Bluza (SRB)

Stolicu primakni

Ruku mi dotakni

Noćas ti si moja muza

Ja u ritmu tvoga bluza ću da

Plešem bez prestanka

Soba nam je mala

Ja ko pijana budala

A ni čaše nisam popio

Ja mislim da sam se zaljubio u tebe

Baš ja, koji nisam verovao da za nekim biću lud

Za tebe, kao u pesmama i filmovima ljubavnim,

sad iću svud

Samo se okreni

Baci pogled prema meni

Preći će tišina sama

Kilometre među nama

Dok jednom srce otkuca

Soba nam je mala

Ja ko pijana budala

A ni čaše nisam popio

Ja mislim da sam se zaljubio u tebe

Baš ja, koji nisam verovao da za nekim biću lud

Za tebe, kao u pesmama i filmovima ljubavnim,

sad iću svud

Ne palite još svetla

Još samo jedan tren

Da se nagledam lepote te

Ne palite još svetla

Ne prizivajte dan

Spasite me, smislite neki plan

Ako svane sunce

Ostaću sam

Blouse (ENG)

Translation by @moonlvster

Move your chair closer

Touch my hand

Tonight you're my muse

In the rhythm of your blues

I will dance non-stop

The room feels too small for us

I'm acting like a drunk idiot

But I haven't had a single glass

I think I've fallen in love with you

Yes, me, who didn't believe I could be crazy about someone

For you, like in love songs and movies,

I would go anywhere now

Just turn around

Glance towards me

Silence alone will

Pass kilometers between us

In a single heartbeat

The room feels too small for us

I'm acting like a drunk idiot

But I haven't had a single glass

I think I've fallen in love with you

Yes, me, who didn't believe I could be crazy about someone

For you, like in love songs and movies,

I would go anywhere now

Don't turn the lights on yet

Just one more moment

So I can admire that beauty

Don't turn the lights on yet

Don't summon the day

Save me, think of some plan

If the sun rises

I'll be alone

Bluza (SLO)

Translation by @kurooscoffee, review by Drumbeat, proofread by X coffebiscuitxx

Primakni stol,

dotakni se moje roke.

Nocoj si moja muza.

V ritmu tvojega bluza bom

plesal brez prestanka.

Najina soba je majhna.

Jaz pa kot pijana budala,

čeprav nisem spil niti kozarca.

Mislim, da sem se zaljubil vate.

Prav jaz, ki nisem verjel, da bom kdaj na koga nor.

Zate bi kot v ljubezenskih pesmih in filmih

zdaj šel povsod.

Samo obrni se,

poglej proti meni.

Tišina bo sama

prepotovala kilometre med nama

v enem samem utripu srca.

Najina soba je majhna.

Jaz pa kot pijana budala,

čeprav nisem spil niti kozarca.

Mislim, da sem se zaljubil vate.

Prav jaz, ki nisem verjel, da bom kdaj na koga nor.

Zate bi kot v ljubezenskih pesmih in filmih

zdaj šel povsod.

Ne prižgite še luči,

samo še en trenutek,

da se nagledam te lepote.

Ne prižgite še luči,

ne kličite dneva.

Rešite me, izmislite si nek načrt.

Če vzide sonce,

bom ostal sam.

Rapproche ta chaise

Touche ma main

Ce soir tu es ma muse

Au rythme de ton blues

Je danserai sans m'arrêter

Notre chambre est petite

J'agis comme un idiot ivre

Mais je n'ai pas bu un seul verre

Je pense que je suis tombé amoureux de toi

Oui, moi, qui ne pensais pas pouvoir être fou de quelqu'un

Pour toi, comme dans les chansons et les films d'amour,

j'irai n'importe où maintenant

Fais simplement demi-tour

Regarde vers moi

Le silence seul fera

Passer les kilomètres qui nous séparent

En un seul battement de cœur

Notre chambre est petite

J'agis comme un idiot ivre

Mais je n'ai pas bu un seul verre

Je pense que je suis tombé amoureux de toi

Oui, moi, qui ne pensais pas pouvoir être fou de quelqu'un

Pour toi, comme dans les chansons et les films d'amour,

j'irai n'importe où maintenant

N'allumez pas encore les lumières

Juste encore un instant

Pour que je puisse admirer cette beauté

N'allumez pas encore les lumières

N'invoquez pas le jour

Sauvez-moi, trouvez un plan

Si le soleil se lève

Je resterai seul

Translation by @vesdagrem, review by @varianestoroff and IG irenalemajic

Avvicina la sedia,

toccami la mano.

Stasera sei la mia musa.

A ritmo del tuo blues

ballerò senza sosta

La nostra stanza è piccola.

Mi comporto come uno stupido ubriaco

ma non ho bevuto neanche un bicchiere.

Penso di essermi innamorato di te.

Sì, io, che non pensavo sarei mai stato pazzo di qualcuno.

Per te, come nei film e nelle canzoni d'amore,

andrò ovunque.

Voltati e basta.

Guardami.

Solo il silenzio

passerà i chilometri tra noi,

in uno solo battito.

La nostra stanza è piccola.

Mi comporto come uno stupido ubriaco

ma non ho bevuto neanche un bicchiere.

Penso di essermi innamorato di te.

Sì, io, che non pensavo sarei mai stato pazzo di qualcuno.

Per te, come nei film e nelle canzoni d'amore,

andrò ovunque.

Non accendete ancora la luce.

Ancora un istante,

così ammiro quella bellezza.

Non accendete ancora la luce.

Non invocate il giorno.

Salvatemi, pensate a un piano.

Se il sole sorge

resterò solo.

Rück deinen Stuhl näher

Berühr meine Hand

Heute Nacht bist du meine Muse

Im Rhythmus deines Blues

Werde ich ununterbrochen tanzen

Unser Zimmer ist klein

Ich benehme mich wie ein betrunkener Idiot

Aber ich habe kein einziges Glas getrunken

Ich denke, ich habe mich verliebt in dich

Ja, ich, der nicht geglaubt hat, ich würde verrückt nach jemandem sein

Nach dir, wie in Liebesliedern und -filmen

würde ich jetzt überall hingehen

Dreh dich einfach um

Schau zu mir

Allein die Stille wird

Kilometer zwischen uns überwinden

In einem einzigen Herzschlag

Unser Zimmer ist klein

Ich benehme mich wie ein betrunkener Idiot

Aber ich habe kein einziges Glas getrunken

Ich denke, ich habe mich verliebt in dich

Ja, ich, der nicht geglaubt hat, ich würde verrückt nach jemandem sein

Nach dir, wie in Liebesliedern und -filmen

würde ich jetzt überall hingehen

Schaltet das Licht noch nicht ein

Nur noch einen Moment

Damit ich diese Schönheit betrachten kann

Schaltet das Licht noch nicht ein

Beschwört nicht den Tag

Rettet mich, überlegt euch einen Plan

Wenn die Sonne aufgeht

Werde ich alleine sein

Blouse (DUT)

Translation by a member of JokerOutSubs

Zet je stoel dichterbij

Raak mijn hand aan

Vanavond ben jij mijn muze

In het ritme van jouw blues

Wil ik oneindig dansen

De kamer voelt te klein voor ons

Ik gedraag me als een dronken idioot

Maar ik heb geen enkel glas gehad

Ik denk dat ik verliefd ben geworden

Ja, ik, wie niet geloofde dat ik gek op iemand zou worden

Voor jou, zoals in liefdes liedjes en film,

ik zal nu overal heen willen

Draai je gewoon om

Kijk naar mij

Alleen stilte zal

Kilometers tussen ons passeren

In één enkele hartslag

De kamer voelt te klein voor ons

Ik gedraag me als een dronken idioot

Maar ik heb geen enkel glas gehad

Ik denk dat ik verliefd op jou ben geworden

Ja, ik, wie niet geloofde dat ik gek op iemand zou worden

Voor jou, als een liefdes lied en film,

ik zal nu overal heen willen

Doe de lampen nog niet aan

Nog één klein moment

Zodat ik deze schoonheid nog kan bewonderen

Doe de lampen nog niet aan

Laat de dag nog niet binnen

Red mij, bedenk een plan

Als de zon opkomt

Zal ik alleen blijven

Translation by X AnnaaMontana

Ryk din stol tættere på

Rør min hånd

I aften er du min muse

Til rytmen af dine blues

Vil jeg danse uafbrudt

Vores værelse er lille

Jeg opfører mig som et fuldt fjols

Men jeg har ikke drukket en eneste tår

Jeg tror, at jeg er blevet forelsket i dig

Ja, mig, som ikke troede, at jeg kunne blive vild med nogen

Med dig, som i kærlighedssange og -film,

ville jeg tage hvor som helst hen nu

Bare vend dig om

Se på mig

Stilheden vil i sig selv

Tilbagelægge kilometerne imellem os

På et enkelt hjerteslag

Værelset føles for småt til os

Jeg opfører mig som et fuldt fjols

Men jeg har ikke drukket en eneste tår

Jeg tror jeg er blevet forelsket i dig

Ja, mig, som ikke troede jeg kunne blive vild med nogen

Med dig, som i kærlighedssange og -film,

ville jeg tage hvor som helst hen nu

Ikke tænd lyset endnu

Bare et øjeblik til

Så jeg kan beundre den skønhed

Ikke tænd lyset endnu

Hidkald ikke dagen

Red mig, læg en plan

Hvis solen står op

Vil jeg være alene

Pusero (FIN)

Translation by @saallotar, @niini5 and @drugsforaddicts

Siirrä tuoliasi lähemmäs

Kosketa kättäni

Tänä iltana olet muusani

Blues-sävelesi rytmiin

Tanssin taukoamatta

Huoneemme on pieni

Hölmöilen kuin humalassa

Mutten ole juonut lasillistakaan

Luulen että olen rakastunut sinuun

Minä, joka en koskaan uskonut hullaantuvani kenestäkään

Vuoksesi, kuin rakkauslauluissa ja elokuvissa,

menisin minne vain

Käännythän ympäri

Vilkaisethan minuun

Hiljaisuus yksinään

Tekee kilometrejä välillemme

Yhdessä sydämenlyönnissä

Huoneemme on pieni

Hölmöilen kuin humalassa

Mutten ole juonut lasillistakaan

Luulen että olen rakastunut sinuun

Minä, joka en koskaan uskonut hullaantuvani kenestäkään

Vuoksesi, kuin rakkauslauluissa ja elokuvissa,

menisin minne vain

Älkää sytyttäkö valoja vielä

Hetkeen ainakaan

Jotta voin ihailla kauneuttasi

Älkää sytyttäkö valoja vielä

Älkää kutsuko huomista

Pelastakaa minut, keksikää suunnitelma

Jos aurinko nousee

Olen yksin

Translation by X sae_w

もっと椅子を寄せて

この手に触れておくれよ

今夜　君は俺のミューズ

君のブルースのリズムに合わせて

休むことなく踊るよ

小さな部屋にふたり

酔った間抜けのフリしてるけど

本当は一杯だって飲んでない

どうやら　恋をしてしまったみたいだ

君にさ　そう、俺がだよ　

誰かに夢中になるなんて　ありえないと思ってたのに

君に首ったけ

まるでラブソングやロマンス映画みたいにさ　

どこへだって行くよ

振り向いて

こっちを見ておくれよ

沈黙だけが　ふたりの間を数キロ先まで駆けてく

たった一拍の鼓動のうちに

小さな部屋にふたり

酔った間抜けのフリしてるけど

本当は一杯だって飲んでない

どうやら　恋をしてしまったみたいだ

君にさ　そう、俺がだよ

誰かに夢中になるなんてありえないと思ってたのに

君に首ったけ

まるでラブソングやロマンス映画みたいにさ

どこへだって行くよ

まだ明かりはつけないで

あと一瞬だけ

この美しい光景に見惚れていたい

まだ明かりはつけないで

一日を呼び起こさないで

どうか助けてくれ　何か案をおくれよ

朝日が昇ってしまえば

もう俺は1人きりだ

Sobata ni e mala

Bash jas, koj ne veruvav deka za nekoj kje bidam lud

Za tebe, kako vo ljubovnite pesni i filmovi,

sega kje odam sekade

Samo svrti se

Frli pogled kon mene

Tishinata sama kje pomine

Kilometri megju nas

Sè dodeka srceto ednash ne zachuka

Sobata ni e mala

Jas ko pijana budala

No ni chasha ne sum ispil

Mislam deka se zaljubiv vo tebe

Bash jas, koj ne veruvav deka za nekoj kje bidam lud

Za tebe, kako vo ljubovnite pesni i filmovi,

sega kje odam sekade

Ne pushtajte svetla sè ushte

Samo ushte eden moment

Da se iznagledam na ubavinata tvoja

Ne pushtajte svetla sè ushte

Ne go povikuvajte denot

Spasete me, smislete nekoj plan

Ako izgree sonceto

Kje ostanam sam

Translation by X ddrflctn

Húzd közelebb a széked

Érintsd meg a kezem

Ma éjjel te vagy a múzsám

A bluesod ritmusában

Fogok táncolni megállás nélkül

A szoba túl kicsi nekünk

Olyan vagyok, mint egy részeg bolond

Pedig még egy pohárral sem ittam

Azt hiszem, szerelmes vagyok beléd

Igen, én, aki nem hittem volna, hogy valakiért majd megbolondulok

Érted, mint a szerelmes dalokban és filmekben,

most már bárhová elmennék

Csak fordulj meg

Vess egy pillantást felém

Maga a csend fog

Kilométereket megtenni közöttünk

Egyetlen szívdobbanás alatt

A szoba túl kicsi nekünk

Olyan vagyok, mint egy részeg bolond

Pedig még egy pohárral sem ittam

Azt hiszem, szerelmes vagyok beléd

Igen, én, aki nem hittem volna, hogy valakiért majd megbolondulok

Érted, mint a szerelmes dalokban és filmekben,

most már bárhová elmennék

Még ne kapcsoljátok fel a villanyt

Csak még egy pillanat

Hogy csodálhassam ezt a szépséget

Még ne kapcsoljátok fel a villanyt

Ne idézzétek meg a napot

Mentsetek meg, találjatok ki valami tervet

Mert ha felkel a nap

Én egyedül maradok

Przysuń swoje krzesło

Dotknij mojej dłoni

Tej nocy jesteś moją muzą

W rytmie twojego bluesa

Będę tańczył bez przerwy

Nasz pokój jest mały

Ja niczym pijany głupiec

Ale nie wypiłem ani kieliszka

Myślę, że się zakochałem w tobie

Tak, ja, który nigdy nie myślał, że można za kimś szaleć

Dla ciebie, jak w piosenkach i miłosnych filmach,

pójdę teraz wszędzie

Tylko się odwróć

Spojrzyj na mnie

Cisza sama pokona

Kilometry nas dzielące

Z jednym uderzeniem serca

Nasz pokój jest mały

Ja niczym pijany głupiec

Ale nie wypiłem ani kieliszka

Myślę, że się zakochałem w tobie

Tak, ja, który nigdy nie myślał, że można za kimś szaleć

Dla ciebie, jak w piosenkach i miłosnych filmach,

pójdę teraz wszędzie

Nie zapalajcie jeszcze światła

Jeszcze tylko moment

Abym mógł podziwiać twoje piękno

Nie zapalajcie jeszcze światła

Nie przyzywajcie dnia

Uratujcie mnie, wymyślcie jakiś plan

Jeśli wzejdzie słońce

Zostanę sam

Sandalyeni yaklaştır

Elime dokun

Bu gece benim ilham perimsin

Bluzunun ritminde

Durmandan dans edeceğim

Oda bizim için çok küçük

Sarhoş bir aptal gibi davranıyorum

Ama tek bir kadeh bile içmedim

Galiba sana aşık oldum

Evet, ben, biri için deli olabilceğime inanmayan ben

Senin için, aşk şarkılarında ve filmlerinde olduğu gibi,

her yere giderim

Sadece arkanı dön

Bana doğru bak

Sadece sessizlik

Aramızdaki kilometreleri

Tek bir kalp atışında geçecek

Oda bizim için çok küçük

Sarhoş bir aptal gibi davranıyorum

Ama tek bir kadeh bile içmedim

Galiba sana aşık oldum

Evet, ben, biri için bu kadar deli olabilceğime inanmayan ben

Senin için, aşk şarkılarında ve filmlerinde olduğu gibi,

her yere giderim

Henüz ışıkları açma

Sadece bir dakika daha

Böylece o güzelliğe hayranlık duyabilirim

Henüz ışıkları açma

Sabahı çağırma

Kurtar beni, bir plan yap

Eğer güneş doğarsa

Yalnız kalacağım

Acerca tu silla

Toca mi mano

Esta noche eres mi musa

Al ritmo de tus blues

Bailaré sin parar

La habitación parece demasiado pequeña para nosotros

Estoy actuando como un idiota borracho

Pero no me he tomado ni una copa

Creo que me he enamorado de ti

Sí, yo, que no creía que podía estar loco por alguien

Por ti, como en las canciones y películas de amor,

ahora iría a cualquier parte.

Date la vuelta

Mira hacia mí

El silencio por si sólo

Pasará kilómetros entre nosotros

En un solo latido

La habitación parece demasiado pequeña para nosotros

Estoy actuando como un idiota borracho

Pero no me he tomado ni una copa

Creo que me he enamorado de ti.

Sí, yo, que no creía que podía estar loco por alguien

Por ti, como en las canciones y películas de amor,

ahora iré a cualquier parte

No enciendas las luces todavía

Sólo un momento más

Para poder admirar esa belleza

No enciendas las luces todavía

No invoques el día

Sálvame, piensa en algún plan

Si sale el sol

Estaré solo

Estic actuant com un idiota borratxo

Però no m'he près ni una copa

Crec que m'he enamorat de tú

Sí, jo, que no creia que podia estar boig per algú

Per tu, com en les cançons i pel·lícules d'amor,

Dona't la volta

Mira cap a mi

El silenci per si sol

Passarà quilometres entre nosaltres

En només un batec

L'habitació sembla massa petita per a nosaltres

Estic actuant com un idiota borratxo

Però no m'he près ni una copa

Crec que m'he enamorat de tú

Sí, jo, que no creia que podia estar boig per algú

Per tu, com en les cançons i pel·licules d'amor,

No encenguis les llums encara

Només un moment més

Per poder admirar aquesta bellesa

No encenguis les llums encara

No invoquis el dia

Salva'm, pensa en algun pla

Si surt el sol

Estaré sol

För din stol närmare

Rör vid min hand

I natt är du min musa

I rytmen av ditt vemod

Slutar jag aldrig dansa

Rummet känns för litet för oss

Jag beter mig som en redlös dåre

Fast jag inte druckit ett enda glas

Jag tror jag blivit förälskad i dig

Ja, jag, som inte trodde jag kunde bli galen för någon

För dig, som i kärlekslåtar och filmer,

skulle jag gå vart som helst nu

Bara vänd dig om

Se på mig

Tystnaden kan själv

Föra kilometer emellan oss

På ett enda hjärtslag

Rummet känns för litet för oss

Jag beter mig som en redlös dåre

Fast jag inte druckit ett enda glas

Jag tror jag blivit förälskad i dig

Ja, jag, som inte trodde jag kunde bli galen för någon

För dig, som i kärlekslåtar och filmer,

skulle jag gå vart som helst nu

Tänd inte lyset än

Bara ett ögonblick till

Så att jag kan beundra skönheten

Tänd inte lyset än

Tillkalla inte dagen

Rädda mig, tänk ut en plan

Om solen gryr

Blir jag ensam

Tumblr's inventing new wrong ways to use Dutch again

[hemaris]

i love u book translators ❤️

[garcinogeneticist]

Hello to the 4 Dutch speaking TMA fans, I've started translating TMA into Dutch for funsies, am I insane? Yes, Did I have to look up a guide for how to use they/them in Dutch? Perhaps. Am I having a blast? Absolutely. I'll just be going episode by episode in order, if anyone wants the link to the drive folder I put these in lmk. I have no deadline for this or whatever just a fun project to see how long I last until I get absolutely tired of it.

[danikatze]

A few days ago I mentioned that I found a way to translate subtitle files to Dutch, so I could watch a Japanese show with my mum. And like, it's good enough, but it's got some pretty garbled sentences sometimes, that are difficult to follow at the speed subtitles tend to go.

So I decided to fix some of the subtitles (meaning I'm basically translating from scratch lol) and I've come across some surprising things.

One of those things is that I can't find a satisfying translation for "souka/naruhodo" in Dutch? In English it's "I see," but we just don't really have that, I think.

The literal translation would be "ik snap/begrijp het," but that just sounds wrong in most of those contexts. I think the best translation would be various kids of onomatopoeia, like "aha" and "hmm" and "uh-huh." Whatever fits in the situation.

This is such a basic phrase, what's wrong with us.

[detentiontrack]

QUICK respond to this ask in Dutch 😈

Oké! Ik zal het proberen en hopelijk mezelf niet belachelijk maken (apologies to Dutch people everywhere, I have no idea if I structured that sentence correctly). Ummmmmm Ik weet niet wat te zeggen? Ik hou van Anxiety. Ik gebruik geen vertaler dus dit is waarschijnlijk slecht.

Translation (I hope): “okay! I will try and hopefully not make a fool of myself. Ummmmm I don’t know what to say? I love Anxiety” (I used the sentence structure treating anxiety like a first name instead of the word anxiety because I don’t know the word for anxiety in Dutch 😭) “I am not using a translator so this is probably bad.”

[one-with-the-tree]

Hm doesn't quite have the same "oomph" to it that Woundwort does.

Also this is an incorrect translation, the correct Dutch word for woundwort is "andoorn".

I guess they translated it similarly to how they handled Duncton Wood, going off of more loose definitions and vibes of the name rather than a direct one-to-one translation.

[marswasnothere]

Thinkin about merperson shark max and marine biologist daniel

[salvadorbonaparte]

We have a 5h layover in Amsterdam on our way to Ireland and that sounds annoying but at least I can buy myself a nice fridge magnet (I've been to Amsterdam before but didn't buy myself a souvenir) and perhaps a magazine or book in Dutch...

For another favourite moment, we have Bojan singing Novi Val in Finnish! This was a great moment for our Finnish team and we know you all loved it too! Here’s to another year of a generation of love and hope, Uusi aalto! ❤️

[iwanttobepersephone]

The American urge to add a new course on Duolingo every time I make a friend who speaks a different language is overwhelming

[itwoodbeprefect]

it's a delightfully humbling experience to run across a video with hardcoded subtitle translations in two different languages and absolutely none of those (the spoken language or the subtitled ones) are even slightly related to the four languages i could somewhat claim to speak or the nice handful of others i can at least try to take educated guesses at. there is a wide open world out there full of words i don't know and likely never will, and not for lack of trying, but because we (humans) have SO many different languages the human lifespan just isn't long enough to learn them all. and i think that's incredibly cool, actually

[sunshines-child]

Hot take: Dutch isn’t real

[zoueriemandzijnopmars]

How can I have started a book, read the blurb on the back, the title and 30 pages, but only when I’m tracking my progress on the StoryGraph and only finding an English version of the book when searching by isbn I realise that the book is in fact in English and not in Dutch as I’d been convinced?!?!

[imaginary-wanderer]

Reading German and Italian fics auto-translated in English with Google Translate, from two different fandoms, is interesting. I have a better level in Italian than German (should be the contrary but I learned German at school 25 years ago and Italian in 2021 so... yeah) so I can switch between the original version and the translated one when the translation is strange to check the original text and see what I understand of it (very often, the translation is way too literal or it extrapolates like mad. Very strange).

Google definitely translates German more “stiffly” than Italian. I don’t know if it’s more about the writing style in German in general, or just the writers’ styles even, but in Italian>English, things are flowing a little more. 

The common thing is how it mixes pronouns/articles. With Italian, it’s quite understandable but it also shows the limits of the AI. And they’re low in this case. In Italian, you can not use articles when you know who you’re talking about, if it makes sense in context. So in a fic full of male characters, clearly depicted as “he” or “him” and other gendered articles several times, Google still replaces the “missing” articles in English by “she” or “her” when two male characters are interacting. It never replaces both by “she”, though, it’s always one of the guys... So many mlm romantic scenes becomes het scenes and it’s a NO.

It also happens with translated German. I’ll need to check the original versions when it happens but it’s really weird when there’s no female characters at all in a short oneshot, not even mentioned once, and the male characters are written several times as “he”. Where do the female references come from in the translation? Or is Google Translate trained primarily on het content...
