Song translation challenge - Part 1 / 3
PLEASE READ THIS: This is not a normal notebook entry. This is a very difficult challenge if someone wants to try to take it on. Below you'll find a third of a song about an event in the year 1914, along with a basic Russian translation.
What I'd really like is to change the Russian version SO THAT IT RHYMES AND CAN BE SUNG in the same way. Obviously, the translation would not be literal or word-for-word - it would be a poetic exercise. If someone actually does manage to produce a working song translation, my hope is to use it at the language center in Russia where I teach English. The translators would be credited.

Christmas in the Trenches
Рождество в окопах
My name is Francis Tolliver, I come from Liverpool.
Two years ago the war was waitin' for me after school.
To Belgium and to Flanders, to Germany, to here,
I fought for king and country I love dear.
Меня зовут Фрэнсис Толливер, из Ливерпуля.
Два года назад война ждала меня после школы.
В Бельгию и во Фландрию, в Германию, сюда,
Я боролся за короля и страну, которую я люблю нежно.
'Twas Christmas in the trenches, where the frost so bitter hung.
The frozen fields of France were still, no Christmas song was sung.
Our families back in England were toasting us that day,
Their brave and glorious lads so far away.
«Это было Рождество в окопах, где мороз был общитьающий.
Замерзшие поля Франции были неподвижны, рождественская песня не пела.
В тот день наши семьи в Англии пили за нас
Их храбрые и славные парни так далеко.
I was lying with my messmate on the cold and rocky ground,
When across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound.
Says I, "Now listen up, me boys!'' Each soldier strained to hear,
As one young German voice sang out so clear.
Я лежал со своим напарником на холодной и каменистой земле,
Когда на линии сражения раздался самый необычный звук.
Я говорю: «Теперь слушайте, мальчики!» Каждый солдат напрягся, чтобы услышать,
Как один молодой немецкий голос пел так ясно.
"He's singing bloody well, you know!"' my partner says to me.
Soon one by one, each German voice joined in harmony.
The cannons rested silent, the gas cloud rolled no more,
As Christmas brought us respite from the war.
«Знаешь, он поет чертовски хорошо», - говорит мне мой напарник.
Вскоре один за другим, каждый немецкий голос соединился в гармонии.
Пушки молчали, газовое облако больше не катилось,
Так Рождество принесло нам передышку от войны.

Playing traditional Russian music
This is the first not-super-language-related question I've ever asked on italki, so please forgive me.
I'm learning a few Russian songs on my violin. Could you recommend some Russian tunes?
I'd like to find someone else in Moscow to play with on the trains or in the Metro in our spare time. Do you know of someone or a site for finding someone? I think a singer/tambourine, flute/woodwind, accordion, or cello could be good. Thanks.

Request for translation
I'd like to have a Hindi option on my website. Could a native speaker please provide translation in devanagari? Please make translations Hindi-like - maybe, e.g., श्रु कारें instead of लॉग इन करें. Thanks!

Здравствуйте!
Спасибо за чтение. Это моя первая запись на русском. Мой русский язык плохой, но я был в России скоро 10 месяцев. Нужна больвая практика. Моя жена и ребёнок - русские. Я живу в Мытищи, рядом с Москвой. Мне много нравиця, но жизнь не легка. Ну, это место интересно. Еда внкусная и питательная. Много людей гулят. В этом году много снега. Погода очень холодная, поэтому снег здесь всегда. Транспорт довольно удобний, но если афтобус требует ожидание, то холод может быть очень неудобно. До встречи!

Keyboard layout question
Okay, this is not a great question, but maybe someone can help...
I notice some of the keyboard layouts have ALT + ARROWKEYS set to flip the display, at least when added on a US Windows machine.
Normally I use these to browse back and forth on websites.
This drives me a little crazy. I could use some program to override them, but, before resorting to that, I was wondering if anyone might have any useful hints related to this.

नरेंद्र मोदी सरकार एक और वेलफ़ेयर स्कीम के नाम को गांधी फ़ैमिली से अलग कर रही है ।
मैं उस वाक्य का मतलब अधिकतर समझता हूँ । लेकिं ...
यह ठीक है ? ...
एक और वेलफ़ेयर स्कीम के नाम को = to the end (literally 'name') of another welfare scheme ?
या ...
एक और वेलफ़ेयर स्कीम के नाम को = with another welfare scheme (will make a change, literally 'make different') to the name ?

Chahta words in Devanagari
So I was in the library today wandering around until I ran into some language learning resources. It was surprising to me to find a couple of binders for learning two languages native to this state - Choctaw and Creek (both are "Muskogean" languages; Cherokee and Chickasaw were two other prominent tribes in Alabama, US).
I found the Choctaw lesson pretty interesting (apparently the preferred name is "Chahta"), but had a hard time figuring out what pronunciation was intended from the Latin letters. I thought it would be clearer if written in Devanagari, which seems more suitable, but I sometimes have a hard time hearing the difference between क ख, त त्त थ ट ठ, च छ च्छ - would sure like to know how close I came.
Used some web resources to transcribe a few words:
