Sharing the magic of music - Transitus - the end of the musical Marys Gospel

First and most important: I don't want to be offensive or hurt anybody, I simply love the music and wanted to share it.
This musical tells the story from Mary's point of view. This is the end, when her son comes for her and takes her with him. The other one is John who took her in and took care of her after the death of her son, Jesus.
The piece premiered many many years ago and it was recorded and shown on TV sometimes, around Christmas and Easter. I've seen it back then as a child.
It is completely written in hungarian and is by Tolcsvay László, Müller Péter and Müller Péter Sziámi
 You can listen to it (and watch it, too) here:
The performers are Sasvári Sándor as Jesus and Vikidál Gyula as John.
Fun fact: They both played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.
Here is the lyrics, hungarian on the left my english translation on the left. It's only meant for understtanding what they so it doesn't work as an english lyrics for the song, it's not "singable" so to speak.


                        Ő az Anyám!                                                She is my mother!

                        Röpítik angyalok,                                         Angels fly her

                        Szemétől kék az ég,                                      Her eyes make the sky blue

                        S a szívétől ragyog.                                      and her heart makes it shine

                        Holdsugár a haja,                                        Moonshine is her hair

                        Napfény a homloka,                                     Sunshine is her forehead

                        És ahogy mosolyog,                                     And as she smiles

                        Múlik az éjszaka.                                         the night, the darkness goes ends

                        Üdvözlégy, anyám!                                      Hail Mother / Ave mater mea*

                        Üdvözlégy, Mária!                                       Hail Mary / Ave Maria*

                        Dicsőség tenéked!                                        Glory to you

                        Fényesség! Glória!                                      Light, gloria

                        Arcodat álmodom                                        I dream your face is

                        Kietlen égre,                                                on the deserted sky

                        Jöjjön el hát                                                 Let the era of mothers

                        Az anyák kora végre!                                   finally start!

*as I don't have any experience with such texts, I don't know how to translate it best. I thought giving the latin version might be better and helps more to understand the text.

Here is the same song from last weekend (13th May 2018)Mary and Jesus were the same actors as in the other video, Johns role is taken by the composer, Tolcsvay László.
This one was a concert in the church mentioned in the description of the video. it was such a wonderful experience to hear it again after so many years!
Maybe I'll do some more translations for this piece. I hope you like it!

Dr Bubo - the series 'The next one, please' and the opening song

This one is not actually about the magic of music.
I share this one because it's so funny :) I hope it cheers you up a little as well. It is the opening song of an old hungarian cartoon called 'The next one, please'. When I say it's old, I mean it, the first two seasons aired first during the ninety-seventies the third one a few years later. Each of the three seasons has 13 episodes.
I really enjoyed it as a child but there are lots of hints, problems adressed in this series that is more for grown-ups like alcoholism or enviromental pollution. I'd say it's for anybody who cares to watch it. :)

Here is an episode with english subs to give you an idea what this series is like :) I did not make the subtitles, I just found it on youtube, it was a school project, as the credits in the description of the video state.

Enjoy! :)
There are some names and wordplays that are really hard to translate. Some examples:
Csőrmester: the name of the falcon sergeant is a combination of the words beak (csőr) and sergeant (őrmester)
In hungarian the same word is used for both pole and corner - that's how that joke works :)

Here is the hungarian text for the song for those who are interested, this one my translation, the one in the subs is a bit different and not made by me:

Legsalt of the snake
A set of (false) teeth for the birds
The patient speaks
and the doctor writes it down
Those who come after us will talk about... about whom? About Dr Bubo!

The sheatfish is coughing
the squirrel is rheumatic
nobody can help them but the psychologist
Those who come after us will talk about... about whom? About Dr Bubo!

That old fool, the reptile lied, (with reptile he refers to the boa professor :) )
He is as much a rector
as I am a doctor
Those who come after us will talk about... about whom? About Dr Bubo!
Those who come after us will talk about Dr Bubo!

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
