When you leave something for later
It disappears from sight
So do it right now
Before day turns into night
You will daily grow older
But also try to remain wise
The tea/coffee may get cold
But then you can add ice
Life will pass you by
And you will regret a lot
So take my good advice
And strike while the iron is hot
Do not sit and tarry
But act when you have a chance
For if you leave it to fate
She will lead you a merry dance
Later - you may lose interest
And always crave for rest
So to ensure that life is bright
Act while the time is right

I'll remember 'The tea/coffee may get cold But then you can add ice'. Now there's a strategy.
However, I regret nothing (didn't want it in French, did you ?) and so right now I do always crave for rest. ☺️
Good message.
hello.. when in Dubai [upto 2019] - refrigerating the left over hot coffee we used to have at Costa after a midnight movie and adding ice cream and enjoying it the day after was how i used to enjoy both the hot and cold coffee - [alas now in mumbai it's just a good memory]
am glad you regret nothing, and just crave for rest - the noise pollution here also makes us want the same..
btw - oui - you can try sending it in french, will let you know if i understand - most probably i may not , even though familiar with a few french words..
have a lovely Sunday - rest and relax..take care
Oh come on - I cannot believe a sophisticate such as yourself has never heard of Édith Piaf.......
Though fair dues - I don't think I could name a famous Indian singer, so...
truthfully i had not and wondered why not when i was familiar with most of the English songs of late 50\'s and 60\'s and used to like Jim Reeves, Cliff Richards, Elvis right upto Abba and George Michael , but just googled it and found she was a french singer [lovely operatic voice] so obviously not in my league. used to sing and dance along with the beatles too...those were the days..
The Indian male singer Mohammed Rafi was our neighbour in Bandra West mumbai, who had sung for many hindi heroes in various movies and he was so good you could identify which hero he was singing for when you heard the song...if interested, do hear his masti [fun] songs, you tart tapping a foot asap..he is on youtube
have fun listening to our lively hindi music...and enjoy the week ahead..take care
