I'm sure with that title you all already know what song we're dealing with today :). And yes, it is indeed Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, by the Beatles, which I translated to Greek, Albanian, Italian, and the chorus to French too, will complete it eventually. Let's hear IAFI on all this:
- In the evening of 1/2/22, I randomly have Papaveri e papere Greek version and Obladi Oblada on my mind, and I think «Έτσι, άστα!» could be a good rendering of «Life goes on, bra!», so by 18:18 I finish the chorus:
Οβλαντί, οβλαντά,
Έτσι, άσ' τα!
Έτσι η ζωή, λα-λα!
Putting this here, I realize it should have been Ομπλαντί Ομπλαντά. It's 11:36. 3/2/22 2:27 I add ë́n' to l. 3, thus getting:
Ο-μπλα-ντί, ο-μπλα-ντά,
Έτσι, άσ' τα!
Έτσ' είν' η ζωή, λα-λα!
3/2/22 15:46 I translate the line «Take O-bla-di-bla-da» into Πάρ' Ο-μπλα-ντί-μλα-ντά».
22/8/22 I want to send this to Kika but only the chorus is too little, so at 18:04-18:14 I do verse 1. Kika then exhorts me to finish it, so since I'm unwilling to work I finish it, 19:36-20:16. After a couple Kika corrections, at 22:23 that evening, I have the below version, modulo a change from the following day fixing "Ο Ντέσμοντ λέει στην Μόλλυ" at 18:03, and one at 20:19 of 3/9/22 fixing «Το βράδυ αυτή, να, στο συγκρότημα τραγουδά» to «Το βράδυ αυτή ακόμη στο συγκρότημα τραγουδά» first and to the below afterwards:
and so far the IAFI version is current, and is the one that will be recorded tomorrow. The only thing is that the choice between Φορά στο σπίτι η Μόλλυ λίγο μακιγιάζ and Η Μόλλυ μακιγιάρεται στο σπίτι, να, is from 14:39 on 29/9/23. - Around 22:40 on 2/2/22, I start an Albanian translation, doing the chorus and «Këndo Obladi-blada!». As I ready the intertwining you see below, I realize it's "take", not "sing", so I fix it to merr in the afternoon of 3/2/22.
On 23/1/23, in a moment when I'm especially not feeling like working, I take this up again, and finally complete it 18:57-20:08, putting everything together the next day, with a tweak at 15:29.
Here we instead have a change. I tried to sing verse 1, and thought «Dhe Molly, tu marr' dor'n e tij, thot' kështu» would fit better with "dorën e tij". That was 14:16(?) on 29/9/23. - 22/8/22 19:35 I translate the first two lines of verse 1 of this, and recover the translation of the chorus from the Italian version. At 13:44-45 on 5/9/22, I do part of the "couple of years" section. As I add that here, on 7/9/22 at 0:08, I change "un banchetto ha" to "un banchetto ci ha" in l. 1. At 0:10, I think of «Prendi Ob-la-di-bla-da» and then «Vai di O-bla-di-bla-da», and at 0:12 I think of «Per divertirti un po'». So now we make an intertwining:
Then, on 5/10/22, for some reason I decide to stop working and continue this, and at 22:57-23:00 and 23:25-23:39 I do verse 1, then at 23:41-23:47 I complete the below version:
And that is it for now. - On 26/10/22, thinking of, and perhaps singing, the Greek version, I map Greek ás' ta to French Ne t'en fais pas, and at 19:18 end up with:
Obladi Oblada
Ne t'en fais pas!
La-la, la vie c'est comme ça.
I then also translate the last two lines, in swapped order, at 0:16 the following night:
Pour t'amuser un peu,
Prends Obladi-blada.
And that's all for now.
- First, I realize it's yard not home, so I fix Που στο σπίτι τρέχουν / Το της οικογένειας Δζόνζ» at 11:59…
- …«që vrapojn' në sht'pin'» at 11:59…
- …and «Per la casa» at 12:01;
- Finally, since Google says it's tregún not trégun, I change «në tregun ka» at 13:44…
- And since it also says gardhín not gárdhin, «në gardhin» gets its elision.
