LA IGLESIA DEL LAGO

 LA IGLESIA DEL LAGO

Una canción de Sven Lindahl

traducida del sueco por Sandra Dermark

el 16 de marzo de 2025

*******************************

Hay música muy bella en la iglesia del lago,

un joven toca a Bach sin que nadie pueda escuchar,

el órgano es su vida y con música es mago,

quiere ser organista como lo fue su papá.

Mientras ricos y pobres duermen en sus camas,

se pone sus mejores galas como cada vez

y toca fugas en el silencio y la calma,

por último, su favorita: Beatles, toca Help!

***************************************

Si hereda la iglesia, ¡qué hermosa ocasión!

Del pop disfrutaría la congregación.

Sus tonos, puros, claros,

su público encantado…

que escucha embelesado

música de la mejor.

*************************************

Con pocos acordes logra llenar esa iglesia,

donde papá tocaba en cada boda y comunión…

Sueña con un coro que la nave así llena,

que llena con su música a la congregación.

Que ricos y que pobres lleguen él ya desea,

y su concierto vespertino, alegre, él tocará:

tocará a los Beatles y fugas barrocas…

que son igual de hermosas, todos de acuerdo estarán.

THE STORY OF US TWO (LYAEGAR FILK)

Eons since Tywin of the Lannisters, of LANNISTER: A WESTEROSI MUSICAL -that opera bunny that grew into an April Fool's prank!- and my bunny farm has been decimated.
I had filk ideas, but I couldn't rewrite the lyrics 'cause they fit the characters/scenarios like Cinderella's shoe, without any indications of the time period or names being mentioned. One of which was Magnus Uggla's Vi 2 as a Lyaegar duet.
Maybe I will translate the lyrics straight from the Swedish into English... right now, allons-y, the reason why Lyaegar is because the song is about star-crossed luvvers who both of them already have a partner. And it's so heart-wrenching that Lyanna and Rhaegar are the first things that come to mind.

THE STORY OF US TWO

LYANNA:
Think that us who love one another
outside others' sight,
live close to parents, friends, some brother...
in broad daylight...

RHAEGAR:
But the time that we steal
for our trysts
feels wonderful and dear...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
...yet, at break of day,
when the two of us must take our leave...
it's so clear!

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.
I gave my strength away,
I've lost my reason for a way
to understand without woe
this is the story of us two...

RHAEGAR:
Often thought of stakes for raising,
taking one more chance...
Likewise, as many times of leaving
this sad romance...

LYANNA:
For I know that it's wrong,
what we do 
towards those we betray...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
Yet, if we cease our trysts,
I would have always reached the same answer
anyway...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.
I gave my strength away,
I've lost my reason for a way
to understand without woe...
sad is the story of us two...

RHAEGAR:
Hold me tight, take my hand,
let us right now share our life...
For soon you'll go forth to your man,
and I myself home to my wife...

LYANNA:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.

RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
I do love you so...
I do love you so...
SAD IS THE STORY OF US TWO...

I really envision Rhaegar and Lyanna as I listen to this song, even in original Swedish. So <3 enjoy this one, and here is the original song in Swedish:
