Вступительное слово учителя

        Сегодня мы проводим занятие- встречу, посвященную великому шотландскому поэту Р.Бернсу. 21 июля 2011 года исполнилось 215 лет со дня смерти поэта. Нас разделяют два века, но поэзия Р.Бернса, жившего в 18 веке созвучна нашему времени. В процессе подготовки этого занятия учащимися была проделана большая поисково- исследовательская работа со словом, и сегодня мы увидим результат погружения в тексты и атмосферу 18 века. Учащимся, присутствующим на нашей встрече в качестве наблюдателей, предлагается: 1) определить, каким был Р.Бернс как личность; 2) проследить каковы особенности эпохи 18 века; 3) назвать традиции шотландского народа.

        Boys and girls! You are invited to the party devoted to the greatest Scottish poet Robert Burns. During this party you will learn some facts from the poet’s biography, listen to his poems, sing and listen to some songs by R.Burns. Your main task is to listen attentively because at the end of the party you will be asked to express your impressions of the party. Try to understand what  R.Burns  was a personality, determine the characteristic features of the 18th century and national traditions of the Scottish people. And now let’s find ourselves for a moment in Scotland, the native land of R.Burns (просмотр видеофильма о Шотландии)

        Robert Burns, the Bard of Scotland (1759- 1796)

Leader: We begin our school party dedicated to Scotland’s greatest poet, Robert Burns. R.Burns was the most democratic poet of the 18th century. His birthday is celebrated in Scotland as a national holiday. Burns is very popular in our country. His first poems were translated into Russian at the close of the 18th century. Our people admire R.Burns’s poems and songs in the original and in the wonderful translation of Samuel Marshak.

        Самуил Яковлевич Маршак познакомил нашего читателя со стихами великого шотландского поэта. Сам он говорил: «Я счастлив, что на мою долю выпала честь дать моим современникам и соотечественникам наиболее полное собрание переводов Бернса». Александр Трифонович Твардовский так оценил его переводы: «Маршак сделал Бернса русским, оставив его шотландцем». Стихи Бернса в переводе С.Я.Маршака мы воспринимаем, как стихи своего современника.

Pupil 1: Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet was born on January 25, 1759 in a small clay cottage at Alloway, in Ayrshire, Scotland. His father, William Burns, was a poor farmer. He built this small clay cottage with his own hands. There were seven children in the family and Robert was the eldest. His father knew the value of a good education and he tried to give his children the best education he could afford. Robert was sent to school at the age of six, but as his father could not pay for the two sons, Robert and his brother Gilbert attended the school in turn. When not at school the boys helped their father with his work in the fields.

        Pupil 2: But soon the teacher left and Burns’s father and his four neighbours invited a young school teacher John Murdoch to teach their boys. When Murdoch left the poet’s father taught the children himself. Reading and writing, arithmetic, English grammar, history, literature, French and Latin- this was R. Burns’s education.

        Pupil 3: William Burns died in February 1784. Later R.Burns wrote about his father in his poem “My father was  a farmer” – “Был честный фермер мой отец”  

My father was a farmer                        Был честный фермер мой отец,

Upon the Carric border, O,                        Он не имел достатка,

And carefully he bred me                        Но от наследников своих

In decency and order,O.                        Он требовал порядка.

He bade me act a manly part                        Учил достоинство хранить,

Though I had ne(v)er a farthing, O,                Хоть нет гроша в карманах

For without an honest manly heart                Страшнее –чести изменить,

No man was worth regarding,O.                Чем быть в отрепьях рваных!

        Pupil 4: Robert’s mother knew many Scottish songs and ballads and often sang them to her son in his childhood. Her mother’s friend Betty told Robert many fantastic tales about devils, fairies and witches. Burns’s mother died in 1820. She lived long and enjoyed the fame of her poet son.

        Pupil 5: Robert Burns became fond of reading. He read whatever he could lay in his hands on. His favourite writers were Shakespeare, Sterne, Smollet and Robert Fergusson, a talanted Scottish poet (1750- 1774). Fergusson’s tragic fate deeply touched Burns. Burns devoted many poems to Fergusson. In 1787 Robert Burns errected a monument over the grave of this Scottish poet Robert Fergusson at his own expense when the book of his poems was published.

        Pupil 6: Robert Burns began to write poetry when he was  fifteen. He composed verses to the melodies of old folk songs, which he had admired from his early childhood. He sang of the woods, fields and wonderful valleys of his native land.

Pupil 7: After William Burns’s death the family moved to Mossgiel where Robert and his brother Gilbert rented a small farm.The young men worked hard, but the land gave poor crops. The family began to live worse. Just at that time Burns fell in love with Jean Armour and was going to marry her but the girl’s father did not want to have a poor peasant for his son- in – law.

Pupil 8: Seeing that there was no way for a poor peasant to earn his living in Scotland Burns decided to sail for Jamaica. To get some money for his passage he published some of his poems. Six hundred copies of “Poems chiefly in the Scottish dialect” were printed in Kilmanock in July 1786. Their success was complete. The edition was quickly sold out and Robert Burns became well known and popular.

Pupil 9: Instead of going to Jamaica Burns went to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. He had received a letter from several Edinburgh scholars who praised his verses and invited him to come to the capital. In Edinburgh Burns was welcomed as one of the “wonders of the world”. A new and enlarged edition of his poems was the result. But soon Edinburgh society grew tired of him and forgot about the poet. Robert left Edinburgh and returned to his native village with the money enough to buy a farm and marry Jean Armour, his “Bonnie Jean”. Burns devoted to Jean many beautiful poems such as “I love my Jean”, “It is Na, Jean. Thy Bonnie face” and many others.

Pupil 10: Though Burns’s poems were very popular he always remained poor. He worked hard on his farm. But in 1791 Burns went bankrupt and had to sell his farm. He became a customs officer in the town of Dumfries. The work was very hard and it destroyed the poet’s health. He died in poverty at the age of 37. Burns was buried in Dumfries. His funeral was attended by a crowd of ten thousand.They were the common Scottish people whom he had loved and for whom he had written his poems and songs.In the picture you can see the monument to Robert Burns at Alloway in Ayrshire.

Leader: The poetry and songs of Robert Burns are famous all over the world, Burns is very dear to us. He was a democratic poet. His sympathy was with the poor, he hated the rich and hoped for a better future for the people, for equality and justice for all. Now you will hear his most popular poems. Listen to his poem “Is there for honest poverty”

Pupil 11:

Is there, for honest poverty;

That hangs his head, and all that?

The coward- slave, we pass him by,

We dare be poor for all that!

For all that and all that,

Our toils obscure and all that;

The ranks is but the guinea- stamp,

His man’s the gowd for all that!

What tho’on namely fare we dine

Wear hoddin grey, and  all that,
Their tinsel show, and all that

Gie fools their silks and knaves their wine.
A man’s a man for all that!

For all that and all that,

Their tinsel show, and all that

The honest man, though ever see poor

Is king of men for all that!

Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for all that-
That sense and worth, over all the earth,
May bear the gree, and all that.
For all that and all that.
It's coming yet for all that,
That man to man, the world over,
Shall brothers be for all that.

Честная бедность

      Кто честной бедности своей

            Стыдится и все прочее,

            Тот самый жалкий из людей,

            Трусливый раб и прочее.

             При всем при том,

             При всем при том,

             Пускай бедны мы с вами,

             Богатство -

             Штамп на золотом,

             А золотой -

             Мы сами!

             Мы хлеб едим и воду пьем,

             Мы укрываемся тряпьем

             И все такое прочее,

             А между тем дурак и плут

             Одеты в шелк и вина пьют

             И все такое прочее.

             Настанет день и час пробьет,

             Когда уму и чести

             На всей земле придет черед

             Стоять на первом месте.

             При всем при том,

             При всем при том,

             Могу вам предсказать я,

             Что будет день,

             Когда кругом

             Все люди станут братья!

        Leader: In many of his poems R.Burns called for freedom. He wrote many poems about the struggle for freedom. Listen to the poem “The Tree of Liberty”

        Pupil 12: “The Tree of Liberty”

Heard ye of the tree of France,
I watna what's the name of it.
Around it all the patriots dance,
Weel Europe kens the fame of it.
It stands where ance the Bastille stood,
A prison built by kings, man,
When superstition's hellish brood
Kept France in leading strings, man.
With plenty of sic trees, I trow,
The world would live in peace, man,
The sword would help to make a plough,
The din of war wad cease man.
Like brethren in a common cause,
We'd on each other smile, man;
And equal rights and equal laws
Wad gladden every isle, man.

Дерево Свободы.

Есть дерево в Париже, брат.

Под сень его густую

Друзья отечества спешат,

Победу торжествуя.

Где нынче у его ствола

Свободный люд толпится,

Вчера Бастилия была,

Всей Франции темница.

Но верю я: настанет день, -

И он не за горами, -

Когда листвы волшебной сень

Раскинется над нами.

Забудут рабство и нужду

Народы и края, брат,

И будут люди жить в ладу,

Как дружная семья, брат!

Leader: Now listen to some verses from “A Revolutionary Lyric”

Pupil 13: From a revolutionary lyric by R.Burns

The golden age we’ll then revive

Each man will be a brother;

In harmony we all shall live,

And share the Earth together.

In virtue trained, enlightened youth

Will love each fellow- creature

And future years shall prove the truth

That man is good by nature.

The let us (pray) toast with three times three

The reigh of peace and liberty.

  Leader: Burns had a deep love for Scotland,  its history and folklore. His favourite national hero was William Wallace, the leader of the uprising against the English opressor. In many of his poems Burns sings the glorious past of his native land. Burns also sings the beauty of his native land. Listen to the poem “My Heart’s in the Highlands”

Pupil 14:  My Heart’s in the Highlands.

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart’s in the Highlands, a- chasing the deer;
A- chasing the wild deer, and following the roe -
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birthplace of valour, the country of worth:
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow;
Farewell to the straths and green valleys below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-handing woods;
Farewell to the torrents and loud pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
My heart's in the Highlands, a chasing the deer;
A chasing the wild deer, and following the roe -
My heart’s in the Highlands wherever I go.

В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там.

По следу оленя лечу по скалам.

Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу.

Прощай, моя родина! Север, прощай, -

Отечество славы и доблести край.

По белому свету судьбою гоним,

Навеки останусь я сыном твоим!

Прощайте, вершины под кровлей снегов,

Прощайте, долины и скаты лугов,

Прощайте, поникшие в бездну леса,

Прощайте, потоков лесных голоса.

В горах мое сердце... Доныне я там.

По следу оленя лечу по скалам.

Гоню я оленя, пугаю козу.

В горах мое сердце, а сам я внизу!

        Leader: Robert Burns wrote some anticlerical satires. The satires were laughed at. Here is one of them. “The Parson’s looks”

        Pupil 15: “The Parson’s looks”    К портрету духовного лица.

That there is falsehood in his looks                 Нет, у него не лживый взгляд,

I must and will deny;                         Его глаза не лгут…

They say their master is a knave-                 Они правдиво говорят,

And sure they do not lie.                         Что их владелец- плут!

        Leader: Burns was a remarkable lyric poet. In his lyrical poems Burns glorified true love and friendship. Listen to the poem “Of all the airts the wind can blow”

        Pupil 16:  “Of all the airts the wind can blow”

Of all the airts the wind can blow.

I dearly like the West

For there the bonnie lassie lives

The lassie I love best;

There wild woods grow and rivers row

And many a hill between

But Day and Night, my fancy’s flight

Is ever with my Jean.

I see her in the dewy flowers

I see her sweet and fair

I see her in the tuneful birds

I hear her charm in the air

There’s not a bonnie flower that springs

By fountain, shaw, or green.

There’s not a bonnie birds that sings

But minds me of my Jean.

                Западный ветер.

        Из всех ветров, какие есть,

                Мне западный милей.

                Он о тебе приносит весть,

                О девушке моей.

                Леса шумят, ручьи журчат

                 В тиши твоих долин.

                 И, как ручьи, мечты мои

                 К тебе стремятся, Джин.

                 Тебя напоминает мне

                  В полях цветок любой.

                  И лес в вечерней тишине

                  Заворожен тобой.

                  Бубенчик ландыша в росе,

                   Да и не он один,

                  А все цветы и птицы все

                  Поют о милой Джин.

Leader: Some of Robert Burns’s lyrical poems are popular as songs all over the world, for example, “A red, red rose”

Pupil 17: A red, red rose

O my love's like a red, red rose,            
That's newly sprung in June;
O my love's like the melodie,
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands of life shall run.
And fare-thee-weel, my only love!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Thogh  it were ten thousand mile!

                    Любовь

                     Любовь, как роза, роза красная,

                      Цветет в моем саду.

                      Любовь моя - как песенка,

                      С которой в путь иду.

                      Сильнее красоты твоей

                      Моя любовь одна.

                      Она с тобой, пока моря

                      Не высохнут до дна.

                      Не высохнут моря, мой друг,

                      Не рушится гранит,

                      Не остановится песок,

                      А он, как жизнь, бежит...

                      Будь счастлива, моя любовь,

                      Прощай и не грусти.

                      Вернусь к тебе, хоть целый свет

                      Пришлось бы мне пройти!

For Auld Lang Syne                        За счастье прежних дней

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,                 Забыть ли старую любовь
And never brought to mind?                         И не грустить о ней?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,                 Забыть ли старую любовь?
And days of all auld lang syne!                 И дружбу прежних дней.
Chorus:                                        За дружбу старую до дна,

For auld lang syne, my dear,                         За счастье прежних дней!
For auld lang syne.                                 С тобой мы выпьем, старина,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,                 За счастье прежних дней!
For auld lang syne.
