Hospital, Part II

Again, still alive.  And I made hospital buddies.  These hospital stays have done wonders for my social life.

Cleopatra Stratan

This little girl is famous in Romania, and started recording music at age 3.  I bought those recordings from the iTunes store.  I think what's so special about her is that she sings as a child, not as a child trying to sing as an adult like some other child prodigy singers.  And the songs she sings are child songs.  Like this one, "Zunea Zunea", which is a story about the girl pouring water for all the plants and animals coming to visit her.



Intr-o seara cu Costica
One night with Costica
Eu c-o sticla, el c-o sticla
Me with a bottle, he with a bottle
Am udat cu mana noastra
We watered with our hands
Florile de pe fereastra
The flowers in the window

Restul ce-o ramas in sticla
The rest that's left in the bottle
I-am turnat si lui pisica
We poured to the cat
Nu stiu floarea ce-o sa simta
I don't know what the flower will feel
Dar pisica d-amu canta
But the cat has started singing from now
Si noi cantam cu dansa...
And we sing with it...

Hop-pa Zunea-Zunea
Hop-pa toata lumea
Hopa-pa everybody
Lumea toata ii incantata
The whole world is enchanted
De pisica talentata
About the talented cat

Hop-pa hai ca-i buna
Hop-pa cause it's good
Hop-pa nu-i o gluma
Hop-pa it's not a joke
Toti il cata pe Costica
Everybody seeks for Costica


Sa le mai aduc o sticla!
Let me bring them one more bottle!
Sa le mai aduca o sticla!
Let me bring them one more bottle!
Toti il cata pe Costica
Everybody seeks for Costica
Sa le mai aduca o sticla!
Let me bring them one more bottle!


Pestisorii sa nu taca
So that fishes don't stay quiet
Le-am turnat si lor oleaca
I've poured them also a little
Numai ratele din curte
Only the ducks in the yard
Mute-au fost si-au ramas mute
Were silent and stayed silent

Nu stiu ce-o sa fie maine
I don't know what will happen tomorrow
Dar acum la toti le e bine
But now it's good for everybody
Cum se vede mai Costica
How it shows Costica
Sigur n-o fost apa-n sticla!
Surely there was no water in the bottle
Dar ce-o fi fost acolo?
But what was there?

Hop-pa Zunea-Zunea
Hop-pa toata lumea
Hopa-pa everybody
Lumea toata ii incantata
The whole world is enchanted
De sticluta fermecata
By the charmed bottle

Hop-pa hai ca-i buna
Hop-pa cause it's good
Hop-pa nu-i o gluma
Hop-pa it's not a joke
Pana dimneata toata lumea
Till the morning everybody
Canta numai Zunea-Zunea!
Is singing only Zunea-Zunea!

Canta numai Zunea-Zunea
Is singing only Zunea-Zunea
Pana dimneata toata
Until morning all
Canta numai...
Is singing only...

Violin II

Is it normal for the fingers of your left hand to turn black after playing?

Am I supposed to clean the neck somehow?

Violin

Bought one and signed up for beginner's lessons.  Yay.

But I've rosined the bow about 20 times over the last couple of days.  How come it still makes no sound?
