Sharing the magic of music - Honour to us all

Another music post. Because I'm tired and busy. I do have a review in works I wnat to share but I don't know when I'Ll be able to finish it. So you get another song for now.
This time it's Honor to us all, the hungarian version and the hungarian translated backt to english I'm too lazy to experiment with the text so it looks proper, if you klick on the picture, it'll be nice and organised, under the picture I added them all as text.




This is what you give me to work with           Nem lesz veled könnyű a dolgom,     I won’t have an easy job with you
Well, honey, I've seen worse              azt bizony látom már.                         I can already see that
We're going to turn this sow's ear       Usgyi a kádba, de tüstént,                   Into the bathtube at once
Into a silk purse                                              a kefe már vár.                                               the brush is already waiting for you
We'll have you washed and dried       Megmossuk egy-kettő                         We’ll wash her quickly
Primped and polished                         szutykos leánykából                           That’s how a dirty little girl
Till you glow with pride                     így lesz nő.                                         becomes a woman
Trust me recipe for instant bride         Holnap kezdődhet a menyegző,                     The wedding may stat tomorrow
You'll bring honor to us all                 hozzon örömöt e nap.                         let this day bring joy

Wait and see, When we're through     Hernyóból pillangó,                            from caterpillar to butterfly
Boys will gladly go to war for you     így hát megéri a sok hűhó                   So the fuss is worth it
With good fortune                              nem kell csoda,                                              No miracle needed
And a great hairdo                              ha a kontyod jó                                              if you have a great updo
You'll bring honor to us all                 Hozzon örömöt e nap.                        let this day bring joy
A girl can bring her family                 A női nemnek ékessége                      A gem between females
Great honor in one way                                  úgy lehet a lány,                                 a girl can besome
By striking a good match                    ha erényesen él                                              If she leads a virtuous life
And this could be the day                   a férje oldalán.                                               on her husbands side
Men want girls with good taste                       Nagy vizsga vár most rád                   A big exam is waiting for you now
Calm    Obedient                                 gyors és ügyes légy,                            Be quick and skillful
Who work fast-paced                         de tartsd a szád!                                  but be silent
With good breeding                            Karcsú leszel,                                     Your waist will be thin
And a tiny waist                                 mint a hajló nád,                                 like reed blown by the wind
You'll bring honor to us all                 hozzon örömöt e nap.                         let this day bring joy

We all must serve our Emperor                      Mi mind a császárt szolgáljuk,                        We all serve the Emperor
Who guards us from the Huns                        ki díszes trónján ül                             who sits on his decorated throne
A man by bearing arms                                  A férfi páncélt ölt,                              The man takes the armor
A girl by bearing sons                         a nő fiúkat szül.                                             The woman bears sons
When we're through, You can't fail    Bátorság, nem lesz baj,                                   Be courageous, there won’t be trouble
Like a lotus blossom                           hidd el, nem hagyjuk,                         believe that we won’t let
Soft and pale                                      hogy szégyent vallj.                            you fail
How could any fellow say "no sale"   Érted bolondul a férfi raj.                   The swarm of men will be crazy for you
You'll bring honor to us all                 Hozzon örömöt e nap.                        let this day bring joy
There, you're ready                            -Így ni, készen vagyunk.                    There, we're ready
Not yet. An apple for serenity            -Pillanat, az alma jó lámpaláz ellen,    A moment, apple against stagefright
A pendant for balance                        a medál pedig megnyugtat.                 and the medal calms you
Beads of jade for beauty                    Gyöngysor kell, hogy szép légy,         Beads are needed so that you’re beautiful
You must proudly show it                  tedd fel s hordd is büszkén!               take them and wear them proudly
Now add a cricket just for luck                      És kell egy tücsök pech ellen,             And a cricket is needed against bad luck
And even you can't blow it                 no így már minden rendben.               So, now is everything all right,

Ancestors, hear my plea                     Jó sorsom, megkérlek,                        My good Fate, I beg you
Help me not to make a fool of me      légy ma kegyes hozzám szánjál meg  Be mercyfull to me have pity on me
And to not uproot my family tree       Féltő szüleim szívének                                   To the hearts of my parent who are afraid
Keep my father standing tall               hozzon megnyugvást e nap!               this day should bring relief
Scarier than the undertaker                 Az a lány ki a tűztől sem fél               The girl who’s not afraid of fire
We are meeting our matchmaker        reszket a házasságszerzőnél.               is trembling of fear at the Matchmaker's
Destiny, guard our girls                         Minden lány, termő ág                                   All girls are branches bearing fruit
And our future                                               Szépek, erényesek,                             They are beautiful and virtuous
As it fast unfurls                                 nem léhák                                           and not frivolous
Please look kindly on                         mit hoz jövőjük,                                 What their future brings
These cultured pearls                          még nem tudják                                  They don’t know yet
Each a perfect porcelain doll              Lelkük tiszta fehér lap.                                   Their souls white unwritten pages
Please bring honor to us                     Hozzon örömet...                                Bring joy
(repeated three times)                         (ismétlés 3x)                                       (repeated three times)
Please bring honor to us all                 Hozzon örömet e nap!                        Let this day bring joy

Edited: Teasers and new trailer released - Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2

"When Can I See You Again"

from Wreck-it Ralph ;)

Edit: I added the new trailer and a link to some more pictures and some thoughts towards the end of this post! Have fun!
Today I discovered that some pictures of the new Wreck-It Ralph sequel were released, among them a picture showing some of the Disney Princesses that will appear in the movie. I've been waiting for this since last year, when  a scene was shown at D23 where the girls appear. Here is an article from last year with more information:
https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/07/15/wreck-ralph-sequel-disney-princesses/481531001/
I found two versions of that picture:
 
I linked this first one from Facebook, shared byWalt Disney Animation Studios The second one is linked from the USA Today site. I got the information from the comments section belonging to the first picture that the picture is cropped and where the full picture can be found.
I'm very excited for this movie I loved the first one and I as far as I know, Vanellope von Schweetz is going to give the ladies a makeover. I hope this means casual dresses for all of them and I also hope Disney realeases the outfits as dress packs. My dolls would love to exchange their ballgowns from time to time for more comfortable clothes.
According to the Wikipedia article, all members of the Disney Princess lineup will be included, so no worries if you don't see your favourite girl in the picture. (To make it clear: I consider Disney Princesses and princesses two different things. Disney Princesses is the lineup, with Pocahontas and Mulan beeing part of it, and princesses are - well, princesses. Anna is a princess but not a Disney Princess. Mulan is a Disney Princess but not a princess. That's how I see it.) I think they actually use the cast of Ms Amy Mebbersons Pocket Princesses - her lovely and funny weekly pictures feature Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Elsa, Anna and Moana. It looks like these ladies will appear in the new Wreck-it Ralph movie, too. I understand that many people are disappointed that characters they love didn't make it but I greatly dislike the amount of negativity and rudeness it brings with it. Maybe the other characters (like Kida or Nala) will get a chance later where they won't have to compete with the princesses for attention. That is pretty hard in my opinion.
Here are some more pictures, also form Facebook, shared together with the first picture:

Oh and here is the link to the trailer, too, I'm pulling this one from youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMgLxOZJWvs
Neither the pictures nor the video are owned by me, I'm merely an excited fan who wanted to share it.
Here is the new trailer that came out today (4th June 2018):
https://youtu.be/_BcYBFC6zfY
This flickr user made some great screenshots, go and look at them! They are right at the top now, but will likely get lover and lover, as koji kiote  adds more new pictures to the gallery. Another flickr user with amazing pictures, drj1828, made an album for Wreck it Ralph 2 which can be found here and the pictures can be easily found there even as his gallery grows. Those pictures are of course not mine.
If you look at these pictures, you'll see that all the girls missing from the first picture are there: Mulan, Merida and Ariel.
No Elena, but she has her own Wiki (as far as I know) and she is from a TV show, so I think it makes sense she is not in the same room as the other girls. But I'm sure she is out there somewhere in the internet, we just don't ger to see her in this movie. :)
The US Release Date is said to be November 21, 2018.
I'm going to watch this one with the original dub, since most of the puns and jokes get lost while translating or doesn't work so well in another language - at least that's what happened to the first Wreck-It Ralph movie.
Who else is excited? :)

31 day Disney Challenge - Day 25 and Day 26

Day 25: funniest moment:
I choose a bunch of the best to make this pic :) Genie and his neck, Jafar and Iago plotting to marry Jasmine, Hercules and Megara, Hades and his henchmen Pain and Panic, the three good fairies from Sleeping Beauty, hit a guy with glasses, Mulan trying to behave like a man. :) There are so many more I didn't put in here though.

Day 26: saddest moment

As a child, I thought, as many others did, that Mufasas death and Simba trying to wake him up is the saddest. I found now that I think these two moments the most sad.
Beast letting Belle go - in the musical version it is even more touching, since he sings a reprise of  the song 'If I can't love her'
Elsa mourning for her sister -  think that the last of your loved ones is gone and you believe it's your fault - impossible to describe.

31 day Disney Challenge - Day 3 and 4

Day 3: Favourite character:  I almost choose Belle for this so Mulan could be the princess but then I decided to go with this incredible guy here. Genie is not to top :)
He has a thousand faces, he is funny and he is a true friend. :)

Day 4: Favourite Princesses:
Belle, because I love books and feel like I'm odd, just like her.
Mulan is a favourite, too! She is brave and different from the other princesses. I think every princess has qualities that girls can take as an example and follow. These two are my personal favourites beside Anna, Elsa and Rapunzel and.... I could go on.

Hasbro Little Kingdom - Mulan review

"Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär
Dann würdest du dich in mir sehn
Dann fiel's dir nicht so schwer
Was ich nicht sage, zu verstehn"

Literally: If I were your mirror/ You would see yourself in me/ then it wouldn't be so hard/ to understand what I don't say aloud
from the musical Elisabeth by Lévay and Kunze, song: Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär (literally: If I were your mirror)

Finding Mulan was a lucky chance. First I didn't even want to check on the Little Kingdom figures when I was at the store since I had done so a few days earlier and there was nothing new. Then I decided  to have just a quick look. And I saw that they got some new stuff and of course I had to check it. At first glance it was only Ariel and Rapunzel.
Mulaaaaaaan!
But at the very back, the only Mulan they had was hiding. I was lucky to spot her and I took her without hesitation. Mulan is a very rare gal and she is one of my very favourite princesses. I know, I say that every time but it is true! Mulan is a family favourite as well, she is my mothers and my sisters favourite as well. There is another set with Mushu and Mulan called Mulans Teaparty, Mulan has a different hairstyle in that other set and of course different clothes. I would have loved to own that one but I'm just as happy with this Mulan. So, let's free her, it's really easy.

She comes with a fan , a flower crown snap in and a single flower snap in, which looks like the flower on the comb that was put into her hair. I hope I can make her hold her fan. She, like Merida, doesn't come with the little catalog showing the available sets.
The front has, as usual, some artwork, a very cute version of Mulan in  her green and yellow everyday outfit she wears at the beginning of the movie.
At the backside, there is the usual explanation of snap ins and mix and match and of course a photo of Mulan.
She is easy to debox just like the other Little Kigdom Princesses.

Mulan has her hair like when she goes to the matchmaker, only her bun is at the very top of her head. Hasbro choose to give her brown eyes which suit her very well in my opinion. Her outfit looks more like a dress with a mermaid style skirt than the matchmaker gown. It has pink as the main color, but her belt and the top part of her skirt are golden and her sleeves are teal.
I don't remember Mulan having an outfit with this colorcombination but overall she looks nice in these colors. There are some nice moulded details on her dress.
The fan has Mushu on it and, quite unusal for an accessory that can be hold in the hand, it has a peg so it can be fastened either to the skirt or the head.
She can hold it beautifully.
It even works with both hands if the arms are moved a little.
A closer look at the flower in her hair.
Also, look at the moulded details in her hair and Mushus head on her fan
Mulan is by far the worst stander of the group, she is supported by a little paper stand I made  for my mini dolls. I guess Elsa will need some support too, she has a dress with a similar shape. She tends to fall back, so it is hard to get a picture of her backside.
I managed but it is not one of the best ones. Teal top and teal shoes are visible. Although she can't balace while standing, she is really great at sitting.
Once the golden part is removed she can sit beautifully and noone misses that golden belt. The skirt is super hard to get off. Here are her teal slippers again.
Maybe borrowed from Anna?
Under her pink top she has a teal bodysuit.
She thinks the golden part could pass as a helmet.
I'm so happy I could snag her she is a really pretty and rare addition to my collection.
The little Miss is called Kim :)
I won't do a mix and match photoshoot this time, I'll do one big separate mix and match photoshoot once all the princesses I currently own are deboxed and reviewed.
