Re: LazyTown International
It is funny to compare the translations of the songs in different countries.
For example: The story in "Here we go" is: "The Prince wanted to pass through, the king said: Sorry, no can do. The Princess asked the King to let them stay; and finally the King said: ...Ok"
While in Russia they sing (translated): "The Prince said: I wanna go. The king answered: I don't let you leave. Maybe we stay then? The king thought and answered: Well yes".
So it is almost the opposite. Or: Many people said that he was greedy; To that he said: "I'm just needy".
In Russia they sing for the last part: "To that he said: "Who cares?""
I understand, the lyrics must fit the rhythm and the tune and I don't mind all that. It is just funny.Note

Re: LazyTown International
I think a translation english-russian is really complicated...at least when it comes to rhymes...it's almost the same with english-german...german words are usually longer than the english counterpart...same with russian...and I know what I'm talking about...got 5 years russian lessons in school

Re: LazyTown International
I know, Buzz, I speak all three languages. Basically adaptations in all languages are difficult, especially if there are wordplays (How can you translate "It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake" to "To sugar a cake is hard").
I just find it funny how languages can change the story the song is telling.:)Note

Re: LazyTown International
lol...I think it isn't so difficult to sugar a cake but well...the russian kids don't give a shit about that I guess
the only things that remained from my russian lessons are that I can say how old I am and where I live...and yeah I can say "I love you" as well

Re: LazyTown International
About to sugar a cake, I have forgotten to mention, this is the line from the German version of "Cooking by the book". I don't think either that this is hard.
Hey, this is nice too. Especially the last line is beautiful. :)the only things that remained from my russian lessons are that I can say how old I am and where I live...and yeah I can say "I love you" as well

Re: LazyTown International
I know the season one, and the season 2(?) German songs were longer, were the season 3 and 4 songs longer? and are they only longer on the CD? or are the songs in the show longer too? all that might have been established before, but I know I don't know anything about the season 3 and 4 German songs.Getur einhver annar verið Glanni ? það bara passar ekki

Re: International Broadcasts
Olaf Kristin also did the S3 and S4 Icelandic dubs, that's nice.

Re: International Broadcasts
Looks like we're getting into the topic of voice actors. Expect to see an "International V.A." thread coming soon. :)Note

Re: International Broadcasts
There probably is one, or was one once upon a time. I seem to remember a thread with photo's of the actors from various countries, but maybe I'm misremembering.
EDIT: my bad, the international thread is more relevant than the broadcast thread.
Also, after speed reading the whole International thread, its content is pretty much 100% voice actor related posts.Getur einhver annar verið Glanni ? það bara passar ekki
