SIGH NO MORE

Boho Conversation Cards Worksheet by isabelcota2

"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more"

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ( HERE video activity about Shakespeare)

 (from Much Ado About Nothing)

 Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.

 Men were deceivers ever,

 One foot in sea, and one on shore,

    To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

    And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

    Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more

    Of dumps so dull and heavy.

The fraud of men was ever so

    Since summer first was leafy.

Then sigh not so, but let them go,

    And be you blithe and bonny,

Converting all your sounds of woe

    Into hey, nonny, nonny.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (video-summary of the play for kids HERE/.another video-summary HERE)- Also FILM based on the play by The Bard 

Meaning of "much ado about nothing" - HERE

A possible SINGABLE translation into Galician language would be this one:

Donas, xa non suspiren máis,

que os homes de fiar nunca foron.

Un pé na terra, outro no mar.

Volubles e tramposos.

Non suspiredes, rompede amarras

e ride ledas, raparigas,

tornando a vosa aflición

en pracer, gozo e alegría

Non cantedes toadas, non,

que anoxen e aborrezan.

Aldrabeiros os homes son

dende a orixe da terra

Non suspiredes, rompede amarras

e ride ledas, raparigas,

tornando a vosa aflición

en pracer, gozo e alegría
