I've been taking Japanese lessons and some of the exercises we do during the week is finding Japanese music we fancy and translating it. (albeit slowly.)

Anyways, I found I really liked this song. I hope you do too. :)

Poll time.

Are those his own hands playing that flute?

No. Doesn't look like it to me.

Hah don't think so, the very last part where he holds the last note is definately his hands, but the rest appears way too awkward to be his own hands. It's like someone is laying underneath him or something.

I also find it amusing that they'd bother to fake the flute fingering considering the fact that the music is obviously added over the scene, not recorded in.

Well, my guess is that they want it to look close enough to authentic. They probably figured that fake fingers look better than bogus finger placement.

I just found it amusing that they went to that length when the piano (which should be more likely to be recognized than the pennywhistle) has completely incorrect notes being struck. Picard does get more screen time, though.

It's not anything of huge concern, this is just the sort of thing that bemuses me as a musician…like when movies have scenes in ballrooms or parties with bands, and the bands have no roles other than to play the music, why are they almost never real musicians?

Probably because it's much cheaper to get random dudes to pretend, than musicians? My best guess anyhow.

So… did you manage to translate it?

It was supposed to be translated?

Anyhow, I wonder if you're trying to make a statement about this community with those lyrics. :wink:

The OP was talking about translating foreign language songs. I figured maybe I'd 'help' a little. Blame Cratylus – he brought the French into it! :biggrin:

As far as making statements, all I can say there is LAWLz.
:lol:

Can you translate, or give the overall message that's relevant of that song, David? :p

I won't do a pretty translation but here's a rough one.



You who think you've seen it all
Who have traveled, who have read
Surprised by nothing anymore
Welcome to Verona

You who think that man is good
Because he can write pretty songs
If you think this one is good
Welcome to Verona

Of course here is like everywhere else
Men are neither worse nor better
Hey!- you who come to us tonight
By mistake or by chance

You are in Verona, beautiful Verona
The city where everybody hates each other
We'd like to go but we stay
Here there is no love of kings
Here two families make the laws
No need to choose your side
That decision was made for you long ago

You are in Verona, we speak of Verona
Here the venom of hatred flows in our lives
Like in our veins
Of course our gardens are flowered
Of course our women are beautiful, and then
It's like paradise on Earth
But our souls are in hell
You are in Verona

You who at night fall asleep
Certain that you are loved
Here, one is sure of nobody
Welcome to Verona

It's true that we are blessed by gods
Here we die but we die old
Here everybody has a crown
That's how it is in Verona

Of course here is like elsewhere
Men are neither worse nor better
Hey!- you who come to us tonight
By mistake or by chance

Verona! Verona!
You are in Verona…

Yes, that was the same passage I noticed that prompted my question in #14. :tongue:
