Happy New Year!

Our Corona Voice Show is ongoing. Day 29

The 2020 year was extremely challenging for all across the globe in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, the safest way to celebrate the new year is to celebrate at home with the people who live with you or virtually with friends and family. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others.

Our today's guest is Chelsea Marilia. She prepared a beautiful Covid-19 song for all of us.

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet our singer Chelsea!

The coronavirus has arrived naively

But it is strong and powerful

It kills people all over the world.

''Where the coronavirus goes

Screams and tears are heard

Only God to help us''.

Hands are shaking

The eyes full of astonishment.

Angels lift their songs

May the good God enlighten us

''Where the coronavirus goes

Screams and tears are heard

Only God to help us''.

I miss the family 

I can't wait to see them

May the virus lose its strength

And never contaminate again!

''Where the coronavirus goes

Screams and tears are heard

Only God to help us''.

• 
  
• Here's to better times ahead for everyone. Stay healthy and safe in 2021.
• 
  
• Wishing you and your family a year full of happiness and good health.
