Carmen's Song/Obsessed with Coraline



This was accidently posted a few days ago before I even finish bla bla-ing what's it all about cos CJ was playing the computer keys at that time. Oh well, just to say something about CJ's current obsession. She's so into the animated movie 'Coraline' and she's crazy about this particular song. She even memorized a few of those weird lyrics already. But I think this song and the movie are both cool too - artistically weird and unique. Have you watched it? It's worth watching if you haven't. Reminds of me some similar and old creative/weird animated movies such as Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.



This is one of Coraline's movie soundtrack:
"End Credits" by Bruno Coulais and beautifully sung by the Children Choir of Nice.

Here's a rougly written lyrics taken from the creator of this video:

Creaking Van Iddli Fla Lu Va
Pretty Sah Lu Feh Iddli Twu Ki Padi
Trelly Goilly Doilly Seli Pretty Chedi
Emi Swalin Gwoh

Seri Ferin Dorin Greh
Fairy Seiry Don
Sweedes Machin Twinky Doo
Fweeden Soreti*

Oosi An Tweeban Retiso
Neh-Neh Fehreeden
Sindwee Bin Doh

Swin Ting Lan Twenty Some Dring Doli
Sweet Lan Bih City Tran Dolinda
Pretty Leheleni Switi Kull
Meli Swimmin So

(repeat until *)


These might be the translation in English, they seem right but who knows:

Creaking is the door so gently,
Side to side calling your name.
Never ever ever ever open that door,
Things won't be the same.
Crawling is the spiders hand,
Seaching for it's prey.
Soon You'll be caught next,
Traped in the spiders web!

(the ghost children) RUUUUN!
SAAAAVE US
PLEASE SAVE OUR SOULS!!!!

(ghost boy)
Find our eyes before the full moon,
Make sure other mother dosn't find you,
A button in the eye will surely curse you.
The witch will eat you too!

(all of the choir)
Find our eyes before the full moon,
Make sure other mother dosn't find you,
A button in the eye will surely curse you.
The witch will eat you too!

Crawling is the spiders hand,
Seaching for it's prey.
Soon You'll be caught next,
Traped in the spiders web!


Since CJ is obsessed with Coraline, I made her a Coraline Scrapbook to make her happy. She often brings the scapbook and DVD cover to bed. My funny & weird lil girl.



Wanna know more about this movie - check out the trailer & synopsis here:

Coraline Jones is a girl of 11 who is feisty, curious, and adventurous beyond her years. She and her parents have just relocated from Michigan to Oregon. Missing her friends and finding her parents to be distracted by their work, Coraline tries to find some excitement in her new environment. She is befriended–or, as she sees it, is annoyed–by a local boy close to her age, Wybie Lovat and visits her older neighbors, eccentric British actresses Miss Spink and Forcible as well as the arguably even more eccentric Russian Mr. Bobinsky. After these encounters, Coraline seriously doubts that her new home can provide anything truly intriguing to her, but it does; she uncovers a secret door in the house. Walking through the door and then venturing through an eerie passageway, she discovers an alternate version of her life and existence. On the surface, this parallel reality is similar to her real life–only much better. The adults, including the solicitous Other Mother, seem much more welcoming to her. Coraline is more the center of attention there–even from the mysterious Cat. She begins to think that this Other World might be where she belongs. But when her wondrously off-kilter, fantastical visit turns dangerous and Other Mother schemes to keep her there, Coraline musters all of her resourcefulness, determination, and bravery to get back home–and save her family.
