Sharing the magic of music - Álmodj, királylány - Dream, Princess

Álmodj, királylány - Dream, Princess

This is a song written in honor of a 17 year old girl who committed suicide in 1986. She won the Miss Hungary competition in 1985, which was a big thing, because it wasn't organised for 50 years. She was crushed by the media and everything that goes with modelling. She was second in the Miss Europa competition behind the swedish lady. Her name was Molnár Csilla - I think her name could be transleted as Stella Miller if we would translate names. So Molnár Csilla she stays. (In hungarian, the surename is written first and the given name second, Molnár-Miller, Csilla-Stella)

I did, as usual a quick translation of the lyrics. I'm focusing on the meaning.

Dream, princess

You had lost so much already,

until that day came and you were able to win

You started true-hearted and pure

but the way was long and maybe there was too much ill-will (literally it’s mud)

You were a star (in the sky) and we did not take care of you

A breath of happiness, that was all,

that was life!

You played and you were played with

Where did the words, flowing like beads on a necklace, the false compliments go?

See, you even lost yourself,

and you even forgot that you loved and were loved

You look at us from a photo, a secret is hiding in your eyes

a secret that will never be divined or worked out

Dream, princess, as peacefully as in the fairytale

dream, princess, it was a dream that you lived
You are a dream for us as well.

Dream... dream...

Dream, princess, as peacefully as in the fairytale

dream, princess, it was a dream that you lived

Dream, princess, as peacefully as in the fairytale

dream, princess, it was a dream that you lived

Dream, princess,

dream, princess


And the original, hungarian text for those, who are interested:

 Álmodj, királylány

Annyi mindent elvesztettél már,
míg rád virradt a nap, mikor győzni tudtál.
Úgy indultál őszintén, tisztán,
de hosszú volt az út, s talán túl sok a sár.
Csillag voltál, azt mondják, s nem vigyáztunk rád.
Egy lélegzetnyi boldogság, ennyi volt tán,
ez volt az élet!

Játszottál és játszottak veled.
Sok gyöngyként pergő szó, hamis bók hová lett?!
Lásd, önmagad is elveszítetted,
még azt is feledted, hogy szerettél, s szerettek!
Ránk nézel egy fényképről, a szemed titkot rejt;
egy titkot, melyet többé már nem sejthet meg,
nem fejt meg senki...

Álmodj, királylány, ahogy a mesében, oly békén!
Álmodj, királylány, az is álom volt, hogy éltél!
Nekünk is álom vagy ma már!...
Hmm...Álmodj hát...Álmodj hát...

Álmodj, királylány, ahogy a mesében, oly békén!
Álmodj, királylány, az is álom volt, hogy éltél!

Álmodj, királylány, ahogy a mesében, oly békén!
Álmodj, királylány, az is álom volt, hogy éltél!

Álmodj, királylány
Álmodj, királylány

31 day Disney Challenge - Day 31

So the final day... favourite ending:

Beauty and the Beast, because I'm a hopeless romantic and I love happy endings but I liked the unusal bittersweet ending of Pocahontas as well. I also liked that instead of a storybook they used this handdrawn picture, like at the beginning. I liked how the ending of The Lion King suggested that the story goes on and on and never ends.Wreck-it Ralph is different again, the whole credits is a story by itself and very enjoyable in my opinion :)

31 day Disney Challenge - Day 30

Day 30:
 Disney's impact on my life

Disney's definitely responsible for my obsession with lion cubs and plastic lion figures - The Lion King was the first Disney movie I ever saw, I think. And the first one I saw in a movie theatre. The lion cubs were cute so we wanted some. The two robust ones in the middle, a girl and a boy, were our first lion cubs so they had to be named Simba and Nala.

Nala and Simba

(Nala was first, Simba came a few weeks later) They lost their tails fairly quickly but other than that, they hold up quite well to play. About 22 years have passed and the're still there.

Somba on the left, Simba and Tiny on the right

The next one was the little lady with her two identical looking brothers. Fact is, she had another brother but I lost him and we got a replacement some years later. They are not as well made and cute as the first ones were but I was happy I kind of got him back - that little lion cub is the only toy I still miss sometimes. When we got the replacement then my little brother wanted one, too so we got one for him as well. The names are: Somba, the original little girl, her brothers: Simba (the one I lost) and Tiny (the one belonging to my brother)

Tenny and Rao

The brothers with the little tufts came next (names: Tenny-standing one, Rao - sitting cub)

Vadócka and Lidércke

Last came the two on the right (I mean the big family picture), Lidércke, a boy (his name means little demon, little ghost) and Vadócka, a girl (her name means little vild one) The parents came the christmas after the second cubs were purchased.  :) So much about this 'little' lion family.
During the 2000s, I kind of left Disney and picked up again with Tiana and Rapunzel but I got really back into it when Frozen came out - there started my doll collection, with the help of people I would never got to know otherwise and I'm really thankful for those friendships. :)
So in short: Disney gave me the love for animals and friend I would never have known othervise

31 day Disney Challenge - Day 29

Day 29:
Moments I would like to experience:

The first one may seem a bit odd but I would really appreciate it to get help and advice when needed and from someone I'm sure has my best interests at heart and trust this persons judgement.
A magic carpet ride would be a great thing, and sharing it with someone special would add a lot to the experience, I'm sure. I would freeze to death and be scared but I wouldn't care as long I can hold on to something so I won't fall. It would be pure magic to fly around the world like that. :)
