Term:	improvement to translation
BG > EN	#911204 by atemp (US), 2019-07-29, 17:45 Spam? Have long suspected that a longstanding off-the-cuff translation is not the best. Source: song lyrics as arranged and set by BG composer Filip Kutev. Supposed BG source text, academic-style Roman transliteration, and EN translation below: Заспала е Фида (Ансамбъл Филип Кутев) Заспала е Фида, ле ле, Заспала е Фида, Правната градина, Под бельот трендафил. Лудо поминало, ле ле, Едно лудо младо, Взеде и гердано, Взеде и гердано. Що да стори Фида, ле ле, Кагда каже Фида На мама на тате Kъде е гердано? — Zaspala e Fida, le le, Zaspala e Fida, Pravnata gradina, Pod beljot trendafil. Ludo pominalo, le le, Edno ludo mlado, Vzede i gerdano, Vzede i gerdano. Što da stori Fida, le le, Kagda kaže Fida Na mama na tate Kŭde e gerdano? — Fida fell asleep, Fida fell asleep, In a garden, Under a white rose. A crazy one came by, A crazy young man, And stole her necklace, And stole her necklace. What will Fida say When she tells Her mother and father Where the necklace is? Subtext/allegory aside, which improvements might apply? /Thanks!
