Fête de la Musique - 21 June

Music Day, Make Music Day or World Music Day.

Music Festival is the literal translation,

Encouraging music from every nation.

India, Germany, Russia, Peru,

The city count of the States is eighty-two.

The Director of Music and Dance,

In 1982, observed in his country of France,

One out of two played a musical instrument,

And this spread Fête de la Musique's scent.

People donated their time,

From dawn till bedtime,

Free concerts at public places,

Music always filled the life with empty spaces.

An amateur or a professional,

Both have helped music become educational.

A wanderlust or someone homesick,

Every soul enjoys their choice of music.

Celebrated for the first time in Paris,

On the day of the Summer Solstice,

This day is a tribute to all musicians,

Developing feelings towards pleasure and pains.
