Traduções

Lamento, mas há uma tradução do Purcell que deixa algo a desejar. É claro que basta juntar dois tradutores para dar barraca, mas, enfim...

Veja-se estes dois versos do Purcell

so kiss my arse disdainful sow
good clatter is my mistress now.

que foram traduzidos como

beija-me o cu, desdenhosa criatura.
o bom clarete é doravante a minha amante.

Demasiado suave. O que o homem diz mesmo é

Beija-me o cu, porca desdenhosa,
A boa borga é agora minha amante.

Pelos vistos o MVC confundiu clatter com claret (assumindo que o Purcell não confundiu os termos, claro!). E sow é uma daquelas porcas grandes que produzem leitõezinhos na Bairrada.

E a propósito, aqui fica isto, sem tradução e virtualmente intraduzível. Acho que se perceberá a tendência...

Clatter
Peter Finch

I love you
I keep saying oh
On the bus you
Hear me coming up
The stairs clatter
And I'm going to say
It again sorry I love you
Clatter you're embarrassed
All your friends mmmm
