Time for a little entartainment my dear penpallers ;) Here's a nice old Polish song about postmen. I even translated the text for you. I guess the part about an uncle needs little explanation because it might sound a bit ridiculous. The song is from the times when it was difficult to get many things in shops. Also going abroad was almost impossible. If someone had family abroad who could send unavailable for majority things or clothes, such a person was an important persona. Right, I hope that explains a presence of an uncle in the song. Hope you'll enjoy it:) Do you know any songs connected with letter writing?
There are at least thousand villages and cities in the world
A man writes a letter at least once
People, get out of the way because the postman comes
Turn off the gas, so what that you have an uncle abroad?
People, get out of the way because the postman comes
And this moped of mine everyone here knows well
You’ll get a letter from an uncle
I know, who thinks in life doesn’t write anything
Who loves much writes a long letter
People, get out of the way because the postman comes
Postman’s bag is heavy of letters today
People, get out of the way because the postman comes
Maybe someone has been waiting for this letter for couple of long years
Maybe he’ll get it today
People write letters, regular, registered
They write that they love, can’t sleep or that they kiss you
People write letters, even in a small village
Letters grey, white, colorful
Take off your hat in front of the post.
I just know the one by 'The Carpenters'.. I think the tittle is 'Mr Postman'... It really lift my spirits up when hearing it coz' it's very catchy.
