More than forty years of Communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in an unhappy and artificial division of Europe. It is this dark chapter of European history that we now have the opportunity to close.

Europe is spreading its wings. In freedom. In prosperity. And in peace. It is a truly proud moment for the European Union. It is a triumph for liberty and democracy. To our new members I say: "Warmly welcome to our family". Our new Europe is born.

Alles Anders

Mercedes hat den Smart und BMW hat die Isetta,
Aber alles guten Dinge sind drei!
Viel Geld, Viele Probleme und ein bisschen einsam;
Aber wer erst spät zum Stern findet,
Hängt besonders daran.

Das erste Mal,
Zeitlos und Gefühl;
Aber im jammern sind die Deutsche Weltmeister!
Und heute Nacht ist alles anders.

be-Leven

Mauwende zeemeeuwen in de stad,
een kat die piept ook wat,
twee vissen aan vrouwenborst
hebben enorme dorst.
Ben ik dronken,
zoog ik te lang
aan vette joint?
Soms zijn het de dingen
die van zelf lijken te zingen
dat ze vaak net
even iets anders zijn
dan men had gedacht;
dat is de kracht
van be-Leven.

Wie alt sind Sie?

Wie alt sind Sie?
Zwischen uns;
Wenn du mich nicht nimmst,
Wird es jemand anders tun.
Die Frauen!
Von Alter her zwischen 20 und 40;
Aber, Therapie von Rüchenschmerzen ist Bewegung!
Der gesunde Weg,
Die Männer!
Von Alter her zwischen 40 und 60;
Aber, Therapie von Rüchenschmerzen ist Bewegung!
Du bist 14 Jahre älter als ich,
Vormarsch!
Verheißung,
Eindeutig,
Ein gesetzt;
Aber, der Vater meine Kinder sollte mein Ehemann sein.

Always Be My Baby

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Don't you know you can't escape me
Oh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're ever gonna shake me
Oh darling cause you'll always be my baby
My baby...

(Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carey)

The World is Black

Death and destruction, all for no reason
Wars and bombings based only on rumors
Suicide and murder in all seasons
Earth is a society of consumers

Death and hatred not shocking anymore
Growing repititous in newspapers
Scenes upon scenes of dead bodies and gore
The air swarming with poisonous vapors

Dying seems to be a popular trend
Is becoming okay in the world's eyes
All this chaos never going to end
Until everyone meets their demise

People and countries all under attack
The world is evil, the world is pitch black

(Afrikaans) Winter Hart

In die hartjie van die winter
in die winter van my hart
Lê ‘n leegte ongeneeslik
‘n Koue donker pad
Soos die storm wat hier buite dreig
die sneeu wat wit kom lê
Is daar koue in my lewe
is daar niks wat ek kan sê
Soos die winter windjie waai
en die wolke sneeu laat val
Is daar leegte binne my
‘n hol kol en dis al
Van somer soene
en sonskyn liefde
Na oë wat geen sins glans
as ek jou nie kan hê nie
sien ek vir niks anders kans
Die spasie waar jy pas
is in die holte van my hart
En niks sal ooit jou plek vat nie

Philippians 4: 13

The strength to resist the night
The strength to endure the day
The strength to keep righteous paths in sight
The strength to take them without delay

The strength to find a purpose in life
The strength to find the truths it brings
The strength to kick away from strife
The strength to stabalize the rock it clings

The strength to light a friend’s day up
The strength to resist wrathful foes
The strength to fill a stranger’s dry cup
The strength to shun sin when it opposed

The strength to feel a injured man’s pain
The strength to hold a reject’s hand
The strength to act against any gain
The strength to love without demand

Hans Huckebein (The Unlucky Raven) Prologue

Sosehr sein Ende mich bewegt,
Ich durft' es anders nicht vermelden. -
Er stirbt - denn tragisch angelegt
War der Charakter dieses Helden.

His ending moves me; only, mind,
A diff'rent one I can't envision.
He dies - for tragically designed
Was our hero's disposition.

Gar manches ist vorherbestimmt;
Das Schicksal führt ihn in Bedrängnis;
Doch wie er sich dabei benimmt,
Ist seine Schuld und nicht Verhängnis.

There is a predetermined fate,
And fortune seems to be essential;
But how to act, how to relate
- that is his fault, not providential.
