Love in any language at Convent Sentul.

They had practiced before the hols and during the hols. It was great to see and to hear the choir - both morning and noon session girls taking and making time to come together to practice. They sang "Love in Any Language."


Different languages of love but all from the heart.
Je t'aime te amo
Ya tyibya I yublu
Ani ohevet othka
I love you

The sounds are all as different
As the lands from which they came
And though our words are all unique
Our hearts are still the same

Chorus:
Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here

We teach the young our differences
Yet look how we're the same
We learn to laugh, to dream our dreams
We know the sting of pain

From Leningrad to Lexington
The farmer loves his land
And daddies get all misty eyed
When they give their daughters' hands
And maybe now we realize
How much there is to share
We have too much in common
To pretend it isn't there

Though the rhetoric of governments
May keep us worlds apart
There's no misinterpreting
The language of the heart

When we speak the language of the heart in whatever language, the message is loud and clear. Jaz Lyn conducted the choir skillfully, leading them by her clear hand signs  from the time they stepped out right to the very last bow. Diana used sign language to convey the message. She made great effort to learn it properly from one of our ex-students. The girls sounded very sweet as they sang. Today at assembly, our newly purchased synthezizer made its maiden appearance under the dancing fingers of our headgirl Teoh Wei Yee.






After the song, the girls spoke I love you in various languages. They had the crowd in stitches when the two Malay girls said "Wo Ai Ne" followed by any two Malay girls who spoke I love you in Tamil. I have lost count of how many languages were spoken today at the launch of Minggu Bahasa - we heard French, Portugese, Tagalog, Japanese, Mandarin, Tamil, Korean, sign language and .......



After the choir finished singing, they placed their hearts with different languages all over the school. Let love be spoken fluently in SMK Convent Sentul always.
Je Taime girls.
