Mantle of lilies

Welp, this post has switched its title language from Spanish (Manto de azucenas) to Italian (Manto di gigli) and finally English, this despite there being like one single line of English. So, what song is this about? Manto de açucenas, which I met at least all the way back in 2011, but only translated rather recently, finding out it was about a procession in the process. So, translations:

1. First thing I did was the Greek; I started from that, instead of Spanish or Italian, because with those two I typically expect to save the rhymes by using similar words, and with "andor" that wouldn't be possible; let's hear IAFI about this though: 「 After asking Kika how to render "andor", on 6/12/22 I start translating this to Greek, doing the chorus 17:57-18:24. 18:29-19:08 I do the first verse (both sections), and the rest is from 22:18-22:42. Kika and I correct starting that night, going on throughout 7/12 and into its night. [Version below with l. 1 «Στο άρμα ενώ πατούν ελαφρά,»] Seeing Flora40's poetic translation and its Στ' άρμα, at 2:18 on 25/12/22 I think maybe I should do «Να, στ' αρμα ενώ πατούν ελαφρά Xmas». I'll investigate what Kika thinks about this.」; at 22:05 on 31/3/23, I change της ζωής μας -> στην ζωή μας in the third-to-last line of the chorus; as I cut the Greek-Italian video on 1/4/23, I notice «Των λυπημένων όλων, αναζητώντας» doesn't align with what I implemented into the Italian, so I change it to «Αυτών που ζουν στην λύπη αναζητώντας» at 15:29;
2. Then we have Spanish; IAFI: 「 Thinking about the post, I realize I need something to side with the original, so I go with Spanish. On 7/12/22 at 17:53-17:54, I try with scarce success to do verse 1 section 1. At 19:33 I find myself once again impeded by that stupid change of conjugation in "vivir", which screws up the rhyme viver-proteger, while the other rhyme of verse 1 section 2 is fine. So far, I thus have: / / Se posan levemente en el paso / Los pies de la Virgen Madre, y nos recuerdan / Las palomas tan amadas del Señor / En un manto imacolado de azucenas. / / Y por el mundo se van caminando / En esta doce misión de protegir / Quien vive tristemente, y buscando / La forma más humana de vivir. / / At 20:44, I think of fixing one rhyme of section 1 with «Posándose en el paso delicados,» and «En un manto de azucenas imaculado.», wondering how the heck I'm gonna deal with l. 1 having the feet and the Mother Virgin. And I kinda don't, since the latter ended up squeezed into verse 2. Anyway, at 23:44-0:10 I finally finish the translation, with some tweaks 14:31 the next day, and one correction imaculado->inmaculado as I send it to MdH, whose corrections I am still awaiting.」; at 13:53 on 10/5/23, María finally sends her corrections, and we discuss them, reaching the below final version within 15:12; I also thought of the following alternate "verse 1 half 2", but she said she'd rather not rephrase too much: «Y por el mundo se va caminando / En su dulce misión de protección / Del que vive tristemente, y buscando / De (la) vida más humana una ocasión/visión/rincón.», «Y por el mundo se va caminando / En su dulce misión de protección / Del que vive tristemente, y buscando / De nuestra humana vida la perfección»; as I cut the video of Spanish and English at 13:34 on 20/5/23, I think of changing "y buscando" to "y va buscando", both for interpretation reasons and to avoid the hiatus tristemente-y; finally, 25/9/24 22:43, I think back to it, and since the current version adds a few notes in the chorus, I pull one of the additions out by changing the first line as per going from Corrected/Video version to Final version;
3. Then we have that single line of English; again, IAFI: 「 8/12/22 14:15, to side it with the Italian I was thinking of doing, I think of doing an English version, and do one line: «And makes us teel the pain of our own sinning,».」; I guess I'll figure this out eventually, and do Spanish+English in a video; this weekend the video is Greek+Italian;
   I take this up again on 4/5/23, thinking of doing Spanish+English within this month which is "Virgin Mary month", and basically I do the whole translation, in two lots (16:54-17:21 and 19:30-19:56), discarding that one line I'd already done; at 12:11 on recording day, as I record, I change "So those who don't believe" to "Even those"; about 1min later I think of changing goodness to tenderness, but I soon discard that change; as I cut the video, I focus on «those who do live in sadness, always looking»; first, at 12:27, I make that «all those who live»; at 13:36, analogously to the 13:34 Spanish tweak, I think of «And <goes/is> looking»; of course, that needs to be plural; make it «and are looking», 13:56; in the meantime, at 12:47, I thought of changing «life we're living» with «life we're leading», but I'm not sold on that; at 10:44:~30 on 25/5/23, as I watch this with my physiotherapist, I think of changing «To those who look, a smile her face doth show» to «To those who look, a smile her face will show» to avoid the archaism;
4. Ah yes, the Italian; after having it on my mind for a while, as a side to the English that was still only at one line, I finally got around to it; IAFI still isn't complete about it, and ever will: 「After having it in mind for quite a while, on 23/3/23 I finally get around to starting this, and between 19:19 and 20:05 I do almost the whole thing, the "andor" lines being the only unsolved problems as I place this here on 25/3/23. Here is what I have:」, and what I have is essentially the version below, except l. 2 has the options «I piedi suoi ricordano un po' Nel loro appoggiarsi / Nel lor poggiarsi a terra delicati (losing the andor) / Posandosi sul rialzo delicati (Badly rendering it)», and the other line with "andor" has «Della tua portantina al camminar / Della lettiga al dolce camminar,»; to complete the history, late on 29/3/23 and going on into 30/3, I finally solve the "andor" problem, and also think that maybe "procurando" is referred to "quem vive tristemente" rather than the Virgin, coming up with the variant «Chi è nella tristezza e va cercando -> Chi vive tristemente e va cercando.»… oh well, that was the following morning at 10:28; on 31/3/23 I decide to keep "e va cercando", because I'm rather persuaded that the one looking for a human way to live is the sad person, not the Virgin; so before posting this that night, I change "ricercando" to "e va cercando" below.

OK, so let's see the song.

Pousando levemente no andor Os pés da Virgem Mãe lembram apenas As pombas tão amadas do Senhor Num manto imaculado de açucenas E vão p'lo mundo fora caminhando Nessa doce missão de proteger Quem vive tristemente, procurando A forma mais humana de viver Refrão: Senhora Teu sorriso magoado Acorda a nossa alma adormecida E faz sentir a dor de ter pecado De todas a maior da nossa vida Senhora Teu sorriso magoado Acorda a nossa alma adormecida E todo protecção e caridade Seu rosto vai sorrindo a quem o vê Num gesto de carinho e de bondade Tocando mesmo aquele que não crê E leves vão batendo Tuas contas Ao doce caminhar do teu andor E em cada uma delas Tu descontas As contas que devemos ao Senhor Refrão Να, στ' άρμα ενώ πατούν ελαφρά, Τα πόδια της Παναγιάς ομοιάζουν λίγο Τα περιστέρια του Κυρίου τα αγαπητά Εις ένα άσπιλο μανδύα κρίνων. Και βγαίνουν εις τον κόσμο περπατώντας Στο καθήκον αυτό γλυκό της προάσπισης Αυτών που ζουν στην λύπη αναζητώντας Το είδος το πιο ανθρώπινο της ζωής. Επωδός· Κυρία, το χαμόγελο σου λυπημένο Το πνεύμα μας ξυπνά το κοιμισμένο, Μας κάνει να νιώθουμε της αμαρτίας Την λύπη, την πιο μεγάλη στην ζωή μας. Κυρία, το χαμόγελο σου λυπημένο Το πνεύμα μας ξυπνά το κοιμισμένο. Κι όλο μια προάσπιση και μια φιλανθρωπία, Το πρόσωπο της γελαστό θωρεί, Σε στοργής και καλοσύνης χειρονομία, Κι αυτούς που δεν πιστεύουν, τους συγκινεί. Κι οι χάντρες, ελαφρά αυτές χτυπιούνται Στο βήμα του άρματος πολύ γλυκό, Σε κάποια χάντρα, να, προεξοφλούνται Τα χρέη που χρωστάμε στον Κύρϊο. Επωδός As on the paso delicately The Virgin Mary treads, her feet resemble The doves loved by the Lord affectionately Of snow-white lilies on a spotless mantle. And out into the world they go a-walking, In this sweet mission to keep watch upon All those do live in sadness and are looking For the most human way they can live on. Chorus: O Lady, your sweet visage, sadly smiling, Our sleeping souls from slumber is awaking. The sorrow of our sins it gets us feeling, The greatest sorrow in this life we're living. O Lady, your sweet visage, sadly smiling, Our sleeping souls from slumber is awaking. And full of charity and of protection, To those who look, a smile her face will show, In a gesture of goodness and affection, Even those who don't believe her love will know The beads, upon each other lightly beating With the gentle movement of your paso go, In each of them our debts you are reducing, Each of the debts that to the Lord we owe. Chorus

Random religious translations

In the morning of 21/3/23, I think back to the church hymns I used to sing in Abingdon way back when, and randomly translate two. More specifically, at 10:17 I try to fit the Italian mystery of faith into one tune, and at 10:18-19 I try the same with the Holy. The result of this, and a tweak from 23/3/23 0:32 (changing «Crīsto verrà / Cristo tornerà» to the below), is the below, which is both in text form and in score form. The Holy may be ended with "Che viene nel nome di Dio", which fits the tune in an obvious way.
Then on 26/3/23 at 19:25 I think back to the Santo that gave me the inspiration for the music for «O decus argolicum quin puppim flectis Ulixes» which I then reused for «O mea vita meo in corde vacuum scio esse» (cfr. this post), and randomly translate the first two lines below. I finally come back to this partial thing on 31/3/23, in the afternoon, and complete the thing while writing the score. So I add it below the following night. There may have been some invention in the reproduction of the full hymn, since the only part I know for sure is the first two lines :). If Sibelius would let me make PDFs of the scores, I wouldn't have the horrible quality of the last score :).

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again! Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and God of might. Heaven and Earth, heaven and Earth Are full of Your glory, Your power, and might! Chorus: Hosanna, hosanna, Hosanna in the highest heavens! (twice) Blessed, blessed is He who comes, Blessed, blessed is He who comes, Blessed is He, blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! Chorus Santo, santo, santo Il Signore Dio dell'universo! I cieli e la terra Sono pieni della Tua gloria! Osanna, osanna Nell'alto dei cieli! Benedetto Colui Che viene nel nome del Signore! Osanna!

Cristo è morto, Cristo è risorto, Cristo ancor verrà! Sānto, sānto, santo (è) il Signor, Dïo dell'ūnivērso. I cieli e la Terra, i cieli e la Terra Son pieni dellā Tua glōria! Rit.: Osanna, osanna, Osanna nel più alto dei cieli! (2v.) Benedetto Colūi che vien, Benedetto Colūi che vien, Benedetto Colui, benedetto Colui Che viene nel nome del Signor! Rit. Holy, holy, holy Lord God of pōw-er and might! Heavn an' Earth are full Of Your glory, Your power and might. Hosanna, Hosanna In the highest heavens! Blessèd, blessèd is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna…

Do you hear the people sing?

Today we have a couple very recent translations. The song is English, it's from Les Misérables the 2016 musical, and it's Do you hear the people sing?. I kind of gave it my own spin by misremembering two little parts of verse 1 :). I have Chinese and Greek for now. Let's hear IAFI:

1. 「 I will start by quoting a self-message from 23:18 on 7/3/23: «Recently, browsing through old stuff on a Time Machine I last used in 2018, the barricade song from the Les Miserables musical came under my eyes, and unlocked a memory. I'm pretty sure I started a Chinese translation of that. Now, I first saw the musical in 2016, and I'm pretty sure I started the translation in an August orat most September, and if it had been in 2017 or later it would probably be in a translation note, so I'll say August 2016. Now, I can only remember the following: 听到人们唱出吗？ / 唱出生气人的歌曲». And that's about it. I believe I did two more lines, but unless I find them in some old file, they're gone.». Later that evening I tried my hand at the following two lines, with a rhyme problem, but now, at 1:00 on 12/3/23, I started over on those lines, and got this: 听到人们唱出吗？ / 唱出生气人的歌曲 / 正在把它唱出的人民 / 不想再次做奴隶」; the rest of the story is simple: on 17/3/23 at 0:45 I take it back up, or rather that's when I finally manage to do one new line, and then by 1:13 I'm done, with a couple tweaks the following day; except there's a whole verse I didn't even know existed until I listened to the whole video as I drafted this nearing the midnight between 17 and 18/3, so I guess it's time to finish this off since tomorrow is recording day :); and 23:47-0:09 I complete it; time to do the same with the Greek; on the day of the upload, at 16:23/24, someone comments "崭新的人生" on my video; I only see it at 17:10, and eventually realize it's a good idea to replace 新新的人生 with that;
2. But first, let's hear IAFI on that one: 「 Let's just go through all the variants of this, shall we? «Τραγουδάν, ακούγεις 'σύ? / Να το τραγούδι των <>» 8/3/23 1:55; «τψν οργόντων(?)», 1:57 same day, with great doubts on its correctness; «Άκουσε! Να, τραγουδάν», 1:57 same day, from a previous idea "<> ακούγεις? Τραγουδάν", to avoid the unmarked question; «Αχ, τραγουδάν OR Αχ το τραγούδι», 1:58, to avoid the double να; «Αχ/Αν ακούγεις? Τραγουδάν», reconstructed same day 1:59, at which point I think Αν ακούγεις, τραγουδάν, / Να το τραγούδι" isn't half bad; «Να, η ωδή των θυμωμένων», same day 11:47; «Τραγουδάν, τ' ακούγεις 'σύ?, 8/3/23 11:45; «Των θυμωμένων την ωδή», 12/3/23 0:53; at which point my final choice is the below, where the diselision of 'sý and the thought of collapsing ούει into one syllable is from 1:07 12/3/23.」 The result is more or less the version below, just that ακούεις and Των θυμωμένων get Kika-fixed; OK, let me see the rest of the story… 13/3/23 1:38-1:50 I complete the first half of the chorus; 12:23-12:36 I complete the chorus, and within that day I have the final version with Kika's approval; verse 1 is from 20:59-21:46 on 16/3/23, and verse 2 is from right now :); specifically 0:15-0:34, with a long long process on the second half; man that final rhyme was so freaking hard…; I sent it to Kika that night, and the next morning she had one correction: Αχ, θα δώσεις τ' όλα εσύ -> Θα τα δώσεις όλα εσύ; 19/3/23 0:14 as I caption the video I make one last tweak: Και του θανάτου εσύ -> Του θανάτου σου εσύ.

That said, we can finally see the lyrics!

[Chorus]
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Will you be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
So join in the fight
That will give you the right
To be free!

[Chorus]

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows
Of France

[Chorus]

Mi fiesta

¿Un post en Español? ¿Qué? Bueno, hoy tenemos una canción Portuguesa, Minha festa, que da su título al post. La traducí al Español, al Griego, y al Siciliano, para ahora.

1. 「26/1/23 23:23-23:25 I quickly Spanishize this song. I then tweak it at 11:25 and 20:18 the next day, getting to [casi la versión abajo]. On 29/1/23 I make a couple more tweaks, specifically getting to «Y por eso yo canto así» for the last line at 16:09, and making the male-singer version of l. 3 at 17:32-33, «Yo soy otro hombre ahora!».」 (El 26/1/23 a las 23:23-23:25 Españolizo rápido esta canción. La modifico después a las 11:25 y 20:18 del día siguiente, llegando a [casi la versión abajo]. El 29/1/23 hago dos otras modifiquitas, specificamente llegando a «Y por eso yo canto así» [en lugar de «Es por eso que canto así»] para la última lína a las 16:09, y haciendo la versión para cantante hombre de la línea 3 a las 17:32-33, «Yo soy otro hombre ahora!»;
2. 「Right after the previous, 23:48-0:28, I do most of the Greek. The next morning and at about 20:10 I finish it, and sent Kika the following version on 28/1/23 at 1:47」 (Justo después de la precedente, a las 23:48-0:28, hago la mayor parte del Griego. La mañana siguiente y alrededor de las 20:10 la termino, y invio a la Kika la siguiente versión el 28/1/23 a las 1:47):
   
   Δόξα τω Θεώ,
   Η ζωή μου άλλαξε!
   Τι έκπληξη! Τι αλλαγή!
   Μου η θλίωη έπαυσε.
   Με σένα μάθηκα να γελώ…
   Πόσο έχω πάθει!
   Μα να κλαίω έχω παύσει!
   Μου κανόνισες μια γιορτή στην καρδιά,
   Κι εγώ τραγουδώ γι' αυτά!
   
   「After a couple tweaks the next morning, and Kika corrections the following afternoon, we land at」 (Después de unas modifiquitas de la mañana siguiente, y de las correcciones de la Kika de la tarde siguiente, llegamos a):
   
   Δόξα τω Θεώ,
   Η ζωή μου άλλαξε!
   Τι έκπληξη! Τι αλλαγή!
   Η θλίψη μου τέλειωσε.
   Με σέν’ έμαθα να γελώ…
   Αχ, πως έχω πάθει!
   Μα να κλαίω έχω παύσει!
   Μου έστησες μια γιορτή στην καρδιά,
   Κι έτσι εγώ τραγουδώ γι' αυτά!
   
   「On 29/1/23 at 15:11 I come up with «Τόσο έχω κλάψει, / Μα τώρ' έχω πάψει!», which keeps the crying, but goes back to overly formal pápsë… wait why did I undo this change? I probably just liked the above version better. I think I'll mention this one in the post, only in the intro.」(El 29/1/23 a las 15:11 me invento «Τόσο έχω κλάψει, / Μα τώρ' έχω πάψει!», que mantiene el llanto, pero se vuelve al demasiado formal πάψει… espera, ¿por qué anulé esta modífica? Probablemente sólo me gustaba más la versión arriba. Creo que voy a mencionar esta versión en el post, sólo en la introducción); el 25/2/23, mientras que me afeito, pienso de nuevo en esta traducción y su neutro plural αυτά sin buena justificación, y creo la versión «Μου στην καρδιά έστησες μια γιορτή, / Κι έτσι εγώ τραγουδώ γι' αυτή!» para substituir con esa la actual «Μου έστησες μια γιορτή στην καρδιά, / Κι έτσι εγώ τραγουδώ γι' αυτά!»; hablando de eso con Kika, es de acuerdo conmigo que así tiene más sentido, pero tiene que ser ajustada en «Στην καρδιά μου»; como así parece "kárdia" y no "kardiá", le pregunto qué puedo poner como monosílabo antes the στην, y así a las 17:00 más o menos llegamos a la versión abajo;
3. 「At 11:08 on 27/1/23, as I make tweaks for the "Thank God" reading of "Graças a Deus" (like Gracias a Dios -> Gracias al cielo and Χάρη στον Θεό -> see above), I think of doing the Sicilian, so as to keep the "passati remoti" instead of having to use "passati prossimi" in Italian, and do the first two lines. Then, at 19:53-19:57, I basically finish it, save for the Quem me viu line, which I do at 20:29. I then tweak «Grazzi ô çelu» to the below the next morning, and tweak «È pi chistu ca cantu cussì» to the below at 16:23 the next day, getting to」(A las 11:08 del 27/1/23, mientras que hago las modíficas para la lectura "Gracias al cielo" de "Graças a Deus" (como "Gracias a Dios" -> "Gracias al cielo" y Χάρη στον Θεό -> véase arriba), pienso de hacer el Siciliano, para mantener los "passati remoti" ~ pretéritos indefinidos en lugar de tener que utilizar "passati prossimi" ~ pretéritos perfectos en Italiano, y hago las dos primeras líneas. Después, a las 19:53-19:57, praticamente la término, fuera de la lína del «Quem me viu», que hago a las 20:29. Después mudo «Grazzi ô çelu» en la versión abajo la mañana siguiente, y mudo «È pi chistu ca cantu cussì» en la abajo a las 16:23 del día siguiente, llegando a) la version abajo; tiengo que decir que temo que los indefinidos de la versión Española sean un poquito forzados; a las 1:48 del 3/2/23, en bosquejar este post, eligo "suffriu" y no "pinau"; el 4/2/23 a las 22:46, habiendo casi terminado la preparación del vídeo de esta canción, pienso que "chiantu / 'i cu" sería mejor como "chiantu / Ṙi cu";
4. Como el Siciliano está sin compañero, le hago el Albanés el 16/3/23 a las 19:49-20:09, con «N' zemrën një festë m' ke organizu,» -> «N' zemrën një fest' ti m' ke organizu,» a las 14:38 del 17/3/23.

Con todo eso, ¡veamos la canción!

Maria Isabel

Oggi canzone spagnola, María Isabel, tradotta in Italiano. Al solito, sentiamo IAFI: 「28/9/22, as I roll over in bed, with the trio of La playa in mind, I randomly translate this one to Italian, in the phases: 2:51-2:53, 3:07-3:09, 3:31-3:48. Btw, I decide to have «Calienta el sol» once and «Caliente al sol» the other time in the chorus.」「Il 28/9/22, rigirandomi nel letto, col trio di La playa in mente, traduco a caso questa in Italiano, nelle [seguenti] fasi: 2:51-2:53, 3:07-3:09, 3:31-3:48. A proposito, decido di avere «Calienta el sol» una volta e «Caliente al sol» l'altra volta nel ritornello.」 L'ultima cosa la annullo nel registrare la canzone il 14/1/23, decidendo anche di cambiare «E subito lo cancellai» -> «E presto lo cancellai» (14:24), «Gelosa per i tuoi occhi / E il tuo modo di guardar» -> «Gelosa era dei tuoi occhi / E del tuo modo di guardar» (14:25) «il tuo nome io scrissi» -> «il tuo nome scrissi» (14:31), e di togliere la "E" ("Y") nel ritornello nonsenso. Peraltro non sono sicuro della fine della prima strofa: chi canta è il mare, o la pelle? Se fosse la seconda, possiamo fare «Che cantava con la mia chitarra» (14:42 14/1/23). Alle 19:06 del 14/1/23, mentre taglio il video, mi vien da pensare che stia meglio nella musica «Per non farlo calpestare / A nessuno mai», piuttosto che l'originale «Perché nessun calpestasse / Il tuo nome mai», e direi che è così quindi mo' lo implemento. Bon, vediamo 'sta canzone!

La playa estaba desierta El mar bañaba tu piel Cantando con mi guitarra Para ti, María Isabel (Dos veces) Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Chiribiribí, po pom pom pom (Cuatro veces) En la arena escribí tu nombre Y luego yo lo borré Para que nadie pisara Tu nombre, María Isabel (Dos veces) Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Chiribiribí, po pom pom pom (Cuatro veces) La luna fue caminando Junto a las olas del mar Tenía celos de tus ojos Y tu forma de mirar (Dos veces) Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Coge tu sombrero y póntelo Vamos a la playa, calienta el sol Chiribiribí, po pom pom pom (Cuatro veces)

La spiaggia era un deserto, Il mare bagnava sol te, Cantando con la mia chitarra Sol per te, María Isabel. (Due volte) Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Ciribiribì, po pom pom pom (Quattro volte) Nella sabbia il tuo nome scrissi E presto lo cancellai Per non farlo calpestare A nessuno mai, María Isabel (Due volte) Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Ciribiribì, po pom pom pom (Quattro volte) La luna andò via camminando Insieme alle onde del mar Gelosa era dei tuoi occhi E del tuo modo di guardar. (Due volte) Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Prendi il tuo sombrero e mettilo: Forza, andiamo in spiaggia, ci scalda il sol. Ciribiribì, po pom pom pom (Quattro volte)

Il nostro cuore

E oggi canzone italiana, Il nostro cuore non si è perduto, che ho tradotto in greco. Vediamo che dice IAFI: 「 On 4/12/22 at 15:59, having been asked the previous evening if I'd translated this and hearing this in the documentary about the meeting of CL with the Pope in (I think?) November, I translate 1.5 lines of it into Greek. I continue at 16:51, getting to 3 lines. I finish the thing at 22:06-22:24.
I have to note the fact that I misunderstood the lyrics upon hearing them, hearing «Ma il tuo sguardo» instead of «Mai il tuo sguardo», and thus ending up with Greek «Δεν την αγωνία, δεν τον πόνο, / Δεν τον φόβο και τον σπαθί, / Μα θα φεύγω το βλέμμα σου, / Και θ' αφήνω το σπίτι σου.». That is one of the things that got fixed by Kika corrections the following evening and night.」, ovvero 「Il 4/12/22 alle 15:59, essendomi stato chiesto la sera precedente se avessi tradotto questa canzone e sentendola nel documentario sull'udienza del papa con CL di (credo?) questo Novembre, traduco 1.5 righe dell'Italiano in Greco. Continuo alle 16:51, arrivando a tre righe. Finisco la cosa alle 22:05-22:24. [Notare che i primi pezzetti sono fatti durante un ritiro d'avvento, mentre il resto è fatto a casa di sera.] Devo notare il fatto che ho frainteso il testo sentendolo, sentendo «Ma il tuo sguardo» invece di «Mai il tuo sguardo», e quindi arrivando al Greco «Δεν την αγωνία, δεν τον πόνο, / Δεν τον φόβο και τον σπαθί, / Μα θα φεύγω το βλέμμα σου, / Και θ' αφήνω το σπίτι σου.». Questa è una delle cose aggiustata dalle correzioni della Kika la sera e la notte seguente.」.
Peraltro già alle 17:31 del 5/12 la Kika si era raccomandata di non fare θα 'ξυμνώ perché suona come θα ξυπνώ, quindi sveglierò invece di loderò, e io bravo genio l'ho aggiustato solo dopo la registrazione, 12:55 del 6/1/23.
7/1/23 15:34 cambio Δε χάθηκε, και in Χαθεί δεν έχει, sia per evitare la ripetizione -ke kä, sia per tenere lo stesso tempo del δεν έχουν χάσει.
Bon, allora vediamola!

Rit.
Il nostro cuore
Non si è perduto,
I nostri passi
Non hanno smarrito la tua strada.

Né l'angoscia, né il dolore,
La paura e la spada... Mai il tuo sguardo fuggirò,
La tua casa lascerò.

Rit.

Della morte, della vita,
Del presente e del futuro
La tua gente non ha paura,
La tua rocca sta sicura.

Rit.

Col mio canto, la mia gioia,
Con l'amore e le parole
La tua gloria loderò,
La tua forza griderò.

Rit.

Επωδός· Η καρδϊά μας Χαθεί δεν έχει, Τα βήματά μας Τον δρόμο σου δεν τον έχουν χάσει. Ούτ' απ’ την οδύνη ή απ' τον πόνο Ή απ' τον φόβο ή απ' το μαρτύριο Εγώ θα φύγω απ’ το βλέμμα σου Ή θ’αφήσω τον οίκο σου Επωδός Την ζωή και τον θάνατο, Το παρόν και το μέλλον, Δεν τα φοβάται ο λαός σου, Σίγουρο 'ναι τ' όχυρό σου. Επωδός Με την ωδή μου, τη χαρά μου, Την αγάπη και τις λέξεις Θα εξυμνώ τη δόξα σου Θα φωνάζω το κράτος σου! Επωδός

Mele Kalikimaka: a mere tweak

I don't think the song of today, namely Mele Kalikimaka, needs any intro, if not that it's literally the Hawaiian language adaptation of "Merry Christmas". Today we have a Latin version of it. The following has been sitting in IAFI ever since it was first posted in February, and has been lying around in my translation notes for over a year now. So at some point in August 2021 I listened to Scorpiō Mārtiānus's Latin version of Mele Kalikimaka and was like, what is this random Greek phrase in the middle of this Latin text? And why feminine? So on 26/8 at an unknown time between 2 and 2:29, I come up with the following fully Latin opening

Mele Kalikimaka tibi augurō/nūntiō
Havajānō djē Nātālītjō

I then do two lines of Wasurenaide Latin, and then leave this as is for 4 days. On 30/8 at 16:49 I take it out again and, through «... ita dīcō (perh. sīc dīcō)» (16:49), «ita dīcimus/dīcitur» (16:49, ditched because no rhyme), «tibi dīcō», I finally come to «tibi dīcō ego» (16:56), thus making the final Latin version:

Melē Kalīkīmākā tibi dīcō ego
Havajānō djē Nātālītjō

[Yeah, final until it's not. Not sure what made me think this was better, but "tibi auguro" sounds better to me now, 21/12/22 0:10, and is what I ended up writing in the text below and singing when I recorded this on 20/12/22 between 13 and 14, so that will be my final version.]
Then I think, maybe I should keep the Greek, but make it masculine instead of ἀγαθὴ φίλη. After all, mixing Latin and Greek isn't unknown in classical times. So sometime between 31/8 16:52 and 29/8 18:40, I think of ἀγαθὲ σὺ φίλε, which by those 16:52 turns into ἀγαθέ γε φίλε, this giving the two Greek alternatives:

Melē Kalīkīmākā, ἀγαθέ γε φίλε / ἀγαθὴ φίλη
Havajānō Nātālītjō djē

«mi amīce cāre» from 31/8/21 17:00 gets ditched because it doesn't rhyme.
This is where we leave IAFI, and come to the present, where there is just one thing: misremembering this, I sang «Diesque perfelices» in the closing, but it's actually «Diesque tam felices». I like my version better, so at 21:25 on 19/12/22 I decide to implement it, and at 21:26 I limit this to the below pure Latin version. Yes, I will be giving three versions below: original with female addressee, mixed with Greek and with male addressee, and pure Latin with ungendered addressee. Also, as I typed in the lyrics below, the whole song is to a "tu", and suddenly the closing is "vōbīs", that makes no sense, so I'll switch it to "tibī" in my version.
Wow, I always knew the lyrics wrong! I thought it was "great and bright" and "is a wise way"!
Let's see this!

Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day That's the island greeting that we send to you From the land where palm trees sway Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way To say Merry Christmas to you Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way To say Merry Christmas, a very merry Christmas, A very merry merry merry Christmas to you
