Our Song

by Myla on September 21, 2009

As you might have noticed, I changed the theme of this blog. I’ve been using the old one for about a year and a half and I thought that this blog could use a face lift. The project of installing a new theme entailed digging in to our wedding pictures. I needed to look for photos I can use for the rotating images on the sidebar.  While doing so, I couldn’t help but walk along the memory lane and mull over  everything that happened on that special day. After looking at our wedding pictures, I listened to our wedding song and I thought of sharing it with you.

It is in German. Back then, I didn’t really understand it but I fell in love with the melody right away. After listening to the translation from my, then, fiancé, I thought it fits to what we feel for each other. We both like the song and the lyrics so we sort of had an understanding that this song will be “our song”.

It was played on our wedding day right after the “you may kiss the bride” moment.

Two years later, I can understand the song perfectly and although there are a lot of translations on the internet, I made my own. The words might sound silly and awkward in the English translation (because we don’t say things like that in English) but trust me, they’re wonderful in German.

Hi Ms. Vienna!
Ganda & your translation is very good !Can I add this song to my wedding song list? Just 1 of the music background during the ceremony. I dont know any other songs in German other than Perfekte Welle & some from Falco. Hindi nman bagay kung Falco.Well my “kiss the bride” song is Viva La Vida by Coldplay something happy & fast.

Thank you for sharing such a deeply touching love song in German! What a perfect wedding song, and what a perfect way to get married– just the two of you with the pastor… in a church perhaps. You both make a lovely couple.

Hi, HELP! I’m looking for a traditional German father/daughter dance song for my wedding. My dad is from Germany and I want to surprise him with something. He doesn’t like a lot of the newer music. Any ideas??? I would really appreciate it. That song is really awesome that you have posted!!!

VERY beautiful couple. I salute you!
