Mix: More Than Walls

[pureimagination]

Title: More Than Walls
Fandom: harry potter
Subject:Hogwarts
Notes: I worked with the idea that Hogwarts is ...aware of itself and the children it protects. There are several songs that are in French or German within this mix. Here the original lyrics are on the left and my attempted translations are below on the right.

The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light

misty mountains - from the hobbit

Cet air qui m'obsède jour et nuit
Cet air n'est pas né d'aujourd'hui
Il vient d'aussi loin que je viens
Traîné par cent mille musiciens
Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j'ai voulu dire pourquoi
Mais il m'a coupé la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix couvre ma voix
Padam...padam...padam...
Il arrive en courant derrière moi
Padam...padam...padam...
Il me fait le coup du souviens-toi
Padam...padam...padam...
C’est un air qui me montre du doigt
et je traine apres moi comme une drole d’erreur
Cet air qui sait tout par coeur

This tune which haunts me day and night
This tune wasn't written today
It comes from as far away as I come
Dragged around by a hundred thousand musicains
One day this tune will drive me mad
A hundred times I've wanted to say why
But it's interrupted me
It always speaks before i do
And its voice drowns out my voice
Padam...padam...padam
It comes running up behind me
Padam...padam...padam
It plays me the trick of: do you remember
Padam...padam...padam
It is a tune that points me out
And I drag after me like a mistake child
This tune that knows everything by heart

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne-leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

Look out on your path
Children who are lost and who have been forgotten
Lend them a hand
And lead them
Towards another future
Feel in the middle of the night
A surge of hope
The indefatigability of life
The Road to glory
Childish happiness
Erased and forgotten too fast
A golden light shines forever
And the end of the road

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

evanescence - hello

'N ganz normaler tag
Die strasse wird zum grab
Die sporen sind verwischt
Kalt is die nacht

Wir friert ist zu schwach
Niemand wird sie zahln
Niemand had sie gesehen

just an ordinary day
the street becomes a grave
the traces are fading
Cold is the night

those too weak are freezing
nobody will count them
nobody has seen them

vergessene kinder - tokio hotel


Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

the killers - all these things i've done

Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

titanium - Jahméne Douglas
