OK, the two last posts were a bit of an intruder, and today's Mandarin song, 在我们的世界里 | Zài wǒmen de shìjiè lǐ, "In our world", links well with «In a world like this» from the song from just before those. Last post does fit in well in the middle though, to kind of tame the unbearable grief of the previous few songs. I met this song no later than Dec 9 2011.
- I translated it to Italian during English class on 5/12/11, in the below original version, surprisingly before the Italian (I'd have expected I started with English which was already my default for Chinese songs by then and then used Italian as a column filler); by the attachment to a 9/12/11 email, any differences from the below have been eliminated, save for «Perché sotto le stelle or frustrato son», which entered the blog post and is mentioned below), and «Insistente, ovunque io cerco te e i miei ricordi», for which the same holds; «insistente» becomes «incessante» on 19/12/20 at 19:08, and «Perché sotto le stelle or / Frustrato son?» gains its current form on 27/12/20 at 14:33.
- I translated it to English soon afterwards, during the same English class, in the original version below; I remember an early version with a different third line, perhaps the literal «Do you already not care for me?», which might have been rejected during the class, as suggested by the crossed-out "you" in the scrapped beginning "Do you" for the line; by the 9/12/11 email mentioned in the item for the Italian version, everything is like the final version below, except for the 27/12/20 14:32 change of «Frustrated feel» to «Feel disappointed»; in fact, during the 6/12 class, the intermediate version «In this starry night why do I frustrated feel?» appears;
- I translated it to Hungarian in… «Sep 2012»? Old post? I think you have some 'xplaining to do; the files are from 3/10/12, and the diary doesn't mention this, so why Sep? I say it was 3/10; anyways, it happened when my corrector was my guest and I gave Hungarian a try:
- I first translated it unsingably, giving version 1, from the 3/10/12 21:29 file "hu_ex.doc";
- Version 2 is the corrected unsingable version, found in the 3/10/12 22:38 file "hu_ex_corr.doc";
- Then we set it to music with teamwork, which is version 3, also found in that 22:38 file; the Youtube video appears to mistakenly sing "az éz világomban" and "kereslek";
- Then we have the Romanian version, surely from no sooner than May 2012, and no later than Nov 12 2012, when a note containing this and a number of other Romanian translations, appears to have last been edited, and I expect this to be from after the Hungarian version; OK let's look at what files I have:
- A quadruplet of files, one from 12/10/12 19:12, one from 14/10 14:24, and two from 15/10 (17:25 and 18:35), give what is version 1 here; there is a printout of the 17:25 file with "Ție spun" annotated on "Îți spun";
- A 17/10 22:32 video has me singing the song and is captioned; the text is identical to another file, last edited 18/10 18:17 but created 16/10 21:29, which is probably what I was reading from while making the video, and bears version 2 save for "me simt frustrat"; the changes between video and new file are contracting îți eu into îțe and only correcting "me simt frustrat" in the captions; the new file, w.r.t. the old files, changes "îți spun to "îți eu spun", "Pe bune mai n-avem un trecut?" to "N-avem mai un trecut pe bune?", and "Mi-amintesc mereu de trecutul nostru, / Nicicând n-opresc, mereu tine caut" to "Mereu d-al nostru trecut mi-amintesc eu: / Nicicând n-opresc, tine caut mereu";
- My first Youtube video of this song, which was also posted to Fb on 14/2/13, differs from a 6-version file from 14/2/13 by "grijă de mă" and possibly "deja n-o ai", and the errors "me simt frustrat" and "d-al nostru tracut"; that file, along with a 29/10/12 18:57 file, bears version 3;
- Version 4 was the one originally posted to the blog, and the one after the corrections in this Fb note (which appears to have been published on 27/11/12 at 19:36 and was saved as a doc on 18/11/12 at 22:45), so it seems those corrections weren't brought into the Youtube video; the note actually has "nicicând m-opresc", possibly a typo, and "te mūlt iubesc" with mult stretched over two notes, suggesting "mult mult" to avoid the stretch; btw, 27/12/20 14:35 I change «De ce mereu văzând stelele / Mă simt frustrat?» to its current form.
- Then there is the Zulu version, from between Jan 8 2013 (date modified of a file containing this version) and Dec 7 2012 (pretty sure I didn't know my corrector before then, and I wouldn't have tried my hand at Zulu without a corrector); the video shared on Facebook has a comment suggesting «kwezifiso zami», but I changed the original «Eyodwa imfiso wami» to something else, as you can see below; I think this change was thought up while reading said comment very soon after 8/1, but I'm not sure; also, why I wrote ngikufūna with that macron is beyond me; I hope I remember to correct it when I edit this stuff in; not sure where I got either ngonke or zonke, but it's supposed to be onke, fixed 23:31 14/2/21; also, «Yíni phánsi kwembasa / Ngishaba njalo?» got its current form at 14:41 on 27/12/20. Within 13:20:12 on 27/3/21, however, I realize I used plural nina instead of singular wena, so I fix that for the recording. On 5/5/21 I try to analyze that super-long «Ubusidlulileyo ubusakhona hhayi», and kinda fail. So, ubusidlulileyo would be the relative form of dlulile, "have passed", in class 14, but the relative concord is obu-, not ubu-. The translation given by isiZulu.net is «isikhathi esidlulileyo», lit. «time that has passed us». Ubusakhona presumably wanted to be the negative «isn't there anymore», with extra negation hhayi right afterwards, but there is no negative prefix in it. Surprised my consultant said nothing… anyway, -sa- is "still" and becomes "anymore" with the negation, "have" is rendered as "with", so "we are no longer with past"… a- negative, -si- "we", -sa- "anymore", -na- "with", obusidlulileyo "that which has passed us". So I come to «asisanobusidlulileyo», which makes never-ending German words shy away and competes with goshdarn Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch for length. And that happens at 13:14 on 5/5/21, and it fits the tune perfectly. But that -si- is pretty pointless, so I'll stretch wethu into wēthu and go with asisanobudlulileyo. 13:15, and that is the decision. I don't think I'll rerecord it, but who knows :).
- Finally there is the Mende version, translated with great effort between 26/12 and 27/12/20, except for a "Yɛla i bi gɔhũnɛ" version of l. 1 from 15:06 on 23/12/20, in any case a loooong time later; then again, Mende is kind of a recent addition to the roster of languages I know about (well OK, a year and three months, but still), so it couldn't have been that much earlier.
