Beyond - Legends En Vie

Title: En Vie
Disclaimer: I do not own the song En Vie, as that belongs to Apocalyptica, and I most certainly don't own Star Wars or else you'd all be watching YJK series cartoons instead of reading LOTF.
Summary: TK patiently awaits Jacen's arrival while isolating herself from her suitors.
Timeframe: You decide.
Characters: TK, Jacen, reference to Allana
Notes: I hope I translated this right. Thanks, Striker, for beta'ing and Idrelle, for decoding the lyrics.

They wanted her.
They were nobles; she was queen.
They professed to love her.
She professed to hate them.

Pourquoi faire autant d?histoires ?
Pour des lendemains qui chantent faux
Pourquoi poser tant de questions ?
Faut-il que l?on soit aussi cons
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir ?
Un peu plus un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir ?
And the world all gone to war


Why the evil, why the hate?
Why leave royals with dark, cruel fate?


They wanted her.
They told their lies and promised peace.
And yet it would not cease.
For that, she spurned them.

Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons à nos souvenir
Buvons pour ne plus mentir
Achevons nous pour le plaisir

They wanted her.
They worked for would-be usurpers.
They fought for her ?love?.
She despised them.

Et si un jour, tout refleurit
Que par amour, on reste en vie

They wanted her.
Those inbred fools.
Her man?s coming, and she awaited him.

Pourquoi laisser faire le hasard
Quand nos rêves perdent la mémoire ?
Faut-il que l?on soit aussi bête ?
C?est l?histoire qui se répète
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir ?
un peu plus un peu moins mal
Ne suffirait-il pas de vouloir ?
and this world all gone to war


Why the evil, why the hate?
Why leave royals with dark, cruel fate?


They wanted her.
On their side, bearing their heir.
Nobles vied and the commoners died.
She hated them.

Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons à nos souvenirs
Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons pour ne plus se mentir
Buvons à nos souvenirs
Achevons nous pour le plaisir

They wanted her.
She claimed Jacen.
As slave and consort.
And he?s not one of them.

 

Sil's rather shoddy translation.

Why do as many stories?
For following days which sing false
Why ask so many questions?
It is necessary that we?re idiots
Wouldn't it be enough to be seen?
a little more or less badly
Wouldn't it be enough to want?
And the world all gone to war

Let us reduce our sorrows
Let us go for the pleasure
Let us distil our hatred
And let us drink to our memory
Let us drink not to lie more
Let us go for the pleasure

And if one day, all reflects
That by love, one remains in life

Why leave the chance be
When our dreams lose the memory?
Is it necessary to be stupid?
It is the history which is repeated
Wouldn't it be enough to be seen?
a little more or less badly
Wouldn't it be enough to want?
and this world all gone to war

Let us reduce our sorrows
Let us go for the pleasure
Let us distil our hatred
And let us drink to our memories
Let us reduce our sorrows
Let us go for the pleasure
Let us distil our hatred
And let us drink to lie itself more
Let us drink with to memories
Let us go for the pleasure

 

I like this, Sil. Pretty angsty here for TK. *Kills the non-Jacen suitors, including JINO*

 

Powerful stuff here, Sil. Very angsty, but highly appropriate for Tenel Ka. Wonderful job!

And glad I could help you with the lyrics.

 

Striker and Idri: thanks. Guess I'll have to tone down the angst a bit. either that or stop writing heavy metal TK songs, even if it's metal on cellos.

 

is it really this bad that nobody's reviewing?

 

This is really beautiful, Sil So much emotion. Well done! You have quite a talent for these poems.

 

Great post. Emotional.

 

YK and Geith: thanks
