Welcome visitors from Uganda

Today we welcome our friends from Soroti.

A number of you will be visiting Soroti this autumn.

We want to make our visitors feel welcome.

Today we are going to sing together a couple of songs in Swedish about the summer and then an English ballad called "Proud Mary"..

Idas sommarvisa:

 D        Bm           G  E7/G#  A7    
Du ska inte tro det blir sommar, i fall inte nån
       D                   Bm       G  E7/G# A7
sätter fart på sommarn och gör lite somrigt, då
                 D          F#m       
kommer blommorna snart. Jag gör så att blommorna
Em  G        A7       A7/G    F#7       Bm
blommar, jag gör hela kohagen grön, och nu så
    Bm/A     G  E7/G#    A7            
har sommaren kommit, för jag har just tagit
     D 
bort snön.


Jag gör mycket vatten i bäcken,
så där så det hoppar och far.
Jag gör fullt med svalor som flyger
och myggor som svalorna tar.
Jag gör löven nya på träden
och små fågelbon här och där.
Jag gör himlen vacker om kvällen,
för jag gör den alldeles skär.

Och smultron det gör jag åt barna,
för det tycker jag dom kan få,
och andra små roliga saker
som passar när barnen är små.
Och jag gör så roliga ställen,
där barnen kan springa omkring,
då blir barna fulla med sommar
och bena blir fulla med spring.

Sommaren är kort 

(The summer is short)

Jag sitter i skuggan   läser gårdagens blad

Snart är det dags för ett dopp i det blå
        Em7                G     D
få bort sanden mellan tårna  och svalka min kropp

This is the case which takes the biggest space in the book.

Describe in your own words what it is about.
