Auld Lang Syne

(感謝網友spukan提供 )

今午和有段時日未見的摯友們吃著味美中飯,彼此開心的交換禮物,我收到了特產麵包,美酒,糖果,特色普洱茶,包裝精美手電筒(跨年上山看煙火剛好用來照明),二張Eagles精選輯和日本導演中島哲也的下妻物語和幸福魔法繪本二張偽正版dvd,一整個甜美午餐約會,幸福滿足的鐘響在心中不斷敲著,我有點衝動得想抱住他們,然後大聲吶喊~友誼萬歲!
今年是個安靜美好的一年,咖啡店裡的人生故事也不斷的上映著(有許多熟客每天固定到店裡坐,或者安靜或者聊上2小時....),在不知不覺中,孩子互相交託,心事.美食互相分享,我們都彼此成了對方的傾聽者,更熟一點的就變成了朋友,現回想起來,其實開店後我們就常收到熱情客戶送的禮物-印象中有義大利買的2012年曆(來店就可看到),法國咖啡糖棒,英國紅茶,老外熟客送的巧克力,好友出國帶回來新加坡,北京和倫敦的盤子,咖啡樹苗,團購名產或水果,精緻童書,全套英文會話cd還貼心附贈了隨身聽,自家種的各類當季蔬果,滷味,手工饅頭,糕點,好吃的富麗米,水果啤酒....像被某種溫柔事物包覆的感覺,幸福感破表啊!
Auld Lang Syne(友誼萬歲)這是首蘇格蘭古民謠,用蓋爾語寫的,英文可翻做"Times gone by",在蘇格蘭午夜倒數必唱,(電影版慾望城市可聽到),有送走舊的一年,迎接新的一年之意！
聖經上說舊事已過,一切都變成新的了!(林後5:17-18)

願老友,好友,新朋友在新的一年都能夠忘記背後,努力向前,健康平安,好事連年喔!

唱: Mairi Campbell & Dave Francis

曲名: Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,For auld lang syne.For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,For auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup !And surely I’ll be mine !And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.For auld lang syne, my dear,For auld lang syne,We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run aboot the braes And pou'd the gowans fine.

And we've wandered mony a weary fit,Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne,We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne. We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,Frae morning sun till dine,

But seas between us braid hae roared Sin' auld lang syne.For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne, We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

老友怎能忘記  心中不懷念？  老友怎能忘記  和那美好往昔。
為了往日友誼，讓我們舉杯暢飲，敬友誼地久天長。

我們曾走過山崗，品過野菊芳香，但如今各自奔波，有過美好往昔。
我們曾盪漾小溪，從日出到夕暮，但如今各自一方，往昔美好不再。

我信賴的朋友，友誼始終常在，讓我們舉杯，為友誼長存乾杯。

人生咖啡館_ a holy place

濕冷的夜,我在一片暗影中醒來,外頭正靜靜下著小雨,聽到自己捶鼓般的心跳聲,雖然心中一片澄明,感覺這夜像沒有盡頭,巨大的像被拔掉的插頭有著無盡的黑,但聽著枕邊人均勻平穩的呼吸聲,彷彿心裡面所有明亮的東西也規律轉動,滿溢平安~
喔!自己為什麼會在無盡的夜醒來?也許是許多積累在心裡的無來由的疲憊消失了!因為今午12:00婆婆外出後,我放肆的安睡到下午1:30,醒來後便踏著清朗愉快的腳步到店裡,像大小姐般的看小說喝咖啡,店內坐了二個老外加上收音機傳來英文老歌Eagle合唱團唱的The sad cafe~店內被一種溫暖光暈包圍,讓我恍如置身在異國的錯覺!
雖曲名是"傷心咖啡店",但Inside the Sad Cafe有雨.有夜.有過去的時光.有改變.有愛.有自由.有孤獨.有奇異恩典.有夢想.有失落.有力量.有財富.有微笑.有生命變化.有滿足.....這真是一個神聖的地方啊!
願米璐咖啡也是這樣的一個充滿故事的"人生咖啡館"!

The sad cafe ~Eagle
Out in the shiny night, the rain

was softly falling

The tracks that ran down the boulevard had

all been washed away

Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling

And I remember the times we spent

inside the Sad Cafe

Oh, it seemed like a holy place,

protected by amazing grace

And we would sing right out loud, the

things we could not say

We thought we could change this world

with words like 'love' and 'freedom'

We were part of the lonely crowd

Inside the Sad Cafe

Oh, expecting to fly,

we would meet on that shore in the

sweet by and by

Some of their dreams came true,

some just passed away

And some of the stayed behind

inside the Sad Cafe.

The clouds rolled in and hid that shore

Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more

Now I look at the years gone by,

and wonder at the powers that be.

I don't know why fortune smiles on some

and let's the rest go free

Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall

But things in this life change very slowly,

if they ever change at all

There's no use in asking why,

it just turned out that way

So meet me at midnight baby

inside the Sad Cafe.

Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,

inside the Sad Cafe.
