker. Your Polish friends will be joyful if you try all of the song; they'll love it. Most of people know only how to swear in Polish :( I have to say “uśmiechnięta” is feminin. No man should say “Jestem uśmiechnięta” :D
