![Do Re Mi (One-Line Multilanguage) – The Sound of Music
There arent many dubs of The Sound of Music, but to my knowledge, no one has ever done a multilanguage of them! Besides, this song is REALLY interesting to read the translations of.
Since the lyrics are so full of hard-to-translate puns, Ill explain some of them here:
0:45 Mi is a prefix that means mid- or half-.
1:11 Donau (a river with nau) is the German name for the Danube, a river flowing through Central Europe.
1:18 This is referring to the German dialect thats spoken in Bavaria and the part of Austria where this movie takes place. People say mi instead of the proper German form of mich.
2:21 In Japanese, R and L are pronounced the same. Japanese speakers have a really hard time differentiating between those sounds. So, thats why you see Re, like in Lemon and RA instead of LA.
3:03 This line is referring to a game like the English game of pulling petals off a flower and saying, he loves me, he loves me not until all the petals are gone and on the last petal you find out if the person loves you or not.
3:20 Don is a title like Mr. that is mostly used for older men.
3:28 Id love a native Spanish speakers interpretation of this line. Does it make sense to you? It seems nonsensical to me because res (cows, livestock, cattle however you want to translate it) arent jungle or forest creatures. Maybe Im misunderstanding one of the words?
3:45 La is one of the definite articles in Spanish, so it goes before a noun.
Dubs of The Sound of Music:
If youre aware of a dub thats not listed here (even if its just a TV dub), please let me know! However, Im only interested in dubs of the MOVIE. I know theres 1000 versions of the musical out there. Also, correct any information thats wrong.
