New Year Greetings in Ukrainian

If you have Ukrainian-speaking loved ones, relatives, friends, or colleagues, send them this nice New Year poem as your greetings:

Рік Новий - казковий час!
Хай здивує щастям Вас
Рік добра і рік кохання.
Тож приймайте привітання:
Будьте добрі та здорові,
Побажаємо любові,
Світла й радощів багато,
Щоб життя було, як свято!

And here is my English word-for-word translation of this poem:

Рік Новий - казковий час!
(The New Year is a fairy time!)

Хай здивує щастям Вас
(Let it surprise you with happiness,)

Рік добра і рік кохання.
(This year of good and love.)

Тож приймайте привітання:
(So accept our wishes:)

Будьте добрі та здорові,
(Be kind and healthy,)

Побажаємо любові,
(We wish you love,)

Світла й радощів багато,
(A lot of light and joy,)

Щоб життя було, як свято!
(Let your life be as a festival!)

The Buy-One Get-One Free Holiday Special Is Here!

It's their best price of the year! And it's almost gone...

Are you considering building a website? Are you looking for hosting?

I know something better. Why not start a successful online business.

But isn't that what I'm doing when I get hosting or a site builder you say?

Not necessarily. What about traffic?

Without traffic your site will fail. It's lost in the desert.

SBI! offers a complete system for building an online business that guarantees success. And they've got proof. Take a look at this page...

And during their Buy-1 Get-1 Free Holiday Special you can get their best price of the year... but only for a short time.

With their success guarantee you can grab this best price now and if you're not happy you can get your money back later. But I doubt you'll be doing that.

This system works. Take a look at their Video Tour to learn more.

And then jump on this Holiday Special before you miss out. But hurry. That offer ends at midnight December 25th, 2011.

New Year Greetings in Russian

More New Year poems. But these ones are in Russian. Surprise your Russian-speaking friends by sending them these Russian New Year greetings.

The first poem:

Старому году оставьте печали,
Забудьте тревоги, обиды, беду —
Только здоровья, успехов и счастья
Я вам желаю в Новом году!

My word-for-word English translation of this poem:

Старому году оставьте печали,
(Leave sorrows to the Old Year,)

Забудьте тревоги, обиды, беду —
(Forget anxieties, grievances, and misfortune.)

Только здоровья, успехов и счастья
(Be healthy, successful, and happy!)

Я вам желаю в Новом году!
(This is my wish to you for the New Year.)

The second poem:

Стучат часы, уходит старый год,
Шуршит его последняя страница.
Пусть лучшее, что было, не уйдет,
А худшее не смеет возвратиться!

And my English translation:

Стучат часы, уходит старый год,
(A clock is ticking, the Old Year is passing,)

Шуршит его последняя страница.
(Its last page is rustling.)

Пусть лучшее, что было, не уйдет,
(Let the best things that have been in life remain)

А худшее не смеет возвратиться!
(And the worst do not dare to return!)
