Thread Name: Snowing on Easter Sunday
Subject: RE: Snowing on Easter Sunday
We too have some snow today. Not very exceptional.The first lines of a Dutch nursery rhyme read:
Aprilletje zoet
Heeft nog wel eens een witte hoed.
In English phonetics (as close as I can get):
A-[as in ask]prillatja zoot
Haift nog [g very guttural]well ains a witta hood
My (free)translation:
Sweet little April
May from time to time wear a white hat.
