O1ivette'I See the Light' from Disney's Tangled in Classical Latin (film version). English, French & Italian translations in description
I don't own Tangled or any music from the film. This video is for educational & entertainment purposes only, no copyright infringement is intended. All rights reserved by Disney.
I decided a while ago to rewrite the words to some of my older videos. I hadn't actually done the film version of this one, so here it is! Doubly sorry about the singing. This is dedicated to charguigou who was 18 on 2nd September! Joyeux anniversaire :)
The new words are based on the Italian version. The pronunciation is classical. I've tried to write Flynn's verse so that the language changes gradually from prose to poetic. 'perago coepta fragilia' could go either way, a bit more towards prose, but it starts to become poetic because it's unclear - it could mean 'I have now started something fragile and I mean to see it through', or 'the brittle things I started before, I'll now get rid of them'. Meanwhile, 'visa illa splendent lumina' is extremely poetic - 'lumina' means 'lights' but in poetry it means 'eyes', so the sentence literally means 'as I see her, the lights are shining' but poetically it means 'my eyes light up when I see her'. And it's still a loose translation of the Italian ('thanks to her, I open my eyes too').

Latin lyrics by O1ivette Story: the legend of the foundation of Rome and its implementation under the founders of the Julio-Claudian dynasty (46 BC to AD 19)
Adapted from: Virgil, ‘Eclogue 4’, published in the 30s BC; Jupiter's Prophecy from 'Aeneid I' and the Pageant of Rome from ‘Aeneid VI’, published posthumously c. 18 BC; Horace, ‘Carmen Saeculare’ (Generation Hymn), performed at Augustus’ Generation Games in 17 BC; Ovid, ‘Fasti’ (The Days), published c. AD 15
hoc carmen compositum ex libris caris dono magistris rerum Romanarum, qui me docuerunt latine scripta acriter legere, tum etiam minime placita nihilominus diligenter perlegere, denique etiam maxime placita pro hac ipsa re in discrimen adducere.Frozen - Nive Signa Statuamus (Do You Want to Build a Snowman? - CLASSICAL LATIN)O1ivette2014-06-08 | 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' dubbed in Classical Latin.

To see the subtitles, click the CC menu (between the clock & cog) and select your language! English (UK) = a translation of the Latin lyrics into English. English (US) = the original lyrics for comparison. Captions in all other languages are translations of the Latin.
The Latin in this song is based on two poems about losing a sibling, Catullus' Poem 68, and the 'Lament for Drusus the Elder' which is dubiously attributed to Ovid. When Anna says 'ave, Camilla' she is addressing the Latin princess Camilla from Vergil's 'Aeneid'. Elsa is named 'Elissa' after Queen Elissa (Dido) of Carthage, whose sister was called Anna Perenna. The title of the film at the top, 'Immota', means 'frozen' in the sense 'unmoving' or 'unmoved'. I felt this was the best way to get the sense across. It can mean 'unmoved' literally or in the emotional sense. It is also the word applied to the period of history on which I have based all the songs, by the historian Tacitus.
Latin lyrics are below.
I hope you enjoy! :D

I was asked to make a spoken dub, preferably of a villain... This video came out so I thought I'd take the opportunity! I'll do a longer one soon when I've finished my university term. If you have any requests for spoken scenes (preferably with only female characters; I'll dub male characters, but it doesn't sound very good :P), please let me know!!
As you can imagine, I had no trouble dubbing Aurora ;) Maleficent on the other hand... I don't sound very evil at all. You have no idea how hard it was trying to lower my voice and speak evilly in a foreign language... I did my best though. Please excuse my accent and acting: I am not Italian, and I'm not an actress. I'm English and I'm a translator.
The Ancient Romans (at least of the period I study) didn't have godmothers, it being a Christian role, so I decided to translate the word by 'genius', which means 'familiar spirit' - a cross between a genie, a guardian angel and something a bit like a daemon in 'Northern Lights'.

Notate Bene:
1. I cannot sing. This was very difficult to sing and it sounds rather strained in places, but I think the overall effect of a spoken dialogue set to music is preserved. Je chante très mal ! Cette chanson est très difficile à chanter et ma voix est plutôt tendue de temps en temps mais je crois avoir conservé l'effet général, c'est-à-dire d'un dialogue avec mélodie. Canto molto male! Questa canzone è difficile da cantare e la mia voce è piuttosto stressata ma credo di aver conservato l'effetto generale d'un dialogo con melodia. Τραγουδώ πολύ κακώς! Αυτό το τραγούδι ήταν πολύ δύσκολο να το τραγουδήσω, και η φωνή μου είναι τεταμένη σε μερικούς τόπους, αλλά νομίζω ότι έχω διασώσει την εντύπωση ένος διάλογου με μουσική.
2. This is my first video with Adobe Premiere (iMovie doesn't allow multiple subtitles; and moreover, the new iMovie doesn't seem to allow you to edit the subtitle font) - I hope you like it... Celle-ci est ma première vidéo avec Adobe Premiere (iMovie ne permet pas de mettre plus d'un sous-titre ; d'ailleurs la nouvelle version ne semble pas non plus me permettre de changer la police des sous-titres) - j'espère qu'elle vous plaira... Questa è la mia prima video con Adobe Premiere (iMovie non mi lasciava mettere più di un sottotitolo; inoltre, la nuova versione non sembra offrire neanche la capacità di cambiare font) - spero vi piaccia... Αυτό είναι το πρώτο μου βίντεο με το Αντώμπι Πρέμιερ (Adobe Premiere) (iMovie δεν μ' αφήνει να βάσω πολλόυς υποτίτλους, επιπλέον, η καινούργια έκδοση δεν αφήνει να αλλάξεται η γραμματοσειρά) - ελπίζω να σας αρέσει...
3. For obvious reasons, this is difficult to caption. I have tried my best but I've also done a line-by-line translation that you can read here: http://lux.livelatin.org/2014/01/02/soleclariorreprise Évidemment, il a été difficile de mettre les sous-titres en langues modernes... J'ai fait de mon mieux. J'ai écrit une traduction anglaise, vers par vers ; si vous aimeriez que je la traduise en français, faites-moi savoir ! Va di sé che è stato difficile inserire sottotitoli in lingue moderne. Ho fatto del mio meglio ma ho scritto anche una traduzione verso dopo verso, in inglese. Se vorreste che lo traduca in inglese, fatemi sapere! Για προφανές λόγους, ήταν δύσκολο να βάσω υποτίτλους σε σύγχρονες γλώσσες. Έκανα ο,τι μπόρεσα αλλά έχω κάνει και μια μετάφραση στίχο με τον στίχο, στα αγγλικά. Αν θέλετε να την μεταφράσω στα ελληνικά, παρακαλώ να ρωτήστε!

The ultimate achievement in Latin literature was to reference earlier authors' work in innovative fashion, composing in such a way that the words could be relevant to two situations linked by genre, subject or theme, in order to illuminate both.
I wrote my version of this song before the film was released, using the song and the trailers, so I was free to imagine a lot myself. That means that this translation is very different from most people's interpretation of the song. It is not about leaving behind right and wrong; it is about the struggle to do what is objectively right when everyone else is trying to create their own right and wrong, and how succumbing to pride, even for the best reasons, can have terrible consequences.
Specifically I was inspired by an historical narrative which I particularly care about (understatement): the self-imposed exile of the second Roman emperor Tiberius, a stern, old-fashioned scholar and soldier who was never comfortable in his position (on principle or in practice) and was disliked by the people because he was strict and awkward, but nonetheless ruled as well as he could. After about 10 years as emperor (following 30 as Rome's greatest general) Tiberius retired to an island with his books. He kept up his administration of the provinces but hoped the senate would take care of affairs in Rome as it had done traditionally. In fact, chaos erupted, concealed from Tiberius by his scheming advisor Sejanus. Much as Elsa doesn't realise that her flight triggered an eternal winter, Tiberius didn't realise that by intervening to stop adulation of the emperor, he was doing what he dreaded: acting as emperor.
The wording is inspired mainly by Tacitus and Suetonius, who both wrote about Tiberius' reign. Suetonius' biography is an anthology of quotations, trivia and rumours. Tacitus' 'Annals of Imperial Rome' is a masterpiece, which tells the truth but uses wording to distort it. Combining these with the orator Cicero and poets Catullus & Lucretius, I hope to bridge the gap between historical & literary scholarship. Literary scholars can fail to realise that many of the horrendous stories about the emperors are nasty inventions, inspired by classic fables. Historians dismiss this sort of thing, but they scrutinise historical texts, comparing them to each other to produce the most accurate textbook version, and sometimes lose sight of the narrative aspect - in this case the mesmerising, almost poetic language of Tacitus, and how powerful and moving a text the 'Annals' is to read simply for entertainment. After all, it is (I think) the most lethally enduring character study in history.
The other songs focus on the relationship between Tiberius and his beloved younger brother Drusus whose early death devastated him. Together the style and references make 'Frozen' a Disney version of the legend of Castor and Pollux, who were guardians of freedom and whom Tiberius and Drusus adopted as their symbols. I'm very proud of the result!
2014 marks 2000 years since the death of Augustus and accession of Tiberius. I hope that this song does justice to both of them. Most history books - and celebrations this year - focus on Augustus, either ignoring or criticising Tiberius (which, since Tacitus chose to start with Tiberius, is a very strange error). Giving more attention to Tiberius, an equally capable ruler and equally fascinating individual, also (I hope) does something to shake away the centuries-old lie about Augustus: that he was a ruthless despot who aimed at monarchy from the beginning and disguised this by his charm and propaganda. Augustus was unpredictable and full of himself, but he was no tyrant; Tiberius was haughty and dismissive, but he was no monster. They both wanted, in their different ways, to protect the traditional structure of Rome - it was the Roman people who could not sustain it.
This is my love letter to history; I hope that it conveys some of the inscrutable grandeur, dignity and anguish of the original Latin sources, and that it inspires you to write your own - hae pulcherrimae effigies et mansurae!Frozen - Vita Sole Clarior (For the First Time in Forever - CLASSICAL LATIN)O1ivette2013-12-22 | 'For the First Time in Forever' from Disney's 'Frozen', in Classical Latin.

This song is an extended study in literary allusion XD. It was exceptionally difficult to translate - the lyrics don't lend themselves well to Latin at all - so I'm very pleased with the result! Anna's words are based on Catullus, and Elsa's on Tacitus - both authors outside the 'Golden Age' of literature, so we're branching out a bit! For more information on the translation, go here (I recommend you listen to the song by itself first): http://lux.livelatin.org/2013/12/22/soleclarior Les paroles de cette chanson sont tirées des vers de Catulle (pour Anna) et des Annales de Tacite (pour Elsa). Au lien ci-dessus j'ai expliqué toutes les allusions ; si vous aimeriez que je traduise les explications en français, n'hésitez pas à me le demander ! Le parole di questa canzone sono state ispirate dai versi di Catullo (per Anna) e dagli Annali di Tacito (per Elsa). Al sito qui sopra, ho spiegato tutte le allusioni; se vi piacerebbe leggere le spiegazioni in italiano, non esitate a chiedere una traduzione! Τους στίχους αυτού του τραγουδίου τους εμπνήσαν τα ποιήματα του Κατούλλου (για την Άννα) και τα Χρονικά του Τάκιτου (για την Έλσα). Σε εκείνη τη σελίδα έχω εξηγήσει τις αναφορές. Αν θέλετε να μετάφρασω το κείμενο στα ελληνικά, παρακαλώ να ρωτήστε! (Συγγνώμη για τα λάθη μου, μαθαίνω ελληνικά μόνο εννιά μήνες!)
Sorry about my voice, as ever. And I'm sorry about the video, but I wanted to upload 'Let it Go' and it references this song, so this one had to go up first, and this is the best quality I could find. I hope you enjoy it!
NB The instrumental is the official one, which I bought from Amazon MP3 Store. Please PM me if you'd like me to send it to you! :)The Prince of Egypt - Plagae (The Plagues - CLASSICAL/BIBLICAL LATIN)O1ivette2013-10-04 | 'The Plagues' from Dreamworks' 'The Prince of Egypt' in Latin (choruses in Biblical Hebrew with Biblical Latin subtitles; Moses & Rameses dubbed in Classical Latin).

The captions cover the Latin subtitles if you watch this on the main page, but if you increase it to full screen then you'll be able to see both.
I had to mix the English instrumental and Hebrew audio together so it may sound odd in places and at one point it skips slightly (although the video skips with it) but that's not the point, the point is the translation XD. I'm sorry about my singing (as ever!); I hope you enjoy nonetheless. Thanks so much to PrinsenAvEgypten for the video and instrumental!

Read description!
I wouldn't go as far as to say this is Ecclesiastical Latin, since the pronunciation, elisions and elements of the style are still classical, but I chose to follow Exodus myself rather than relying on the fact that the song is itself following Exodus, so the words of the chorus are, almost entirely, taken directly from the Vulgate Bible and shifted around. In several cases words are used that wouldn't be used if I'd done it classically.
The solos, meanwhile, I wrote myself, so they're certainly not Ecclesiastical Latin, but for once I wrote them spontaneously rather than trying to evoke any literature or do any tricks. More than the artificial exercise of producing a text that imitates classical authors, I think this shows Latin's viability as a language of communication.
So: the choruses are sung in Hebrew, with Latin subtitles adapted from the Biblia Sacra Vulgata. The solo parts (Yocheved, Miriam, and the queen's spoken lines) are all my own voice (it's awful, I know, I'm sorry) and translated in more or less my own style of writing Latin. Thanks so much to PrinsenAvEgypten for the video & instrumental :)

Αυτό το βίντεο έχει την προφορά του Εράσμου. Σας παρακαλώ να μην λέτε ότι είναι λάθος ή ασεβής. Αν θέλεις να καταγράψω αυτό το τραγούδι με τη σύγχρονη προφορά, ρωτήστε. Μεταφράσα τους στίχους μόνη μου για πρώτη φορά! (Συνήθως βάζω το Google, τότε διορθώνω, αλλά αυτή την φορά έβαζα μόνο το λεξικό.) Γι' αυτό, παρακαλώ να συγχωρήσετε τα λάθη μου.
I pored over my lexicon trying to find words that would fit the melody (pitch accent, innit); please forgive me if I muddled a few - it's so hard to do, especially when it clashes with the stress accent! I also find it very hard to sing with Attic pronunciation AND a Greek accent so this probably sounds atrocious. Back to normal then, since the last three videos were a marginal improvement XD.
Despite the difficulties, I'm super duper pleased with how this turned out. I forgot how much I love Ancient Greek. It has one single word that means 'grin like an animal' - how fantastic is that?! I hope you enjoy the translation; behind-the-scenes blog post to come :)The Prince of Egypt - When You Believe - Greek [Biblical and Modern]O1ivette2013-09-12 | 'When You Believe' from Dreamworks' 'The Prince of Egypt' translated and dubbed in Ancient (Koine) Greek. Lyrics on video; translations (English, Greek, French, Italian) in captions.
NOTATE BENE. This is the language as it was written in the Bible. The lyrics are translated from the MODERN GREEK and imitate it as closely as possible. This means that in a lot of cases it will NOT sound like the Attic Greek of Plato: the vocabulary, accentuation and pronunciation are different.
I get no credit for inventive lyrics here, because the lyrics are pretty much identical to the official Modern Greek version, for anyone who still doesn't think they're the same language! But I'm pleased with the execution :)
NOTATE BENE 2: γίνεται (ginetai) in the chorus is the Ionic spelling of the verb. Well, I may say that now, but I get no credit for creative dialect choice either, because I only found it out afterwards; I would have put the Attic spelling γίγνεται (gignetai), only I got confused because Modern Greek drops the second γ. Hey, I was planning to redo it if it wasn't a real spelling... ;)The Prince of Egypt - Mira Fides (When You Believe - CLASSICAL LATIN)O1ivette2013-09-11 | 'When You Believe' from Dreamworks' 'The Prince of Egypt', translated and dubbed in Classical Latin. Translations (English, Hebrew, French, Italian, Greek) in captions.
The Hebrew verse sung by the children, from Exodus 15, is retained in every foreign language. I have subtitled it in italics with the appropriate text of the Latin Vulgate Bible. The captions include the verses taken from the Bible in that language. The Hebrew verses are in Biblical Hebrew, not modern, so they might not show up properly.
For the repeated chorus at the end I had to leave the vocals, in one language or another, since I couldn't sing over the backing; I thought keeping the Hebrew was quite a nice way to draw attention to the fact that this is a dubbing and that Hebrew was the language they'd have been speaking.
I've said it time and time again but for such a wonderful song I think it needs saying again: I CAN'T SING XD. I hope you enjoy the translation nonetheless. I can't remember who requested this, but I hope you like it! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it (the song, I don't mean my version of it...). It was challenging, but a joy to translate.
Thanks so much to 3124maison for translating the lyrics into Hebrew; PrinsenAvEgypten for the instrumental; and charguigou for the clip!Pocahontas - Sicut Aurae Varia (Colors of the Wind - CLASSICAL LATIN)O1ivette2013-09-06 | 'Colors of the Wind' from Disney's Pocahontas, translated and dubbed in Classical Latin.

Watch in HD :)
Woo, something new! I've been asked several times if I've done this one. I've held off because I was finding it very difficult to translate (the rhythm and melody aren't the easiest to fit to Latin words), but now it's finally done, and it was SO MUCH FUN.
The title means 'Men, even you' (it's a bit lost in translation unless you insert a verb e.g. 'Even You can be Men'). From a Latinist's point of view, I could have been a lot stronger (and thereby offensive) with the invective but I decided to try to be inveNtive instead (SORRY). As well as a Monty Python reference (admittedly very esoteric but I have told you now so you can't miss it) I have paraphrased briefly Livy, Persius and Terence (incongruous perhaps, but most of this song is more about faffing around than it is about war).
I know I'm not a man, but considering the plot of this film I'd say that doesn't matter! I am, however, a useless singer. I hope that doesn't impede the sentiment too much. It could be worse (I could be tone deaf, or a soprano).
It's impossible to remove the choruses of 'be a man' near the end from the audio, at least with my technology, so I decided to leave it, and put a literal Latin translation in the subtitles, so you get an inkling of what adapting the words to the music is like.
Dedicated to my condiscipuli who are sitting exams at the moment. GOOD LUCK, GUYS!

I think Greek is quite rare on here, among non-Greeks, as far as modern European languages go. I've also observed that people think Ancient & Modern Greek are very different... so this video is an attempt to address both those issues. Νομίζω ότι λίγοι άνθρωποι εδώ μιλούν ελληνικά εκτός από τους Έλληνες. Επίσης, πολλοί άνθρωποι πιστεύουν ότι η αρχαία και νέα ελληνικά είναι πολύ διαφορετικές. Συνεπώς, έκανα αυτό το βίντεο!

(et gratias ago filiae Ambrosiae quae pro illepido ponto marique proposuerit 'pelagum' quo 'sea' vertam XD)
*deep breath* This was SO HARD TO DO XD. I've probably completely MURDERED the song - my voice is awful at the best of times, but it's even less suited to jazz than it is to pop and theatre. I soon lost hope of maintaining anything vaguely resembling a Roman accent or expressiveness! But that's not the point, right? ;) I'm proud of the translation as there were some tricky parts (not to mention the fish names! ARGH). Aaaanyway, I hope you enjoy it, apart from the singing, obviously. If all else fails (which it almost does), it's in tune. Just about.
Today is the end of the Roman festival of Saturnalia, and traditionally the day for gifts. HAPPY SATURNALIA everyone!Brave - Touch the Sky (Film Version) - Classical LatinO1ivette2012-12-13 | 'Touch the Sky' film clip (including spoken intro) from Disney/Pixar's 'Brave', dubbed in Classical Latin. Subtitles on video; English, French, Italian, Greek translations in captions.
I've already dubbed this song but I wanted to redo it with the clip. I've tried to make it as 'authentic' a film version as possible, with the subtitles in capital letters and with U as V (as that was how the Romans wrote), so now you can watch it with just the Latin and try to work out what it means, or with English/French/Italian/Greek subtitles. Please excuse my singing (and English accent). Enjoy :)
The film title is 'Audax' (Brave) and the song is 'Super Astra' (Beyond the Stars). The lyrics (vocabulary, syntax) are based on Vergil's Aeneid, the national epic of Rome.
Specific references: 'I'll unroll the scrolls of fate' - Jupiter to Venus in Book 1 'fateful wood where gales rage' - the cave of the winds 'black pools' - the underworld 'golden age' - refers back to the peaceful reign of Saturn, which the Emperor Augustus (who commissioned the poem) hoped to recreate 'I'll seize my fate from the urn' - the urns of fate in the underworld; phrase also used to describe elections 'beyond the stars' - 'the Roman Empire will stretch beyond the stars', Book 6 pride of the eagle - the eagle was Rome's national symbol and military standard, and pride a signature characteristic of the Claudians (half of the Julio-Claudian imperial dynasty)Tangled - Birthday Wish (Classical Latin)O1ivette2012-12-11 | Rapunzel works up the courage to ask to leave her tower.

This song is very poetic therefore the Italian lyrics use words that are, generally, derived directly from Classical Latin (as opposed to Vulgar Latin). So I thought I'd make this video for students of Italian and/or Latin, and for Italian students of Latin, to show how similar the languages are. I have used the pronunciation of Italian, without elisions (as there are none when it is sung in the Catholic Church). Enjoy :)
Questo brano è molto poetico, e le parole italiane derivano, in generale, direttamente dal latino classico (invece del volgare). Quindi ho deciso di fare questa video per gli studenti dell'italiano e/o del latino, e per gli studenti italiani del latino, per mostrare a qual punto le lingue si assomiglino. Ho usato la pronuncia dell'italiano senza elisioni (perché non ce ne sono quando si canta in latino nella Chiesa Cattolica). NB: scusatemi se mi sono sbagliata con la pronuncia! Le vocali italiane son difficili per gli inglesi.

J'adore Mumford & Sons (je vais les voir à Paris en mars!) et j'adore Disney (comme vous savez) et comme j'ai vu certains d'entre vous exprimer de la déception à cause du fait qu'on n'ait pas doublé cette chanson, je m'y suis attaquée moi-même. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le groupe, ceci est une adaptation de leur chanson 'Not With Haste' tirée de l'album 'Babel'. Attention : 1) JE SUIS TRADUCTRICE, JE NE SUIS PAS CHANTEUSE. Je ne sais pas chanter DU TOUT, je ne mérite même pas de chanter la même chanson qu'une chanteuse si merveilleuse que Birdy, etc, etc. Pas la peine de me le dire, je le sais déjà. Je m'excuse auprès de vos oreilles :P 2) Si j'ai écorché des mots, c'est parce que je suis anglaise et je n'ai jamais habité en France ;)

I've dubbed this song before, but it was a long time ago. I hadn't read much poetry, I knew nothing about ictus and accent, and it was generally quite awful. I'm not sure many people will notice the details but hopefully you'll be able to tell that it sounds better (not the singing; that's still awful).

Αυτό το τραγούδι είναι το αγαπημένο μου. Έτσι κάνω δύο εκδόσεις. Θέλω να αντιμετωπίσω ένα πρόβλημα ότι τα βίντεο μου προκάλεσαν. Στη Βρετανία και στην Ελλάδα, μαθαίνουμε τα αρχαία ελληνικά με διαφορετικούς τρόπους. Είμαι θλιβερή γιατί δεν μοιραζόμαστε τη γνώση μας. Είμαι αγγλική και οι καθηγητές μου μου είπε ότι η Νέα Ελληνική δεν είναι η ίδια γλώσσα. Αυτό είναι λάθος, και εγώ ντρέπομαι. Αλλά κάποιοι Έλληνες έλεγαν ότι ήμουν ασεβής, γιατί τραγούδησα με τη βρετανική προφορά. Και αυτό είναι λάθος. Γιατί περιφρονεί ο ένας τον άλλον; Πριν, δεν είπα τη γνώμη μου.

This is my favourite Disney song. I decided to make two versions to address a dispute that some of my videos have caused. Ancient Greek is learned in Greece and Britain very differently. I'm English and I always thought that the modern language was totally different. I've recently discovered that this isn't true, and I felt duped and embarrassed. However, I was equally dismayed by the fact that some Greek people called me disrespectful to Greece because I used the British pronunciation. Why this mutual scorn?! I've never previously made a statement about pronunciation, but here I'd like to state that BOTH WAYS ARE CORRECT. This version uses the pronunciation used in Modern Greece. It's almost incomprehensible to British people because several vowels & diphthongs are conflated into one sound, 'i' (this is called 'iotacism'). However, the Bible is written in Ancient Greek, in a dialect called Koine, WITH THIS PRONUNCIATION. It's possible that this dialect was around as early as Attic, but we don't know. In this version of the song, I used the lyrics from the Modern Greek version that I found easiest to render into Ancient Greek. This is to prove that it's THE SAME LANGUAGE. Of course it has changed in some ways - but we don't speak like Shakespeare, do we?

I don't own Brave or any of the music from the film. This video is intended for educational purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. I consider this video to be fair use; if you disagree please let me know.
This is one of the rare cases where I have had to make a linguistic decision that greatly affects the meaning of the lyrics. To me, this song is clearly about the relationship between Merida and her mother, but because of the wording, and the nature of the English language ('this love...'), it could just as easily be a love song. However, I struggled to how to produce that effect in Latin. 'amor', the standard word for 'love', does mean both 'parent-child love' or 'romantic love'. But in the context, I find it implies sexual love because it is almost personified, and Amor personified is Cupid (counterpart of the Greek Eros, which means exclusively romantic love). Therefore, I chose the word 'pietas', firstly because it expresses 'parent-child devotion' concretely in one word, and secondly because it was one of the most important Roman ideals (it's the driving force of the Aeneid), and I thought it would be nice to get it into a song, especially as linguistically the songs are based on the style of the Aeneid. I've left it as 'amore' later on in the song as the nature has been clear and it's no longer personified.
As usual, I can't sing, but I hope you enjoy.
longinqua stella est pietas qui nobis ostendat sedes nostras sol candidus est pietas qui semper illuminat fata nostra cotidie tecum loquabar sed verba in tenuem fugiunt auram isti muri forte cadent volo sentire solem inter pedes et si possimus ex carcere isto volare liberi? itane cur patimur? quondam temptatis adhuc caremus. occasu solis quid moliamur quo somnia permansura speremus? isti muri tandem cadunt solem sentio accendere caelum ita possumus amore nostro volare liberi
Love is a distant star That shows us our home Love is a burning sun That always shines a light on our fate Every day I tried to speak to you But the words flee into thin air These walls will by chance fall down I want to feel the ground* between my feet What if we could fly freely* out of this prison? Why do we suffer so? We still miss what we once tried. At sunset what should we build So that we might hope that our dreams will last? These walls are finally falling down I feel the sun lighting up the sky This is how with our love we will be able to fly freely. Love is a burning sun.
* 'the ground' - the Latin reads as 'sentire sol' inter pedes'. If I were to hear these lyrics and try to write them down, I would have to supply the full word 'sol', as it is elided (that is, the end syllable is not pronounced). It could be 'solem' (sun) or 'solum' (ground). I chose 'ground' for the translation but I deliberately worded it like this so it could be either, especially because it is revealed to be 'sun' later, in the second chorus. * 'freely' - the Latin word, 'liberi', can also mean 'children', so the sentence could mean, 'like when we were children' or 'as though we were children' (this is intended to imply childhood innocence).Disney Pixars Brave - Είς τό Άπτειν Ουρανόν / Touch the Sky - ANCIENT GREEKO1ivette2012-08-11 | 'Touch the Sky' from 'Brave' in Ancient Greek with Greek & English subtitles / «Τώρα αγγίζω ουρανό» από "Brave" στην Αρχαία Ελληνική με υπότιτλους στα ελληνικά & αγγλικά.

I've attempted to imitate the style of Vergil, whose last work, the 'Aeneid', was the national epic of Rome. The 'aquila' (eagle) was the symbol of the Roman army. Jupiter, king of the gods, can personify the sky in Latin poetry. The 'Golden Age' refers to the world as it was ruled by Saturn, father of Jupiter; the Emperor Augustus (who commissioned the 'Aeneid') was hailed as restoring the Golden Age and extending the Roman Empire beyond the stars. The word I have used for 'fate' can also mean 'lot'. Some Roman elections were conducted by lot, a process by which names were shaken out of an urn; in the Underworld, souls' fates were decided by the same method. Hence 'I will seize my fate from the urn' is intended to mean 'I will choose my fate myself'.

English: When the winds of winter are blowing and Jupiter is smiling Behold, a song risen from the mountain will lead me away into the light There I will fly in the sky through the winds up to the stars No, wait, I'll fly beyond the stars In the fateful wood where gales rage over the mountains black pools recount to me that there was once a golden age As in the tales I have been told, I will seize my fate from the urn I'll have the strength of a storm and the pride of an eagle And I will fly in the sky through the winds up to the stars No, wait, I'll fly beyond the stars I will fly through the winds that blow me on, I will fly
Français : Quand les vents d'hiver soufflent et Jupiter sourit Voici une chanson sortie de la montagne me pousse vers la lumière Ainsi je volerai dans le ciel, jusqu'aux étoiles à travers le vent Et encore, je volerai au delà des étoiles Dans le bois fatal où les rafales sévissent en dessus des montagnes Des étangs noirs me racontent qu'il y eut jadis un âge d'or Comme dans les histoires qu'on m'a récitées, je tirai mon destin de l'urne J'aurai la force de la tempête et l'orgueil de l'aigle Ainsi je volerai dans le ciel, jusqu'aux étoiles à travers le vent Et encore, je volerai au delà des étoiles Je volerai à travers des vents favorables, je volerai
Italiano: Quando i venti d'inverno sfiorano e Giove sorride Ecco, una canzone uscita dalla montagna mi spinge verso la luce Così nel cielo volerò, fino alle stelle attraverso il vento E di più: oltre le stelle volerò Nel bosco fatale dove le burrasche infuriano al di sopra delle montagne Degli stagni neri mi raccontano che un tempo c'era un'età d'oro Come nelle favole che ho sentite, coglierò il mio destino dall'urna Avrò la forza della tempesta e dell'aquila l'orgoglio Così nel cielo volerò, fino alle stelle attraverso il vento E di più: oltre le stelle volerò Volerò, attraverso un vento favorevole, volerò

Ho tradotto questa dalle versioni inglese ed italiana. Grazie a stefanologan2011 per avere corretto la mia traduzione italiana! Questa canzone è dedicata a tutti che stiano ancora soffrendo perché sono diversi.
Latin lyrics/Parole latine:
noli timere, Gialle, si Frollo putat nos hic tenere, errat. noli esse temeraria, puella, creavisti magnam turbationem in festis, sit aegre sapiens augere iram Frollonis. vidisti quid fecerit foras? passus istam turbam torquere parvum puerum. putabam esse solam quae posset intercedere, itaque... sed quid habent contra personas quae sint diversae? si possimus... non potes corrigere omnes iniurias huius mundi sola. foras nemo dat manum, certe. bene, fortasse hic intus est quiddam qui possit.
ego nescio num me audias an tu vere exstes nescio num tu audire velis gallicae preces barbaram enim me esse scio nec dignam esse tui vultum tamen videns quaero num servus et fueris
Deus faciat quiddam pro quibus qui misericordiam ignorant quis sit populum adiuvas arce mortem dives iuvare non vult pauperem
velim plus quam habeo mihi sit semper et gloria et honos velimque amorem, gaudeat cor Deus me adiuvet omni die atque semper
ego nihil posco nisi animum tot tamen nosco qui peius vivunt audi istam precem pro fratribus putabam enim tristes Dei liberos immo omnes esse Dei liberos
English:
Don't worry, Gialli, if Frollo thinks he's keeping us here, he's wrong. Don't be reckless, girl, you caused a great fuss at the festival, it would hardly be wise to make Frollo's anger worse. Did you see what he did out there? Letting the crowd torture that poor boy. I thought I was the only one who could stand up to him so... What do they have against people who are different? If we could - You can't redress all the wrongs of this world by yourself. Out there no one's lending a hand, for sure. Well, perhaps in here there's someone who can.
I don't know if you can hear me or if you really exist I don't know if you want to listen to a Gaulish woman's prayers For I know I'm barbaric and unworthy of you But seeing your face I ask whether you were a slave too
May God do something for those who don't know what mercy is Help my people, keep away death The rich won't help the poor
I want more than what I have I want glory and honour always I want love, joy in my heart God help me every day and always
I ask for nothing but my soul But I know so many who live worse Hear this prayer for my brothers For I thought the miserable were children of God No - I thought we all were children of God
Italiano:
Non temere, Gialli, se Frollo pensa di tenerci qui, si sbaglia. Non essere avventata, figliola, hai creato un gran trambusto alla festa, sarebbe poco saggio fare accrescere l'ira di Frollo. Avete visto cosa ha fatto là fuori? Lasciare che la folla torturasse un piccolo ragazzo. Pensavo che io fossi la sola che potesse tenergli testa, allora... Ma cosa hanno contra le persone che sono diverse? Se potessimo- Non puoi raddrizzare tutti i torti di questo mondo da sola. Là fuori nessuno dà una mano, è sicuro. Be', forse qui dentro c'è qualcuno che può.
Io non so se puoi sentirmi o se esisti veramente Non so se vuoi ascoltare le preghiere di una gallica So che sono una barbara e non sono degna di te Ma mentre vedo la tua faccia, chiedo se saresti stato uno schiavo anche tu
Dio fa qualcosa per quelli che la misericordia, non sanno cos'è Aiuta il mio popolo, tieni lontana la morte Il ricco non vuole aiutare il povero
Vorrei di più di ciò che ho Vorrei per sempre la gloria e l'onor Vorrei l'amor, gioia nel cuor Dio m'aiuti ogni giorno per sempre
Io non chiedo nient'altro che la mia vita Ma conosco tanti che vivono peggio di me Ascolta questa preghiera per i miei fratelli Perché pensavo che i tristi fossero figli di Dio No, pensavo che tutti fossero figli di DioThe Hunchback of Notre Dame - Foras / Out There - CLASSICAL LATIN (Italian & English subtitles)O1ivette2011-12-07 | 'Out There' from HOND in Latin, with Latin subtitles and Italian & English translations

Ho tradotto questa canzone dalla versione italiana. Credo che questa se ne trovi fra le migliori. Le parole inglesi sono un po' troppo... inglesi per tradursi bene in una lingua romantica. Quindi ho cercato di scrivere le parole latine le più vicine all'italiano possibile (scusatemi se questa frase va male...) così che si comparino le due versioni. Ho fatto la versione strumentale da me stessa, e l'ho trasposta da un tono. (Sono mezzo soprano, ma non potevo cantare una melodia così bassa senza sembrare inumana!) Scusate il mio accento! Va meglio ormai, ma sono tuttavia inglese, eppure sono ammalata in questo momento... Spero vi piaccia! :)
I've translated this from the Italian version, which I think is among the best. The English words are a little too... English to translate well into a Romance language. So I've tried to make the Latin words as close to the Italian as possible, so the two versions can be compared. I made the instrumental myself, transposed up a tone. (I'm a mezzo soprano, but I couldn't sing THAT low without sounding inhuman!) Excuse my accent! It's better now, but I'm still English, and I'm also ill at the moment XD. Enjoy! :)

Okay, I don't know what happened here. Yes, this is all my voice (I did wonder myself when I played it back). I'm ill and have had a lot of sugar, so I decided to cheer myself up by ACTING all the voices, when previously I was too scared to even try singing this song. I was in hysterics for most of this. Ah well, I'm a quarter-decent actress, I just can't sing. The fun I had makes up for the fact that the singing is awful. Enjoy!! :D
Film: Rex Leo (The Lion King) Song: Sentis Noctis Amores? (Do you feel the night's love?) Original music by Elton John & lyrics by Tim Rice
Latin lyrics
Timon: scio quid accidat Pumba: quid? Timon: vident modo nullo Pumba: qui? Timon: se amabunt et nos tres amici mox erimus duo Pumba: o Timon: lunam inter et stellas hic est aria magiae nostrae tempore tam magico se dividunt viae Chorus: sentis noctis amores? vesper fert pacem melodia perfectaque harmonia somnia omnes canent Simba: ut dicam ei ego te amo monstrare debeo passi veritatem, minime solus manebo Nala: quiddam mihi celat esse quid potest? cur non fiet quem cognosco, est enim verus rex Chorus: sentis noctis amores? vesper feret pacem melodia perfectaque harmonia somnia omnes canent sentis noctis amores? sunt ubi sumus per incerta noctis volat amor eis duobus Timon: et si noctu illam amaverit non putabit ad nos immo erimus fabula altera relinquet amicos
English Timon: I know what's happening Pumba: What? Timon: They don't see at all! Pumba: Who? Timon: They'll fall in love and we three friends shall soon be two Pumba: Oh. Timon: Between the moon and stars Here there is an air of magic In this so magic time, our paths are dividing Chorus: Do you feel the night's love? The evening brings peace With melody and perfect harmony, everyone sings of dreams Simba: To tell her I love her, I have to show The truth of my past; no, I'll stay alone Nala: He's hiding something - what could it be? Why won't he be what I recognise? For he's a true king Chorus: Do you feel the night's love? The evening brings peace With melody and perfect harmony, everyone sings of dreams Do you feel the night's love? It is where we are Love flies to those two through the night's uncertainties Timon: And if he falls in love with her by night, he won't think of us Pumba: No, more, we'll be another story Timon & Pumba: He'll leave behind his friends

Yes, I have sung the voices of Simba, Nala and Zazu (and the chorus). Apologies for multiple traumatic wounds to your ears; 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' is even wackier. I definitely think my accent has improved though, so I had GREAT FUN singing this, especially Zazu's parts. Enjoy! The instrumental is by TheInteractiveStudio :)
Latin lyrics:
Simba: ero rex potentissimus; caveant hostes! Zazu: numquam vidi regem leonem egentem capillis! Simba: ut nullus antea ero maximum spectaculum repeto ut despiciam, moliorque gemitum! Zazu: adhuc haec me inspirant, vere... vix! Simba: ego volo iam fieri rex! (Zazu: via est adhuc longa, regule, crede me...) Simba: nemo dicit 'fac hoc' (Zazu: ubi hoc dixi) Nala: nemo dicit 'mane'! (Zazu: en, volebam dicere) Simba: nemo dicit 'satis' Nala & Simba: nemo dicit 'audi'! (Zazu: audi meeee!) Simba: liberus ut percurram ut sequar viam meam! Zazu: en sunt instruendi nobis una sermones Simba: primum aves parvos audire non debent reges! Zazu: huc si inclinat regnum deinde non hic manebo! sine officio, nec patria, en, ego alium locum opto! iste puer non est simplex! Simba: ego volo iam fieri rex! spectate sinistra! spectate dextra! quo spectetis sto sub luce clara! (Zazu: aegre!) Chorus: omnis bestia se liberans cantet! clamor intra armentum personet! ubique rex Simba iam claret! Simba & Nala: ego volo iam fieri rex!
English Simba: I'll be the most powerful king, enemies beware! Zazu: I've never seen a lion king with no hair. Simba: I'll be a huge spectacle like no one before I'm practising looking down and I'm improving my roar Zazu: Up to now these things are inspiring me, really... hardly! Simba: I already want to be king! (Zazu: The road is still long, little king, believe me...) Simba: No one saying 'do this' (Zazu: When I said that) Nala: No one saying 'stay here' (Zazu: Look, I meant...) Simba: No one saying 'enough' Nala & Simba: No one saying 'listen' (Zazu: LISTEN TO ME!) Simba: Free to run everywhere to follow my own way Zazu: Look, we need to have conversations together Simba: First, kings don't need to listen to little birds Zazu: If this is the way the kingdom's going, I'm not staying Without duty or country, I'm choosing another place! This boy here isn't simple Simba: I already want to be king! Look to the left, look to the right Wherever you look I'm under a bright light Zazu: Only just!

(Description in English further down)
Ho tradotto questa canzone dalla versione italiana perché penso che il sentimento sia davvero romano. La relazione fra un padre e suo figlio era molto importante a Roma e la versione italiana la mette in rilievo ('figlio di chi è padre' mentre in inglese si canta 'figlio di uomini').
La musica viene dalla versione Broadway perché non riuscivo a cancellare la voce di Phil Collins senza rovinare la musica in sottofondo, poi ho scoperto la versione Broadway, che ritiene tutta l'armonia e l'ambiente pop. È cantata dal personaggio di Terk, il quale è un ragazzo nel musical. Diciamo che qui non faccio una versione femminile, piuttosto reclamo il personaggio ^^
English: This song is translated from the Italian version, because I find that the sentiment behind it is very Roman. The relationship between father and son was very important in Rome and the Italian version emphasises it ('son of a father' rather than 'son of man').
The music is from the Broadway version because I couldn't make the voice of Phil Collins soft enough without ruining the background music, then I discovered the Broadway version, which keeps the harmony and the poppy feel. It is sung by the character of Terk, who's male in the musical. Let's say that this isn't a female version of this song - rather, I'm reclaiming the character ^^
Latin lyrics:
habes vires ut sis fortis et sapientam ut sis sapiens sciens tuum tempus adesse errans isto modo responsa invenies tu stabis in monte et in cimam tu vades fili cuius est pater liberus salies super deinde pater cum tu sis in tuo filio patrem videbis et si fueris solus dubia vinces optime ibit iter a puero vir eris fili cuius est pater liberus salies super deinde pater cum tu sis in tuo filio patrem videbis docens semper disces et discens docebis amores dum porro tibi sint quae somnia somniavisti et imagines magiae omnes fient verae tui volant semper dies fili cuius est pater liberus salies super deinde pater cum tu sis in tuo filio patrem videbis tuus filius tuus filius est pater iam paulo
Italian translation:
Hai la forza per essere forte e la saggezza per essere saggio Sapendo che il tuo momento è arrivato Vagando in questo modo Le risposte troverai Sarai tu sulla montagna e tu in cima andrai Figlio di chi è padre Libero salterai sopra Poi quando un padre tu sarai In tuo figlio un padre vedrai Anche se sei solo I dubbi vincerai Andrà benissimo il viaggio Da un ragazzo un uomo sarai Figlio di chi è padre Libero salterai sopra Poi quando un padre sarai In tuo figlio un padre vedrai Imparerei insegnando E imparando insegnerai Finché un giorno ci sarà l'amore per te Tutti i sogni che hai sognato E le immagini di magia Tutti saranno veri I tuoi giorni volano sempre Figlio di chi è padre Libero salterai sopra Poi quando un padre sarai In tuo figlio un padre vedrai Il tuo figlio è padre già da un po'
English translation: You have the power to be strong and the wisdom to be wise Knowing that your time is here Wandering in that way of yours you'll find answers You'll stand on the mountain and you'll reach the peak Son of the father Freely you'll leap above Then when you're a father You'll see a father in your son Even if you're alone You'll conquer doubts The journey will go very well From a boy you'll be a man Son of the father Freely you'll leap above Then when you're a father You'll see a father in your son In teaching you'll always learn and in learning you will teach until one day you'll have love And all the dreams you dreamed and the images of magic All will be true Your days always fly Son of the father Freely you'll leap above Then when you're a father You'll see a father in your son Your son, your son is already something of a father
Erratum! The chorus should say 'fili eius qui pater est, liber super salies'. (The first line is alright, it's just compressed and the Romans didn't do that whereas the Greeks did so I got confused. In the second line I wrote 'liberus' instead of 'liber', I ALWAYS do that...)Tarzan - Yιός του Aνθρώπου / Son of Man - ANCIENT GREEK (Greek & English subtitles)O1ivette2011-11-19 | 'Son of Man' from Disney's 'Tarzan' in Ancient Greek with Modern Greek & English subtitles

Please listen to this song without headphones as the sound is stereo. The pronunciation is that of Italian (for Latin) & Modern Greek (for Ancient Greek). My accent isn't great, because a) English sounds are very different to European ones; b) I was taught to pronounce both of these languages with different, reconstructed pronunciation so it's still a little strange to think of them as languages that are sort of spoken now.
Sorry about the video quality! It was just to have something to put in the background really XD.
Any lyrics that don't feature in the original Latin and Greek are translations from various versions of the song: Italian pop and musical, and Greek film. I'm probably going to redo both film versions in HD and alter the lyrics slightly, but for now here they are:
I'm really, really proud of this, so I hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics (Latin & Greek):
en est bestia quae paulo dormebit omni tempore quo tu bella ut es ei subriserit ἀλλαγή μίκρα, ὀλίγην φαίη δέος και φίλη, τέρας σύν κάλῃ αὔτη ἐστ' ἡ ζωή ἀεὶ ταὐτ' ἐστί semper novitas ἀεὶ ὥσπερ πάλαι semper certior solis occasu ista melodia, altera harmonia πάντ' ἅ οἶσθα σύ μαλίστ' ἀλλάξει ὀντῶς μαγεύμα ὥσπερ ἡλίος ὁ φαίνει ὕπερ te auferet cantans ὑπέρ αἰῶνας illa felicitas
English: Look, there is a beast who will soon fall asleep Every time that you, beautiful as you are, smile at it A small change, one would say little Fear and friendship, the beast with the beauty This is life It's always the same Always strange and new Always as before Always more certain than the sunrise That melody, another harmony True magic will totally change all that you know Like the sun that rises above It will take you away with song beyond lifetimes Happiness
Français: Il y a une bête qui, après un peu, s'endormira Chaque fois que tu, belle comme tu es, lui sourira Un peu de changement, on dirait petit La peur et l'amitié, la bête avec la belle Voici la vie C'est toujours pareil Toujours étrange et nouveau Toujours comme avant Toujours plus certain que le lever du soleil Cette mélodie-là, une autre harmonie La vraie magie changera tout ce que tu sais Comme le soleil qui se lève en haut Il t'emportera en chantant par-dessus des âges Le bonheur
Italiano: C'è una bestia che, fra un po', s'addormenterà Ogni volta che, bella come sei, le sorriderà Un po' di cambiamento, si direbbe piccolo Paura ed amicizia, la bestia insieme alla bella È così la vita È sempre lo stesso Sempre novità Sempre come prima Sempre più certo del sorgere del sole Quella melodia, un'altra harmonia Tutto ciò che sai, la vera magia lo cambierà Come il sole che sorge lassù Ti porterà via, cantando oltre le età La felicitàDisney - La luce sei tu (The Glow - Fandub/Traduzione ITA)O1ivette2011-10-16 | Fandub italiano di 'The Glow', canzone 'Favole Disney', con dei clip dal film Rapunzel.
Ciao a tutti! Questa canzone è cantata da Shannon Saunders e mi è piaciuta molto, allora volevo che pure gli italiani (e anche i francesi) l'apprezzino. Vi prego di scusare la mia voce (non posso cantare...) e soprattutto il mio accento! Dopotutto sono inglese e qualche sono è molto diverso in italiano... Credo che me la sia cavata con 'd' e 't' questa volta, ma ancora non riesco a pronunciare 'r'! (Detto questo, ho parlato italiano *in Italia* due volti - faccio del mio meglio XD)
Tradotte letteralmente, le parole erano troppo lunghe da fare stare nel ritmo, allora le ho cambiate un po'; il senso è rimasto, allora spero che vi sembri abbastanza poetico in italiano! Ho fatto un video di Rapunzel perché il video ufficiale mostra tutte le principesse ed è bellissimo. È pure perché la canzone riguarda Rapunzel al di sopra di tutte. Anche se non posso cantare, mi piace il video, soprattutto la parte in nero e bianco verso la fine.
So che ci sono tante doppiatrici (e tanti doppiatori) favolose qui su Youtube, e ho visto un video cercando delle doppiatrici per fare una collaborazione di questa canzone in inglese. Allora, se vorreste usare queste parole per fare un fandub, sia individualmente che in collaborazione, vi chiedo solo di dirmelo così che possa guardarla!
Grazie mille a stefanologan2011 che ha letto le parole prima che io caricassi la canzone (? ARGH queste maledette frasi subordinate) e ha corretto qualche errore, gli sono davvero grata! È sempre molto gentile e fa dei video bellissimi, GUARDATELI se non l'abbiate già fatto!
Ecco le parole della canzone:
Quando sei pronta a lasciare qui Tutto quello che sai Fa' un sogno e diventerà Come la luce che Ti porterà via di qua
La storia comincerà nel tuo cuor I sogni diverran realtà Se credi che sarai pronta a brillar Una regina sarai La luce sei tu
Guarda tutto ciò che ti accadrà Che ti piaccia chissà? La bellezza in te sorgerà La verità troverai Sei principessa lo sai
La storia comincerà nel tuo cuor I sogni diverran realtà Se credi che sarai pronta a brillar Chiara nel cielo per noi La luce sei tu
La forza, ce l'hai (e la puoi usar) Sappi che (te la caverai) Un viaggio magico farai!

The pronunciation in this is the pronunciation of Latin in Roman times. I know I normally use Italian pronunciation, and it does sound nicer, but 'Hercules' is actually a film about Roman/Greek mythology so I thought I'd use the Roman pronunciation.
The instrumental is by MissDisneyButterfly (MDBinstrumental). The parts where Meg sings 'ohhhh' in Latin alternate between 'o' and 'eheu' (alas).
~The Mythological Hercules~
'Hercules' is in fact the Latin name of the hero; as all the other names in the film are Greek, it should have been entitled 'Heracles'.
The real mythological Heracles was born with the name Alcides. He was son of Zeus (Jupiter) and Alcmene, who was married to Amphitryon. Zeus made the night last twice as long so he could spend more time with Alcmene. Amphitryon didn't say anything about his wife's adultery because he feared the gods, so he was looked upon favourably by Zeus. Zeus prophesied that the first descendant of Perseus born on a certain day would be king of the entire area. Zeus' jealous wife Hera, who was goddess of childbirth, delayed Alcmene's labour so Heracles' cousin Eurystheus was born first and became king instead.
The adult Hercules did indeed marry a Princess Megara, but Hera drove him mad until he killed their children, and then ordered the Oracle to direct him to serve Eurystheus for 10 years in order to be forgiven and become immortal. Eurystheus made him do the 12 Labours (originally 10, but he refused to accept two of them), so they were actually thanks to Hera's scheming. (In the Disney version, Zeus and Hera are his parents, while Alcmene and Amphitryon are his adoptive parents.)
Afterwards he married Deianira, then ditched Deianira for a princess called Iole, so Deianira sent him a robe wrapped in what she thought was love potion but was actually poison. He died, went to Mount Olympus (finally) and married Hebe (Juventas), daughter of Hera, with whom he had 2 sons.The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Ignis Infernus (Hellfire - CLASSICAL LATIN) HD 1080pO1ivette2011-09-11 | 'Hellfire' from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, in Classical Latin.

Right, before we start, I can't sing. I know this. So please don't take the SINGING in this video seriously. At all :D You can see in this that my speaking voice is pretty normal ;)
If some parts of this song are a little wince-worthy, it's because a) I can't sing; b) it's very high at female pitch; c) my brother wouldn't do it. After about 20 retakes, I gave up trying to sing more imposingly. Due to personal experience I found singing this particularly satisfying - not that you can tell, because my singing isn't any better than usual, but hey, the spirit is there! This is one of my favourite Disney songs, I think it's one of the best, and I think it's very accurate in many ways.
I can imagine a corrupt Catholic deacon of this age would in fact sing his confession in Latin. (Because they did that. Because they could.) It occurred to me after writing this that therefore I should leave the elisions out, but never mind. The pronunciation, however, is the pronunciation in the Catholic Church.
Notes on the Latin:
In this song more than any other, the accents in the words are deliberately placed. I've called Esmeralda ('Smaragdina', which just means 'Emerald') the 'Gaulish woman' because try as I might, I couldn't find a word for gypsy, and it fits because Gaul was Roman France, and the Romans weren't very fond of the native Gauls who rose up against their invasions. Interestingly, as I couldn't find a word for 'hunchback' either, I rendered this in the title as 'cripple' which is 'Claudus', from which comes 'Claudius' which would be Frollo's name in Latin. I thought that was a nice play on the monster/man thing in the Bells of Notre Dame song. Yes, I absolutely chose that word on purpose... ;)
Anyway, please enjoy the song and ignore my voice as much as possible XD
Latin lyrics:
(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti) (Beatae Mariae, semper virgini) (Beato Michaeli archangelo) (Sanctis apostolis, omnibus sanctis) Beata Maria, scis me esse virum honestiorem Virtute recte superbio (et tibi pater) Beata Maria, scis me esse longe puriorem Libidinoso vulgo et sordido (quia peccavi nimis) Sed fare, Maria, cur eam illic videam Meque urant fulgentes oculi (cogitatione) Sentio, video, capillos nigros furiosam Et mentam superatam perdidi (verbo et opere) Ut ignis infernus meum corpus urit Ardensque cupido me ad peccatum vertit Horum mihi (mea culpa) nulla culpa est (mea culpa) Est veneficae quae carmine necat (mea maxima culpa) Nihil possum (mea culpa), pater si vult (mea culpa) esse fortiorem quam homines diabolum (mea maxima culpa) Me adiuve, Maria, ne carmine me fascinet Ne deleat corpus et ossa Dele Smaragdinam infernos ignes degustet An fac ut semper sit solum mea!
miles: Minister Frollo, Gallica effugit. Frollo: quid? miles: non iam est in cathedra, evanuit. Frollo: sed... quomodo? nihil est. exi, morio. eam inveniam, etsi debuero incendere totam Lutetiam!
Ut ignis infernus optare nunc debes Vel me vel rogalia, sis mea an ardebis (Kyrie eleison) Miserere ita illae (Kyrie eleison) Miserere mei (Kyrie eleison) Sed illa erit mea an uretur
English translation:
(I confess to almighty God, Blessed Mary ever virgin, Blessed Michael the Archangel, the holy apostles and all the saints) Blessed Mary, you know I'm a rather honourable man, I'm rightly proud of my virtue (and to you, father) Blessed Mary, you know I'm far purer than the lustful and filthy common crowd (that I have sinned) But tell me, Mary, why I see her there, why her smouldering eyes burn me (in thought) I feel her, I see her, with her wild black hair and I've lost my conquered mind (in word and deed) Like fire from hell, she burns my body, and burning desire is turning me to sin Of this I have (through my fault) no fault (through my fault), it is the witch who kills with her spell (through my most grievous fault) I can't do anything (through my fault) if the Father wants (through my fault) the devil to be stronger than men! Help me, Mary, let her not bewitch me with her spell, let her not destroy my flesh and bone Destroy Esmeralda, let her taste the fires of hell, or make her be only mine forever
Soldier: Minister Frollo, the Gaulish woman has escaped. Frollo: What? Soldier: She's no longer in the cathedral, she's disappeared. Frollo: But... how? Never mind. Get out, idiot. I'll find her even if I have to burn down all of Paris!
Like fire from hell, now you must choose either me or your funeral, be mine or you will burn! (Lord have mercy) Thus have mercy on her (Lord have mercy) Have mercy on me But she will be mine or she will burn!Tangled - Bλέπω φώς - I See the Light (Pop Version) - ANCIENT GREEKO1ivette2011-08-28 | 'I See the Light' from Tangled in Ancient Greek (pop version).

I do not own Tangled or any of the music from the film. All is copyright Disney. This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended.
The lyrics are based on the Greek and English versions of the song (and some of my own attempts at being poetic). Below are the Ancient Greek words (you may need a special font to view them as text) and translation in English. Where the Modern Greek lyrics are the same, I've put them in brackets. If anyone can tell me the translation of the rest, that would be great :)
The pronunciation is my best attempt at Greek. Thanks to Piratessa (now 0LovelyLadyPirate0) for the karaoke. I made the video myself - I know it's been done before, and I'm by no means the best editor ever, but I tried to use scenes other than the lantern scene. I've said before but I'll say it again in case you're new - I make no claims of being a good singer. I'm just a nerdy translator. Excuse my voice and I hope you enjoy the song :)

English:
A long time, there, looking out of my window,
A long time, there, looking at things far away
One lifetime, blindly searching for
Worthy dreams
I am there, marvelling at the stars
I am here, and I see clearly
And the future is clear
Because I am living my dream!
And at last I see the light!
And the fog has dissolved
And at last I see the light
And the sky has opened
And the magical world
throws my heart into the flames
I see light, someone is showing it to me
And indeed it is you yourself
For a lifetime, I wanted something useless
indeed small, unachievable, weak
For a lifetime, I always wondered
What am I searching for?
There [s]he is, and [s]he shines like a star
Suddenly, I am struck out of my senses
Right now with you I
shall find my dream!
And at last I see the light!
And the fog has dissolved
And at last I see the light
And the sky has opened
And the magical world
throws my heart into the flames
I see light, someone is showing it to me

I don't own Tangled or any of the music from the film. This video is intended for educational purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. I consider this video to be fair use; if you disagree please let me know.
I've sung this song in Ancient Greek before, but this version is translated from the Modern Greek while the other one is translated from the English.
Rapunzel's Modern Greek singing voice is provided by Rena Morfi. I sing the Ancient Greek versions myself. Please be warned I'm a translator, not a singer. I never claimed I could sing!
NOTE: I'm no video editing expert, and getting the audio of this song (instrumental by MisticalMermaid) to fit onto the video was a NIGHTMARE. I FINALLY did it by producing a sort of 'glitch' on the shot of the tower and on the shot of Rapunzel's feet. I'm sorry if you find this jarring but it means that the audio is almost completely in sync with Rapunzel's mouth movements :)
As this a linguistic comparison video, you may have noticed my pronunciation is closer to Modern Greek. Perfecting other accents isn't exactly a trait the English are famous for, especially non-Romance ones, but I've done my best. Please excuse errors! :P
For scholarly purists, I researched Greek phonology before doing this and discovered that the pronunciation I've used was dialectic in the 5th century BC and was more widespread by the 3rd century BC, so it is technically still 'Ancient Greek'. It just isn't the British reconstructed Attic dialect. This is a long shot, but if you're studying/teaching Ancient Greek and would like me to re-record this with British reconstructed pronunciation, please let me know and I'll be happy to do so.
I don't speak Modern Greek per se. I can translate it with a dictionary if it's written down, and I can figure out the gist of it spoken if there are subtitles. I have the lyrics to the other songs - I haven't seen them anywhere other than on the DVD, so being as I won't be singing them all, if there is one in particular you would like me to upload with subs & trans, please send me a message.
Lyrics, in the format Modern Greek (from DVD subtitles) Ancient Greek (translated from the modern; you may need a special font to view this) English (translated from modern and ancient Greek)
Πόσο κοντά μου είναι τώρα ο κόσμος Πόσῳ ἄγχι μοι γ' ἔστι τῇ ὠρᾳ ὁ κόσμος How close the world is to me now
Κάνω το λάθος βήμα ή το σωστό; Κάνω το λήθης βήμα ἤ το σωστόν; Am I making the wrong step or the right one? [Literal Ancient Greek: Am I completing the step of forgetfulness or the safe one?]
Ν' αλλάξω γνώμη εδώ όσο υπάρχει χρόνος ἆρ' ἀλλάξω γνώμην ἐγώ ὁσῷ ὑπάρχει χρόνος Shall I change my mind while there is still time?
Λες να...; Όχι. Ναι, μπορώ δήπου... Οὐκετι. Ναί, εἶμι ἔνθα Maybe... No [longer]. Yes, I'll go
Μπορώ να νιώσω απλά τη μυρωδιά στη γη Τοινῦν δὴ πειρῶ ἀπλῶς μύριας ὄσμας τῆς γῆς I can simply feel the smell of the ground [Literal Ancient Greek: Now I am simply feeling the thousand smells of the ground]
Δροσιά καλοκαιρού κοντά της με καλεί Δρόσος κάλου καίρου ἄγχ' ἕαυτῃ με κάλει The dew of summer [lit: 'the beautiful time'] calls me close to it
Κι επιτέλους τώρα είμαι ελεύθερη Και ἴδου τέλος τῇ ὤρᾳ εἰμί ἐλεύθερη And [look] finally, now I'm free
Μπορώ και τρέχω, πετάω, χορεύω, κυλάω Τοινῦν δὴ τρέχω, πετάω, χορεύω, κυλίομαι [Right now] I (can) run, fly, dance, roll
Γελάω, σφυρίζω, σε σένα ελπίζω Γελάω, συρίζω, διά σε γ' ἐλπίζω Laugh, whistle, through you I hope

Hello all! You may notice that the pronunciation in this is different to my pronunciation of Greek in the other videos... I have combined the English reconstructed pronunciation of Ancient Greek with some sounds from Modern Greek to make it 'doubly authentic' and because the latter sounds much nicer. The sound 'υ' in particular is pronounced as a rounded 'i' (which, firstly, caused a lot of difficulty, and secondly, is somewhere between 'oo', as I was taught to pronounce it, and 'ee' as in Modern Greek). I hope the new pronunciation makes my singing *slightly* more bearable ;)
Half of this song was extremely easy to translate and I actually improvised it. The other half was a pain because I had to use the dual, a special Greek noun/verb formation for when there are 2 of something. But I'm happy with it and despite my singing, I hope you enjoy hearing this special song in Greek!

Ancient tale, always true
They weren't even friends; now they are changing
Suddenly to them
A small change, one might say little
Both are afraid and they are not ready
Beauty and the Beast
It is always the same things, unexpected
Always as before, always certain
Like the sun
Ancient tale, song of the gods
Sharp and sweet, now seeing new things
And knowing crimes
Like the sun that appears above
Ancient tale, eternal song
Beauty and the Beast
Vieux conte, toujours vrai
Ils n'étaient même pas amis, maintenant ils se changent
Soudainement pour eux-mêmes
Un petit changement, on dirait petit
Tous deux ont peur et ils ne sont pas prêts
La Belle et la Bête
Toujours les mêmes choses, à l'improviste
Toujours comme avant, toujours certaines
Comme le soleil
Vieux conte, chant des dieux
Amer et doux, voir les nouvelles choses
Savoir les crimes
Comme le soleil qui apparait au-dessus
Vieux conte, chant éternel
La Belle et la Bête
Vecchio conto, sempre vero
Neanche erano amici, ora si cambiano
Di un colpo per loro
Un piccolo cambiamento, si direbbe piccolo
Tutti due hanno paura, neanche sono pronti
La Bella e la Bestia
Sempre ci sono le stesse cose all'imprevisto
Sempre come prima, sempre certe
Come il sole
Vecchio conto, canto degli dei
Amaro e dolce, vedere le novità
E sapere i torti
Come il sole che appare lassù
Vecchio conto, canto eterno

I recorded this quite a while ago (hence the whirring of my old laptop) but never got round to uploading it, so here it is! Greek next. As always, please excuse my singing.
NB the line third-to-last line is 'mutetur aetas' (may time change). This is because at the time I couldn't understand the English lyric ('change the fates' design') and thought it was 'change the face of time'. I didn't want to re-record it as I'd have to do the whole song and this was reasonable so I didn't want to chance it. If I were to redo it, I would translate it as 'concilia Parcas' ('bring the Fates onto my side').

Cette chanson est devenue très célèbre dans le monde anglophone et semble populaire sur YouTube car il y a enfin une solo pour Belle, mais il n'en existe pas encore de version française alors je m'y suis lancée. J'ai écouté cette chanson pour la première fois quand je suis allée voir la comédie musicale pour mon 18ème anniversaire. Les nouvelles chansons étaient magnifiques et je voulais partager mon expérience avec les francophones :)
Cette version est une version pop chantée par Susan Egan qui a joué le rôle de Belle quand le spectacle a fait son début, et qui est aussi la voix anglaise de Megara (Hercules). Cette chanson a été interprétée pour la première fois par Toni Braxton, mais je ne pouvais pas trouver d'enregistrement d'une qualité suffisante. Pourtant je vous conseille de l'entendre chanter la chanson originale, je l'ai trouvée magnifique :)
J'ai essayé d'écrire des paroles poétiques, pour en faire une "version" française au lieu d'une simple traduction. Veuillez remarquer que les paroles riment et conviennent au rythme! Je ne suis pas douée au point de pouvoir faire rimer toutes les deux lignes comme Tim Rice mais j'ai fait de mon mieux.
J'aurais bien pu essayer de chanter cette chanson mais je ne voulais pas la gâcher. Si vous voulez utiliser ces paroles pour la chanter, n'hésitez pas! Je ne demande que le lien, mais si vous voulez diriger vos écouteurs envers mes traductions ce sera génial! :)
Je me sens déjà chez moi avec le montage! Je ne suis pas encore experte mais j'en suis contente. J'aimerais bien savoir ce que vous en pensez. Cette chanson me rappelle vraiment Raiponce, surtout la partie 'Mon monde imaginaire est parti pour de bon, mais à sa place je sens une vraie vie commencer'. Je crois peut-être en faire une vidéo...
J'ai changé un peu les mots exacts quelquefois mais je dirais que tout le sens est retenu. Aux parties où j'ai dû exprimer le sentiment d'une façon différente, j'ai mis la traduction littérale en parenthèses.
Paroles (avec traduction littérale en parenthèses)
Je crois changer en moi (Il y a eu un changement en moi) Comme si je tourne une page (Une sorte de tournée de page) Mais ce que j'ai été (Mais de la personne que j'étais) Je la suis davantage (Je dépends encore) Car maintenant je sais (Car maintenant je me rends compte) Que le bien vient du mal Même si ça ne me rend pas sage Il me rend si contente Et moi, je ne croyais pas renoncer À mes rêves d'enfance, mais ça me plait, (...mais ça m'est égal [de façon positive]) Car (maintenant) j'aime bien ce monde que je vois Je ne change pas d'avis, je change en moi (Pas de changement d'avis, un changement en moi)
Car dans mon désespoir (sombre) Je commençais à comprendre (J'ai lentement compris) Mon monde imaginaire (Mon monde parfait là-bas) Est parti pour de bon (avait disparu pour de bon) Mais à sa place je sens Une (plus) vraie vie commencer C'est si bon et réel Et vient du coeur, je sais (Il doit venir de l'intérieur)
Et moi, je ne croyais pas renoncer À mes rêves d'enfance, mais ça me plait, Je suis fière de tous mes choix (Je suis où et qui je veux être) Je ne change pas d'avis, je change en moiIf I Cant Love Her - Traduction française (La Belle et La Bête Broadway)O1ivette2011-06-01 | La chanson "If I Can't Love Her" de la comédie musicale Broadway "La Belle et La Bête", traduite en français fidèlement mais avec rimes!

J'aimerais bien remercier ma consoeur Hélène qui m'a fait découvrir cette merveilleuse chanson en m'amenant à voir la comédie musicale pour la première fois pour mon 18ème anniversaire! Elle me connait si bien. Merci ma chère :) Fonce à l'allant! ;)
J'ai été surprise de voir qu'aucune traduction française des chansons Broadway n'existait sur YouTube, alors j'ai voulu les partager avec les francophones, en commençant avec celle-ci qui est ma préférée. J'ai aussi écrit une traduction de 'A Change in Me' (Je change en moi) mais il me faut monter le vidéo. J'ai l'intention de traduire les autres, en particulier 'Home' (Chez moi). Attention! Celle-ci vient de la version britannique de la comédie musicale. La version originale est de Terrence Mann.
J'ai essayé d'écrire des paroles poétiques, pour en faire une "version" française au lieu d'une simple traduction. Veuillez remarquer que les paroles riment et conviennent au rythme! Il faut peut-être essayer de les chanter pour voir où mettre l'accent mais je vous assure que ça marche, puisque je fais toutes mes traductions en les chantant et les changeant en même temps XD Si vous voulez utiliser ces paroles pour chanter la chanson, n'y hésitez pas! Je ne demande que le lien, mais si vous voulez diriger vos écouteurs envers mes traductions ce sera génial! :) J'ai toujours horreur de faire des vidéos qui ne comprennent que des images mais je ne voulais même pas essayer d'utiliser Windows Movie Maker. Heureusement, en plus de voir ce spectacle pour mon 18ème anniversaire j'ai récemment acquis un MacBook, et iMovie est tellement supérieur que j'ai pu débuter dans le montage sans aucune expérience! Quelquefois les paroles ne sont pas venues exactement où je les ai voulues mais je crois ça va bien aux moments importants, et en fin de compte j'en suis trop fière. C'est ma première vidéo après tout.
Je crois que j'ai gardé le sens entier de la chanson mais quelquefois j'ai dû faire bouger les paroles un peu, où les exprimer d'une manière un peu différente. J'espère que vous ne m'en voulez pas! Je vous présente en parenthèses une traduction exacte.
Paroles et traduction littérale
Dans mes traits pleins d'angoisse (Et dans mon visage tordu) Il n'y a la moindre trace De rien qui fasse allusion à la douceur De ma forme tourmentée Impossible de m'échapper (Pas de réconfort, pas de fuite) Je vois mais au fond je suis tout aveugle Privé d'illusions folles, le temps s'envole (Sans espoir, pendant que mon rêve meurt, que le temps s'envole) L'amour un rêve disparu (L'amour une illusion perdue) Impuissant, et sans pitié; froid, entrainé (Impuissant, et non pardonné; froid et poussé) À une histoire qui se conclut... (À cette conclusion triste)
Nulle beauté ne m'émouvrait (Nulle beauté ne pourrait m'émouvoir) Nulle bonté ne m'améliorait (Nulle bonté ne pourrait m'améliorer) Nul pouvoir sur terre, si j'ignore l'aimer (...si je ne peux pas l'aimer) Nulle passion ne m'atteindrait (Nulle passion ne pourrait m'atteindre) Nulle leçon ne me dirait (Nulle leçon ne pourrait me faire apprendre) Comment l'aimer et faire pour qu'elle aime, moi aussi (Comment j'aurais pu l'aimer et lui faire m'aimer en retour) Si j'ignore l'aimer, puis qui? (Si je ne peux pas l'aimer, elle, alors qui?)
Jadis j'aurais dû savoir (...voir) Toutes les choses en mon pouvoir (Toutes les choses que j'aurais pu être) Sans aucune réflexion j'ai avancé... (Insouciant et irréfléchi j'ai avancé)
Nulle douleur (ne pourrait être) plus profonde Nulle vie n'en vaudrait moins Nul but maintenant, si j'ignore l'aimer Nul esprit ne me vaincra (Nul esprit pourrait me vaincre) Nul espoir ne reste en moi Espoir que je l'aimerai et qu'elle me libéra (Espoir que je pourrais l'aimer et qu'elle allait me libérer) Ce ne sera pas, si j'ignore l'aimer Que le monde se défasse de moi!Tangled/Mallia Koubaria - Πότε καινουργήσω τήν ζωήν - CLASSICAL GREEKO1ivette2011-05-08 | "When Will My Life Begin?" from Tangled in ANCIENT GREEK with Ancient and Modern Greek subtitles.

Hello there! It's been a while since I've done one of these... I have based this version on the actual Modern Greek version, which has been released since I did the last one. The lyrics of the Modern Greek are on the bottom line of the subtitles.
The subtitles are rather small because of the quality of the video (it's 720 pixels) so please make sure you close the ad box to view them!!
I have sung this with the reconstructed pronunciation of Classical Greek, which is slightly different to Modern Greek (especially eta, upsilon, beta, gamma, delta, theta and pi). Classical Greek also distinguishes between a rough breathing (e.g. he versus e), and often the words are exactly the same but a syllable is cut off because of elision in Classical Greek poetry. NB I don't speak Modern Greek.
J'aimerais dédier cette chanson à mon amie Nikoletta (la grecque folle) qui a supporté mes requêtes énervantes de transcrire la chanson ! MERCI BEAUCOUP! Je t'adore même si ta musique est nulle :P Je viendrai te rendre visite à Montpellier l'année prochaine ! ;)
Also uber thanks to Ireney on Wordreference.com for checking the spelling and translation!
Here are the Ancient Greek words in Greek font, with English translation (if you want the Modern Greek please send me a message!). Please note to read Ancient Greek you need Arial Unicode MS, Athena Roman or another font that supports the breathings.

Nana Mouskouri recorded 'Only Love' in several languages so I have put some of them together for you to hear her beautiful singing of this beautiful song in different ways :) If you can understand the lyrics it's even more wonderful to listen to, but if not, Nana's voice more than makes up for it anyway ^^
I was surprised no one had apparently thought of this before. It's the first time I've done a multi-language anything, and I had to move the tracks around because somehow they matched up in some places but not others, so I apologise for any slight indications of switching from one to the other.
There are also 2 recordings of this song in German. I didn't include them because there are only 4 sections of the song, and I preferred to use the Romance language versions as I study them. I have since discovered that the sound is sadly blocked in Germany anyway.
I've included less of the French version because Nana's French songs are better-known than the other two versions. All three foreign versions are beautiful, but none of them has seemed to be able to render the phrase 'I was part of you, and you were all of me', which is my favourite line -- they seem to have gone with similar themes of love being a heritage instead -- hence why I've switched back to English at the end.
If anyone would like a French/Italian/Spanish translation of the original words, please let me know. (I can probably produce poetic translations in French and Italian, but Spanish will have to be literal.)
Enjoy!
ENGLISH -- Only Love (V. Cosma/N. Gimbel)
Only love can make a memory Only love can make a moment last You were there, and all the world was young And all its songs unsung, and I remember you then When love was all, all you were living for And how you gave that love to me Only then, I felt my heart was free I was part of you, And you were all of me

A propos de la version française: Quoique j'aime bien la version française officielle (« Je veux y croire »), les paroles sont loin de l'anglais et je me demandais pourquoi on a traduit certaines phrases d'une certaine manière lorsqu'il me semblait parfaitement facile de les traduire plus fidèlement. Il y a des vidéos 'subs & trans' mais en général celles-ci ne sont pas des traductions poétiques. Enfin j'ai décidé de le faire moi-même. J'ai essayé de garder le sens original autant que possible, tout en gardant le rythme et la rime. Ainsi, la traduction est presque entièrement littérale, mais j'ai quelquefois changé le temps des verbes; pourtant, ce n'est pas grave, le sens est présent. Aussi dans certains cas j'ai manipulé un peu la nuance des paroles anglaises. J'espère que ceci vous plaît ! NB. Le titre est "Tout enfin m'est éclairci" car l'expression "Je vois la lumière" n'a pas le sens de l'anglais, et d'ailleurs ce n'est pas très poétique. "C'est mon endroit à moi" - littéralement "je suis où je suis censée être" (à peine poétique) "Le ciel m'est inconnu" - j'ai traduit "new" en tant que "étrange, jamais vu, différent" "Au chaud, ces vraies lumières brillent" - littéralement "il est chaud, réel, et brillant". Je l'ai changé un peu en gardant les trois éléments, car c'est plus poétique et "brillent" rime mieux avec "éclairci".
A proposito della versione italiana: Infatti la versione italiana di questa canzone mi piace tantissimo. (E' davvero migliore del francese!) In generale, si mantengono i sentimenti dell'inglese. Tuttavia, non è completamente letterale, quindi ho deciso di sottotitolare la versione originale. Questa è una traduzione quasi completamente letterale con rima e ritmo. Ironia della sorte, non ho potuto fare stare tutte le parole perchè nella traduzione italiana ci sono troppe sillabe! All'inizio delle 3 prime righe di Rapunzel e di Flynn, devono sentirsi le parole 'Per tutti questi giorni ... per tutti questi anni ... per tutto questo tempo'. Mi sono accorta solo dopo aver fatto la traduzione che "quanto + verbo" per l'esattezza usa il congiuntivo. Ops! Ho l'intenzione di cambiarla! Per il resto, credo che vada bene, almeno si spera XD Studio l'italiano da un mese allora vi prego di scusare gli errori. Spero che vi piaccia questa traduzione. NB. Il titolo è "Tutto al fine si schiarisce" perchè "Vedo la luce" non ha il senso dell'inglese. "Ora vedo la realtà" va benissimo ma volevo fare riferimento alla luce. "E' reale qui al caldo" - in inglese si dice 'è caldo, reale e brillante', cosa che non conviene al ritmo senza suonare innaturale. Allora ho fatto un gioco di parole su "reale" ('vero' o 'regio').Bella et Bestia - Fabula Aeterna (Beauty and the Beast - CLASSICAL LATIN)O1ivette2011-03-22 | Main theme "Beauty and the Beast" from the Disney film, in Classical Latin: lyrics in description!
I do not own Beauty and the Beast or any of the music from the film. All is owned by Disney. This is for entertainment and educational purposes only. No copyright infringement intended.
Music by Alan Menken; lyrics by Howard Ashman, Claude Rigal-Ansous and Charles Aznavour
I have translated this song from the original English version and, where easier, from the two French versions. (I have translated its Italian version separately.) Unlike my other cover versions, I decided to include elision in this one (cutting off adjacent vowels as they did in genuine Latin poetry) as it is one of my favourite Disney songs and I wanted to do it justice (with the lyrics, at any rate, not my singing): hence why you can't hear every syllable when it's sung. The pronunciation, however, is based on Italian.
haec est pro Daisy, mea sodale latinae cui 'Bella et Bestia' est movimago praelata!
