BASQUES IN NORTH AMERICA


Basque fishermen went to North America a long time ago. They went to Ternua (Newfoundland), where they used to catch whales.
There are some places that remember this fact through their names.

One of this places is 'Port aux Basques'.
This is a little town in Ternua, where Basque whalers stayed during the early XVIth century.



Another place is the so called 'Isle of Basques' (Île aux Basques).
This island lies in Canada's Saint Lawrence River and Basque whalers worked there from 1580 to 1640. They harpooned the whales and took them to this island to cut them into pieces and take their oil.



There are remains of three ovens where whale fat was melted down. Nowadays this island is a Natural Park for birds and it can be visited by tourists.











Remains of two ovens built by Basque fishermen.

Halloween is celebrated on 31st October. It is not a public holiday and children celebrate after school if it falls on a school day.
The children dress up in fancy dress and visit their neighbours' houses in a group. They knock on the door and shout Trick or treat! This means that the adults in the house have to give them sweets or the children will play a trick on them.
Many houses have a pumpkin lantern in the window. This is made by cutting the top off a pumpkin and removing the seeds and flesh from the inside. A face (mouth, nose and eyes) is then cut into the skin. A candle is lit and placed in the centre so the face shines.

People didn't know that David was going to be there and the astonished spectators witnessed the first ocassion on which they both sang this song in concert.



WHEN I LOOK AT YOU (LYRICS)
Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody when the night's so long
'Cause there is no guarantee that life is easy
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth
You love me for who I am like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like a kaleidoscope colors that prove to me
All I need, every breath that I breath
Don't ya know, you're beautiful
Yeah, yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
I look at you
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
You appear just like a dream to me.

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
