This tumblr is about music, travel, curiosities about languages... a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
You will find extracts from some songs which I find ineresting and worth sharing.
Fear my thoughts.

The Rains of Castamere
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that’s all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o’er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.
Y quién sois vos, preguntó el orgulloso señor,
para haceros tales reverencias?
Sólo soy un gato con diferente pelaje,
y ésa es toda la esencia;
con pelaje dorado o pelaje carmesí,
el león garras sigue teniendo,
y las mías son tan largas y afiladas, mi señor,
como las que vais exhibiendo.
De esa manera habló, eso fue lo que dijo
el señor de Castamere,
pero ahora las lluvias lloran en sus salones,
y nadie oírlas puede.
Sí, ahora las lluvias lloran en sus salones,
y ni un alma oírlas puede.
O la traducción según los libros:
“¿Y a quién debemos el honor de contar con su presencia?
Seguro que a un pelagatos sin valía ni conciencia.”
“Sea de ropaje dorado, bien un león carmesí,
sus garras piden respeto, y más con un filo así.”
Aquello fue lo que dijo el señor de Castamere.
Ahora la lluvia circula y nadie viene a comer
a los salones dorados ¡Las lluvias de Castamere!
Y es que en España traducimos un poco como queremos, claro; se pierde un poco de la lógica y el mensaje, pero se conserva la rima… Más o menos.
Nunca pensé que oiría esta canción cantada. Ni la de La doncella y el oso cantada por fans, ya que estamos… Ahora no me la saco de la cabeza (¡un oso!)
(A los fans de la serie, si quereis acusarnos de spoileadores os retamos a que nos digais a qué se refiere la canción y qué es lo que os hemos spoileado)

Getting ideas for a new tattoo… I want to tattoo soo~ many things!
I made my mind. I think it is going to be an Yggdrasil Tree.
BUT. I think I know how it is going to be. I just need the perfect design, time and… money. Lots of money.
I hope I can get it by the end of the summer (because sun is bad for tattoes!)
Just found out that there is a crater in one of Jupiter’s moon (Io) called Loki Patera.
This is so amusing! (I was actually reading some articles about astronomy when I found that name).
FYI: patera is the boat that illegal immigrants use to enter Spain.
It’s all Nana’s fault I can’t stop posting Greyjoy.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
