A banner is a flag or other piece of cloth bearing a symbol, logo, slogan or other message. Banner-making is an ancient craft.
The word derives from late Latin bandum, a cloth out of which a flag is made (Latin: banderia, Italian: bandiera, Portuguese: bandeira, Spanish: bandera). The German language developed the word to mean an official edict or proclamation and since such written orders often prohibited some form of human activity, bandum assumed the meaning of a ban, control, interdict or excommunication. Banns has the same origin meaning an official proclamation, and abandon means to change loyalty or disobey orders, semantically "to leave the cloth or flag".
A heraldic banner, also called banner of arms, displays the basic coat of arms only: i.e. it contains the design usually displayed on the shield and omits the crest, helmet or coronet, mantling, supporters, motto or any other elements associated with the coat of arms (for further details of these elements, see heraldry).
A heraldic banner is usually square or rectangular.
While the choir sings, Ave Maria
I was singing with all my heart
And I sent a special prayer, up to heaven
That you´ll return to me before I fall apart
While the choir sings, hallelujah
I was singing with all my heart
Darling please come back never leave again
And this will be (this will be) the answer to my prayer
And I´ll wait, here for the answer
That you´ll come back, to me I pray
Oh if you stayed, away another hour
I don´t think I learn to love again
While the choir sing, hallelujah
I was singing with all my heart
Darling please, come back never leave me again
