Jolene

I started thinking, "What if Edgar Allan Poe would have written Jolene?" and this is what I came up with.
TTTO "Jolene", as performed by Dolly Parton

Recording

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, you shouldn't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
You shouldn't take him just because you can

A man whose wife is recent dead,
He thought he'd have you in my stead –
But there is more to us than you have seen.
You're pretty with your auburn hair
And green eyes – but why should I care?
You've stolen my beloved from me, Jolene.

Brothers in Arms

Brothers in Arms

Based on Brothers in Arms by the Dire Straits

This green and blue planet
Is a home now for me,
But my home is another
And always will be.
My race would enslave you,
Your cities and your farms,
But I'm proud to call you
My brothers in arms.

עד אלייך

עד אלייך

מבוסס על Bow's Turned Back של הת'ר אלכסנדר.
משה צדקה כתב גרסה מתורגמת לאנגלית שאפשר למצוא כאן

בבדידות הליל, אחשוב רק עלייך,
ביושבי בין כיסא ומסך.
בוהה בעינייך, שבוי בקסמייך,
רוצה ורואה רק אותך.
כבר הגיע הזמן שאצא מכאן,
אעזוב את שתיקת המשרד;
אבל לא, עוד לא – כי את כאן, את פה,
אנחנו סוף סוף לבד…

רצים הת'רדים בבוהק לדים,
עובד המעבד עד כלות.
אפל החדר, עולה התדר –
אני מוכן להתעלות,
עד אלייך…

כשאלך

אוקטובר 20th, 2008

תרגום של "When I Go" של דייב קארטר.

בּוֹא, הַבּוֹדֵד, צייד בֶּן מְלוּכָה,
כְּמוֹ הַנֵּץ במעופו, אֲנִי אֵלֵךְ.
אָח, בּוֹא, קָחֵנִי תַּחַת כְּנָפְךָ,
עוֹד אַכֶּה כְּמוֹ בָּרָק כשאֵלֵךְ.

אזמן כְּמוֹ תּוֹף הָרַעַם אֶת סוּפַת החורבה
כְּמוֹ עַמּוּד עָנָן וָדָם מִתּוֹךְ אַדְמַת הָעֲרָבָה
הָאוֹיֵב יפוץ כְּמוֹ שֶׁלֶג מוּל הָרוּחַ הָעוֹלֵה
וְהָסַעֲרַה תִּזְכּוֹר, וַתְּסַפֵּר אֶת הסיפּור כשאֵלֵךְ.

One Long Way

TTTO "One Big Sea" by Talis Kimberly. Spoilers for Doctor Who episode "Girl in the Fireplace".

He is gone and will not return.
Doesn't prevent me waiting for him.
Watched the fireplace as it burned:
Didn't so much as get glimpses of him.

And I still can see his face, hear his voice,
Je Regrette.
He hasn't changed a bit since the day that we first met.

מבוסס על "דוגית נוסעת"

Leslie Crosses

Based on the movie Bridge to Terabithia, and may contains spoilers to it.
Tune: Original.

Recording

You can run fast, but you know I run faster.
Race you someplace where you've never been?
A place where us, lowliest kids, reign as masters,
A place like you've never seen.

Though it's hidden, I see it, and from what you've told me
I think you are one of those who see it too;
This rope may look frayed but I know it'll hold me,
And this crossing is meant for two –

Terabithia's calling for you.

Soul of Filking

Soul of Filking

After Fantasy.Con, at which after I stopped singing someone said, "Great, now let's all cut our throats!" I resolved to start writing more cheerful stuff.
…I think I just failed.

TTTO "Hallelujah", the Rufus Wainwright version.

I think there is a basic tune
In ancient verse, in word and rune –
But you don't really care what I am thinking.
And whether that is right or wrong
I hear it within every song;
I think that it must be the soul of filking.

I'm the instrument of war
For the battles you are waging – I am yours.
