Sketchbook  Burmese Climbing Rhyme Poems

 

Croatian Lyrics' Website Like finding old friends, this page defends souls. Time bends without breaking. But still nostalgia tends to shift trends, suddenly, make amends for indifference. Even as it offends materialists, it mends hearts. It sends wonderful signals. Beauty meets all demands: Soft tamburica*-bands, klapas** join hands to bring your longing home at last. *tamburica—instrument similar-but not identical-to a mandolin or banjo. Usually played by bands of 5 or 7. ** klapa—a (men's) choir, specific to the Adriatic coast, usually made up of (semi-) professionals, hired to serenade young ladies with beautiful a cappella songs.

The title is its address in Barcelona, Spain.
