November

The month after October,

The last month in which Fall

Paints nature

And covers the earth with her blanket.

Some are nostalgic,

Others are inspired,

Everyone is playing in the pile of leaves

Letting loose their inner child

To tread on air.

Beautiful memories,

Sad memories,

We’re still keeping our mind

On the autumnal landscapes.

A cold breeze,

A pinch of cinnamon scent,

The whiteness of the sky,

Some ice crystals,

I can feel that winter’s coming.

The Last Days Of Autumn

As we stroll along the rocky path,

Autumn’s blanket is fully complete

As the trees are bare

Ready to enter into a deep sleep.

A mixture of thoughts

Come across our minds

And a mixture of feelings

Make our hearts dizzy.

The sun sparkles on the silent earth

Giving us a ray of hope during daytime.

Colorful patches and spots shine into the night

Reminding us of our colorful life.

Saint Andrew announces the last day of the Autumn Queen,

But encourages us to not lose our self-esteem.

Wonderful memories are flooding our mind

Making us remember of the good things

About the Snow Queen’s reign.

Saint Andrew

Protector of sailors and fishermen,

The most trustworthy of the Apostles

And “the first called”,

Hear our prayer

Which we offer you

Today, on this day of worship.

Defend us from the devil’s attacks,

Give us strength to resist temptations of any kind,

Banish all suffering and illnesses,

Bring peace and harmony

On these fair lands.

Shield us from Sodom and Gomorrah

And teach us about true love

Which enlightens our souls and gives us immortality.

In the year of the Centenary,

Bless us, the heirs of the bold Dacians

To pass on the traditions, customs and history of our country

To the next generations,

To be as brave as our ancestors who perish during the bloody battles,

To overcome life’s obstacles like the heroes of the past did

And protect the Garden of Virgin Mary from fire and tar.

Saint Andrew, Patron Saint of Romania and the Apostle of the Wolves

With faith and hope

We dedicate these verses to you.
