Hallo, dag, dis ek, 'n 'haiduc',
En asseblief, my liefling, ontvang die vreugde
Hallo, hallo, dis ek, Picasso,
Ek het jou 'n biep gestuur, en ek is dapper

X2
Jy wil weggaan, maar jy wil nie, jy wil my nie meeneem nie
Jy wil nie, jy wil my nie meeneem nie, jy wil my nie, meeneem nie
Jou gesig en jou liefde onder die lemmetjie boom,

Ek bel, om jou te vertel wat ek vir jou voel
Hallo my skat, dis ek, vreugde
Hallo, hallo, dis nog steeds ek, Picasso
Ek het jou 'n biep gestuur, en ek is dapper
Maar weet dat ek jou nie enigiets vraag nie

X2
Jy wil weggaan, maar jy wil nie, jy wil my nie meeneem nie

I'm not a native African speaker, but Dutch is very close to Afrikaans and I have been in South Africa a few times. I (spell)checked and verified it with my Afrikaans dictionary and Google though, so it should be 99% right

a really translation in polish :

Miłość z lipy

Ma-ja hii
Ma-ja huu

Ma-ja haa

Halo, cześć, ja jestem haiduc'iem
I błagam Cię, kochanie, przyjmij szczęście
Halo, halo, ja jestem Picasso,
Wysłałem Ci beep'a, i jestem dzielny,
Ale pamiętaj, że ja Cię o nic nie proszę.

X2
Chcesz jechać ale nie chcesz mnie, nie chcesz mnie zabrać ze sobą,
Nie chcesz mnie, nie chcesz mnie zabrać ze sobą, nie chcesz mnie, nie chcesz mnie, nie chcesz mnie zabrać ze sobą.
Twoja twarz i pierwsza miłość,
Zapamiętaj mnie w twoich oczach.

Dzwonie, by Ci powiedzieć, to co teraz czuję,
Halo, kochanie, to ja, szczęście.
Halo, halo, to ciagle ja, Picasso,
Wysłałem Ci beep'a, i jestem dzielny,
Ale pamiętaj, że ja Cie o nic nie proszę.

hey everybody.

great forum. happy to see people are so multi-culti.

lady urania asked for a translation of "de ce plang chitarele" about
4 pages back. (yes, i actually read all the posts). since nobody else
seems to have translated it for her, i'll take the liberty to do it myself.
(i must add, this is out of pure boredom)

disclaimer: due to the fact that there is not a trace of anything even
remotely poetic in me, this translation will be a mot-a-mot one.



why do the guitars cry?

you know why the guitars cry?
they've been hurt by memories
you, my love, tell them
what was, is not lost
why do the guitars cry
only the street lamps know
the bitter strings (guitar strings)
what could they have lost?


girls walk down the street
the flirty girls
they look at me and shout behind me
"you don't respond to my SMS"
love floats* on the streets ( * is in the air)
the night is bitter without her
she calls, calls somebody else
my guitar cries!

this is what lack of sleep does to you.
please ignore second stanza as it is in romanian (apparently)
thanx

[Gilles10]

I'm just wondering, but I don't think I agree with the English translation? I don't know Romanina but...

Solo estoy pensando, pero no creo que estoy acuerdo can la traduccion de Ingles. No se Rumano pero...


You have "Dragostea Din Tei" translated as "Love under the Linden Tree", isn't it really "Love of the Linden Tree"?

Traes "Dragostea Din Tei" traducido como "Amor abajo del Tilo", no realmente es "Amor del Tilo"?


And you have "nu mă, nu mă iei, Nu mă, nu mă iei, nu mă, nu mă, nu mă iei." translated as "you won't, you won't take me, You won't, you won't take me, you won't, you won't take" shouldn't it be "do not, do not call me, Do not, do not call me, do not, do not, do not call me"?

Y traes "nu mă, nu mă iei, Nu mă, nu mă iei, nu mă, nu mă, nu mă iei." traducido como "no vas, no vas a llevarme, No vas, no vas a llevarme, no vas, no vas, no vas a llevarme" no deve ser "no me, no me llames, No me, no me llames, no me, no me, no me llames"?


Remember, I don't know Romanian, so I could be wrong.

Acuerdan, no se Rumano, puedo estar incorrecto.

And you have "nu mă]




hi.
sorry to tell you this, but you are wrong.

"din" = "from"
"sub" = "under"
therefore, it's "love FROM the linden tree"
*** could also be interpreted as love UNDER the linden tree, but not love OF the linden tree

and the second one....

"nu" = no, don't
"ma" = me (in this case)
"iei" = you take
therefore, it's you don't take me.

( the girl is leaving and not taking him along; there's nothing about calling in there)


hope that helps

[Gilles10]

Ok, thank you very much, I was just doubting, but know I know I was wrong.

I still have a question of the meaning of "Din" see I'm not sure if it works like this in Romanian, but in Spanish, "De" means "From" and "Of" and as the Spanish title is "Amor del Tilo" it could be translated as "Love of the Linden Tree" or "Love from the Linden Tree". So does "Din" also aswell mean "Under"?

So does "Din" also aswell mean "Under"?

"Din" is a location preposition. It can mean both "from" and also "under". It usually means something "coming from". Thus, the best translation I could find of "Dragostea din tei" was "Love under the linden tree". But, for instance, it can also be translated as "love near the linden tree" (you get the idea ).

En español, "Din" podria ser traducida en una preposicion componida como "de las" o "del".

[lupisor]

By the way, I translated "De ce plang chitarele" here http://www.fanclub.ro/showthread.php?p=263736#post263736 but not many people noticed it

[a d | n u t z a]

sorry lupisor

guess i was one of the ones who didn't notice your translation........
i saw it now......... they're almost the same. mine and yours i mean......

guess the english language does not give you much room for a better translation..........

[lupisor]

It's okay, I'm used to be ignored :cry:

[Gilles10]

Romanian is so confusing. >< The languages with verb endings are really hard for me. I learned the reason why Romanian has them, is because they were the first romance language to break of Latin.

[Herra]

I made this from the English translation. Not sure how coherrent it is, but here goes another Ugro-Finnish (not sure what it is in english "Suomalais-Ugrilainen" in Finnish) version, this time in Finnish.

[Herra]

Oh it's linden tree? Thought it was lime tree :F Linden is "pihlaja" in Finnish, if I remember correctly. Well, just replace the word "limetti" with "pihlaja" in your mind.

And yes, English as a language is so new that it can't translate the "old languages" very well I think. Not so many words to describe things.

[Rolo Tomasi]

you guys forgot to mention that the word "tei" has the same form both in singular and plural therefore it can be the linden tree or the linden trees which brings me to the ideea of making love between the linden trees
(like a small forest of linden trees you know)

just a thought!

[lupisor]

it's cool to have the translation in a Ugro-Finnic language as well


Gilles, the Romanian verb endings are similar to the other neo-Latin languages. Here's an example of the verb "to have" ("a avea" or "avere"): http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/cache/5.avea.html . It is the declinations that are different. Romanian kept the Latin cases, which were abbandoned by the other Romance languages, with the difference that we have 5 cases instead of 6 and have slightly less declinations.

[Antonio Vieira]

And, why not a translation into Portuguese? Here is my translation!

O amor sob a árvore de tí­lia

Olá*, viva, sou eu um justiceiro,
E por favor, meu amor, aceita a felicidade.
Olá, olá, sou eu Picasso,
Enviei-te um bip**, e sou robusto,
Mas saibas que ní£o te peí§o nada.

Queres partir mas ní£o me, ní£o me levas, ní£o me, ní£o me levas, ní£o me, ní£o me, ní£o me levas.
O teu rosto, e o amor da tí­lia,
Lembram-me os teus olhos.

Ligo-te para te dizer o que sinto agora,
Olá, meu amor, sou eu, a felicidade.
Olá, olá, sou ainda eu, Picasso,
Enviei-te um bip, e sou robusto,
Mas saibas que ní£o te peí§o nada.

Herra, thanks for the Finnish translation. Kiitos suomalaisesta kí¤í¤nní¶ksestí¤!

Linden tree is 'lehmus' in Finnish.

The correct English term for 'suomalais-ugrilainen' is 'finno-ugric'. I noticed somebody here used the term 'ugro-finnic'. Of course the Hungarian language group has more speakers than the Finnish language group, so it would logical to take the 'ugro' part first, but actually 'finno-ugric' is the term that is usually used to refer to this language group, in which the biggest languages are Hungarina, Finnish and Estonian (plus dozens of smaller languages mainly spoken in Russia).

[Herra]

Hmm, I could have sworn it was "pihlaja". Should have checked ..

[Nairb]

Could anyone post a pronunciation guide for the lyrics?
I'm having trouble understanding some of the words and how to pronounce them. :con:

Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

iubirea mea, sunt eu
sunt iarasi eu

I can pronounce the rest of the words from the song but I just can't seem to pronounce most of these...

And by the way, what language is this site in??
I can only understand about half of the words
(Yup, I'm from the US ( New Jersey:rulz: ) and only had to learn one language... please forgive my lacking in world culture :confused:

[Smokey_Java]

While everyone's at it, might as well add a Chinese translation here.

That´s really cool, this song it´s going to be in the guinness book. Here is a Guaraní­ translation to help a little more, i madeit taking the spanish translation as a base. Guaraní­ is a traditional languague of Paraguay (Center of South-America). This languague is so old that the Paraguayans mix the both languagues because some words don´t exist in Guaraní­, that´s why I mixthem too...

Ye Gods... what's this world coming to? :rolleyes:

anyway:
for those wondering about linden/lime-tree: as far as I know, "linden" is the poetic form.

and for those wondering why the lyrics don't make much sense... well, they don't make sense in Romanian either

Why is it that always a really " shit , stupid , idiot " song gets to have what is the best ???
Now i'm realy confused ! Why is it have to be this way ! The lyricks are a total mess , as the group itself ! And plus : there are greater bands in romania that have better songs ! Should O-zone be a label for romania as dracula is ???

ozone was the band who introduced me to romanian music, i personally think they are a talented band. some of the best songs in the world have lyrics that dont make sence...thats the beauty of music, you can interpret it in many different ways. dragostea din tei is a great fun song, i went to romania last month and bought their cd and the other songs are even better..... why are you embarrassed of this song being a 'label' for romania, the reason they became so popular in europe is because people liked the song, so surely thats a good thing? ah well just my opinion.
