| "Modern" approach to the old musical material and 'ancient lyrics' - impression and inspiration of sensitive contemporary artists. Another story of the "Beggar" - interesting and SO atmospheric ! .............................................. Winter, snow falling, strong wind. At the church entrance there stands an old woman, She is alone, dressed in rugs, waiting for alms With her cane she is there, winter and summer, standing with her bare feet... Give her alms,please give her alms. I will tell you that this old woman just 20 years ago, was a poet's dream and Glory weaved a garland for her. When she was singing on stage, Paris was delighted, nobody could compete with her... Give her alms, oh give her alms. After the concert she was surrounded by crowds, Young people, with admiration, would shout "bravo"! What a splendid words she heard from her guests; when we are happy, everybody wants to be friends with you, but when you are in grieve, those friends are not around , yes, those friends are not around. It was the will of the Providence, that she fell ill, lost her voice and vision, and now walks around alone. It used to be that beggar was not afraid to come to her for alms, but she is ashamed to ask you for alms, so give her alms, yes, give her alms. .........................................
