I překladatelské perly a jejich fanoušci už mají svou stránku na facebooku. Přidejte se!

 Veronika Klučinová 14 březen v 10:09 titulky k jedné detektivce, mrtvola leží v baru na záchodcích. "Kdo ji našel?" "Manažer. Lidé si chvíli stěžovali, že byl John mimo provoz."

 Juli Minaříková 8 březen v 10:06 Taky dám k dobru dva klenoty z fanouškovských titulků k jednomu britskému seriálu - chápu, že tyhle překlady jsou většinou k dispozici prakticky ihned a jejich autory tlačí čas, ale občas to jsou opravdu perly. Jedna klasická: "Leave her alone!" -> "Nechte ji o samotě!" A pak jedna, která se mi opravdu vryla do paměti : "It's driving you mad" -> "Proto řídíš jako šílená."

Rytmus a rým

Překládání písňových textů je možná snazší, než se zprvu může zdát. Probuďte svou fantazii! :)

Vyberte si jednu z následujících písní a pokuste se napsat k melodii český text. Tentokrát nám nejde o překlad! Obsah může být jakýkoli, jediným kritériem je zpívatelnost hotového textu.
Věnujte nejprve pozornost identifikaci přízvučných dob v hudbě, pak do rytmické struktury zasazujte text. Neváhejte zachycovat víc nápadů, později z nich vyberete ty nejlepší.

Queen - Princess of the Universe

Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of you all

Oh!
I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings (Yeah, yeah!)
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of you all

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe

No man could understand
My power is in my own hands
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
People talk about you
People say you've had your day
I'm a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time, yeah
I know that people talk about me
I hear it every day
But I can prove them wrong 'cause I'm right first time
Yeah yeah

Alright, let's go, let's go
Haha!
Yeah...watch this man fly
Bring on the girls
C'mon C'mon C'mon!

Here we are (here we are)
Born to be kings, we're princes of the universe
Here will we belong

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe




Simon And Garfunkel – The Boxer 

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...



Peter, Paul & Mary – Cruel War 

The Cruel War is raging, Johnny has to fight
I want to be with him from morning to night.
I want to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Tomorrow is Sunday, Monday is the day
That your Captain will call you and you must obey.
Your captain will call you it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade, as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade, no one will ever know.
Won't you let me go with you?
No, my love, no.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, I fear you are unkind
I love you far better than all of mankind.
I love you far better than words can e're express
Won't you let me go with you?
Yes, my love, yes.

Yes, My Love, Yes.
