THE SHOW by LENKA


I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why


Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I´m not


I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough


I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why


I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show


The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah


I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why


I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don' show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show


Just enjoy the show


I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why


I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
dudum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back (3)
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back (3)
Just enjoy the show

EASTER

Easter holidays are here!
On wednesday everybody will say goodbye to school and we will
enjoy some nice spring days.
Are you doing something special on Easter holidays?
In some countries as Germany, U.K., Ireland, U.S.A...
there´s a very popular tradition: Easter Bunnies.

It has a German origin but now it´s celebrated in a lot of places.



Have you seen chocolate bunnies and eggs somewhere in Gasteiz?

Have you eaten them?
The Easter Bunnies bring baskets filled with coloured eggs, sweets and sometimes also toys to children on the night before Easter.
The Bunnies will either put the baskets in a designated place or hide them
somewhere in the house or garden for the children to find when they wake up in the morning.

If you go to the mountain, to the beach, to the cinema... if you stay in Gasteiz or another town:

<ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS !!! SEE YOU SOON !!!

ANCIENT CARNIVAL IN EUROPE


Carnival is celebrated all around the world. Who doesn't know about Carnival in Venice, Tenerife or Rio de Janeiro...?

But there is another not so well known Carnival celebrated in small towns, some of them very close to us.

Do you know Carnival Celebrations in Zalduondo, Lantz or Altsasu? They are some of the oldest in Europe.

But probably you don't know about the Mamuthones from Mamoiada (Sardinia).

They appear on Carnival Sunday and on Shrove Tuesday. They are dressed in black sheepskin and wear around thirty kilos of cowbells on their backs. They cover their faces with a dark brown wooden mask.

The Mamuthones are usually twelve, to symbolize the number of the months of the year and they dance rhythmically in two parallel lines along the narrow streets of Mamoiada.











But they are not the only ones who wear sheepskin and cowbells. Do you know any of these?


They are celebrated in Greek Macedonia, Zubieta and Ituren (Nafarroa).
