Día de los Autores Europeos

 Con motivo del Día de los Autores Europeos visitamos la Escuela de Idiomas de Santander. Allí nuestros embajadores junto con los del IES Cantabria y IES Alberto Pico mas alumnado de la propia Escuela de Idiomas, leyeron textos de autores europeos en las cinco lenguas que se estudian en esta escuela: Inglés, Francés, Alemán, Portugués e Italiano. 

Nuestros chicos y chicas recitaron en inglés textos de la banda irlandesa de rock U2 y del poeta canadiense John McCrae.

Aquí os dejamos los textos:

In Flanders Fiels, John McCrae.

 

El primer capítulo de In Flanders Fields and Other Poems, una recopilación de las obras de McCrae realizada en 1919, muestra el texto del poema como sigue:

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

One, U2

 

Is it getting better?

Or do you feel the same?

Will it make it easier on you now?

You got someone to blame

You say, one love, one life

When it's one need in the night

One love, we get to share it

Leaves you baby if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well it's too late tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One!

Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus?

To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much? More than a lot

You gave me nothin' now it's all I got

We're one but we're not the same

Well we hurt each other then we do it again

You say love is a temple, love a higher law

Love is a temple, love the higher law

You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl

And I can't be holdin' on to what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love, one blood

One life, you got to do what you should

One life, with each other

Sisters, brothers

One life but we're not the same

We get to carry each other, carry each other

One

One
