Kichwa	Aux Arbres Citoyens
Nakala Tafsiri iliombwa na CocoT	Lugha ya kimaumbile: Kifaransa Le ciment dans les plaines Coule jusqu'aux montagnes Poison dans les fontaines, Dans nos campagnes De cyclones en rafales Notre histoire prend l'eau Reste notre idÃ©al "Faire les beaux" S'acheter de l'air en barre Remplir la balance : Quelques pÃ©trodollars Contre l'existence De l'Ã©quateur aux pÃ´les, Ce poids sur nos Ã©paules De squatters Ã©phÃ©mÃ¨res... Maintenant c'est plus drÃ´le Puisqu'il faut changer les choses Aux arbres citoyens ! Il est grand temps qu'on propose Un monde pour demain ! Aux arbres citoyens Quelques baffes Ã prendre La veille est pour demain Des baffes Ã rendre Faire tenir debout Une armÃ©e de roseaux Plus personne Ã genoux Fais passer le mot C'est vrai la terre est ronde Mais qui viendra nous dire Qu'elle l'est pour tout le monde... Et les autres Ã venir... Plus le temps de savoir Ã qui la faute De compter la chance ou les autres Maintenant on se bat Avec toi moi j'y crois
Maelezo kwa mfasiri	- Lyrics from Yannick Noah's song "Aux Arbres Citoyens" - I'm not necessarily looking for a word-to-word translation (particularly if the result sounds awkward), but something that would really express the environment-friendly message of the song to people speaking other languages. Don't be afraid to be creative ;) - "Aux arbres citoyens", for instance, refers to "Aux armes citoyens", the French national anthem. You could find something that works with the anthem of the country whose language you're translating to (and we might have alternatives when that language is spoken in more than one country), or, when it's not possible, find a nice way to express the idea in that language without necessarily using the anthem theme. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCH_Fw0qYJs :) UtilizaÅ£i acest link dacÄƒ nu aveÅ£i tastaturÄƒ cu caractere romÃ¢neÅŸti. http://romanian.typeit.org AtenÅ£ie, orice traducere de text, Ã®n orice limbÄƒ ar fi ea, care nu utilizeazÄƒ diacriticele folosite Ã®n mod normal Ã®n respectiva limbÄƒ, va fi respinsÄƒ sistematic.

Kichwa	Onward to the trees, citizens!
Tafsiri Kiingereza Ilitafsiriwa na guilon	Lugha inayolengwa: Kiingereza Cement across the plains Flows into the mountains Poison in the fountains Through our countrysides Out of tornadoes Our history is sinking Our ideal remains "To strut our stuff" Buying air in blocks Filling the balance: Some petrodollars In exchange for existence From the equator to the poles This weight on our transitory squatters' shoulders... It isn't funny anymore Since we must change things Onward to the trees, citizens! It's time for us to propose A world for tomorrow! Onward to the trees, citizens! Some slaps we are due The watch is for tomorrow Some slaps due in return Making an army of reeds Stand firm No more people kneeling Pass the word It's true that the Earth is round But who's to tell us That it is for everyone... And the ones to come... No time left to know who's to blame to count the chances or the others Now we should fight With you I do believe
Maelezo kwa mfasiri	Comment tu la trouves celle-ci, Francky? J'aime pas trop, je suppose qu'il vaut mieux la laisser Ã un anglophone.

	Francky5591 Idadi ya ujumbe: 12396	En tout cas je la prÃ©fÃ¨re Ã la mienne, elle est plus Ã©quilibrÃ©e, t'as bien fait, en plus je me rends compte que j'avais fait un contresens, Ã "c'est plus drÃ´le", j'avais traduit "plus" par "+"! Et par exemple "the "equator to the poles" c'est mieux que "from Equator to Poles"! Par contre j'aimais mieux "to pass on smthg" que "forward", par rapport au message. Mais comme tu dis, nous autres quand on parle anglais Ã§a sent le latin!
		17 Mechi 2007 15:45
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	I made a few changes - Francky, I understood what you meant about making it close to an English-language national anthem, but I don't see how that's possible - there's none with a line like that I can think of, so I just made it sound "anthem like": Onward to the trees! I had a problem with "la veille" (here we go again with that) - I changed it to "the watch", but I don't understand what the original is referring to. I also changed "gusty cyclones" to "tornadoes", but I'm not sure. "To pride ourselves" cannot stand alone - it's always "to pride oneself on something". Maybe we need a better translation, but I don't know what "faire les beaux" means. And one last note: I'm really glad guilon did this - I don't think I could have - my French just isn't good enough!
		17 Mechi 2007 18:35
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	Also, I changed "purchasing air in bars" to "buying air in blocks" - the word "purchasing" is usually only used in a commerce context, and I initially thought of those oxygen bars they sometimes have in shopping malls (do you have those?) when I read the expression, so I changed it to "blocks" to give the idea of purchasable units.

	Francky5591 Idadi ya ujumbe: 12396	Good job! This is a team! We weren't too many of us to do it, and do it well. I think this time it is validable, but let's give CocoT, the submiter of this text, the last word about it, seems fair this way, what do you think?
		17 Mechi 2007 19:07
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	What about my question about "faire les beaux"?
		18 Mechi 2007 11:30
	Francky5591 Idadi ya ujumbe: 12396	Sorry, I simply forgot it! "faire les beaux" is to "show of", I think, without being sure at 100% I hope that CocoT (who's a better English speaking than I am, will confirm (or not)...
		18 Mechi 2007 15:30
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	How can that be "our ideal"? I still don't understand. Also, have you asked CocoT to have a look at this?
		18 Mechi 2007 15:47
	guilon Idadi ya ujumbe: 1549	It means: "our ideal (our goal) is to show off, to attract attention, to get noticed by others" It's a critical depiction of our exhibitionist attitude.
		18 Mechi 2007 15:49
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	Oh thank you - that's helpful. I'll edit it, then.
		19 Mechi 2007 12:06
	samanthalee Idadi ya ujumbe: 235	Could anyone explain the verse "Making an army of reeds; Stand firm; No more people kneeling"? It sounds totally weird when translated into Chinese verbatim. I don't quite understand the significance of "reed" and "people kneeling" (is the idea of "prostrating" intended here?)
		19 Mechi 2007 12:20
	Francky5591 Idadi ya ujumbe: 12396	"reed" is "roseau" in French, it is symbolically a vegetal which folds itself when for instance there is a very strong wind, but cannot be broken when the wind blows. Means "you can be strong, but you won't break us. In Asia, your fantastically resistant bamboo would illustrate maybe more again symbollically, a resistance (here in the text, resistance by people against the whole mighty decisions of lobbies whose purpose is to make money without giving a dawn about ecology)
		19 Mechi 2007 12:23
	Francky5591 Idadi ya ujumbe: 12396	And about "kneeling", rather means being submited like slaves to these iniquitous decisions mentioned above.
		19 Mechi 2007 17:21
	annekevdv Idadi ya ujumbe: 12	"faire les beaux", could it mean something like "doing the good thing"? I'm not sure about it. "la veille" is "the day before", "the previous day".
		19 Mechi 2007 19:07
	kafetzou Idadi ya ujumbe: 7963	We've already solved these problems, anneke, but thanks anyhow. "faire les beaux" = "strut our stuff" "la veille" = "the watch" (veille has two meanings)
