Рибка

Маленька-маленька рибина,
Де твоя велика глибина?
Що ти робиш тута?
Тут з водою скрута,
Море тут по кісточки,
Горя тут бочки! Ей!
 
Маленька-маленька рибка,
Тут вода мілка і липка.
Опустили вудки
На твої грудки,
Твої ніжні поплавці
У чиїсь міцній руці! Ей!
 
Маленька-маленька,
Ти тепер – земелька!
На твоїй гладкій лусці
Виростають острівці,
А малу рибину
Знову тягне на мілину... Ей!
 
Маленька-маленька,
Маленька-маленька,
Маленька-маленька рибка...

An Itsy-bitsy Fish

An itsy-bitsy fish,
Where is your depth?
What are you doin' here?
There's a problem with water here,
The sea is ankle deep here,
But there are whole barrels of grief! Hey!
 
An itsy-bitsy fish,
Water here is shallow and sticky.
The fishermen cast the fishing rods
at your chest,
And your gentle fins
are in someone's strong hand! Hey
 
An itsy-bitsy fish,
Now you are just soil!
On your smooth scales
Little isles are growing,
But the small fish
Is beckoned back to the shallows again... Hey!
 
An itsy-bitsy
An itsy-bitsy
An itsy-bitsy fish...

"There're" isn't standard English. Should either be "there are" or "there's" ("there's" can be used for both "there is" and "there are")

The fishermen cast the fishing rods on your chest - Sounds a bit odd... maybe "at" or "towards" your chest.

Beaconed - Beckoned?
Beckoned back to the shallows...

What good news! :) I was taught that "there is" is for single, and "there are" is for plural. :)

GavinGavin
   Joi, 21/06/2018 - 13:53

Yep, that's correct - but they both shorten to "there's". So when in doubt that's an easy cop out. :)

I think is sounds odd because of the “chest”. It sounds metaphorical in Ukrainian, but (IMHO) it’s a little awkward in other languages. If I would translate it to Russian, I wouldn’t use «грудки» (direct translation), it sounds strange. I would say something like (trying to keep it as short as original)

Заброшены удочки на/по твоё тельце
(Fishing) poles’ve been cast at/towards your little body

It’s just my opinion :)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 02:07

I would rather allude it to the soul (забросили удочки по твою душу), but you will not understand this :)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 02:14

You always get confused when it’s about душа, беда и разлука :)
And I don’t know how to say it in English (to begin with)....

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 02:36

Well, I don’t how ‘heart’ will sounds in English

My allusion to the soul was because of the:
Пришла смерть по её (рыбкину) душу
The death came to take her (little fishy’s) soul

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 02:46

No, no, its not in the song, I’m just trying to explain the soul thingy. The fishy is going to die, ‘the death will take her soul’ :(

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 04:16

Maybe in French, but not in Russian, at least not this one, though we have many more that might work for a love gone wrong :)

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:23

C'mon, guys... Most probably it's not about heart or soul. That's just a metaphor. "Fishermen cast their rods to catch you" and there's no hidden meanings at all ;)
Sometimes a banana is just a banana... :D

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 12:54

Of course, we know that, but heart and/or soul sound(s) so much more romantic, then banana :D

Oh I don't know... they can be quite "ap-peal-ing"!

Treugol'nyTreugol'ny    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 03:45

But the small fish
Is beckoned back ... It doesn't sound right to me. The fish is pulled back by something (destiny?), or the little fish has a death wish and attracted to the shallows. Anyway, if the little fish is beckoned back to the shallows, than by whom or by what?

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 04:30

I think that this particular kind of fishes is justvattracted to the shallow and go there to fulfill their (last?) wishes. So, one little fish died, but the ‘new’ small fish is going (back?) to the the same shallow just because :)

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:17

Some (almost all, actuallly) fishes shed their eggs in warm shallow waters (so them to have enough of Sun energy to grow into children-fishes ;) )

Treugol'nyTreugol'ny    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:45

You are missing the point. I didn't write about the the habits of the small fish. May be : the small fish keeps coming back to the shallows.

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:50

Translate this concept yourself: "Рыбку тянет на мель...". We don't mention what exactly dragging it to the shallows ;)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:56

Я если честно, насчёт beaconed/bekoned тоже не поняла, но не стала спорить, потому как носитель языка не возразил, а поправил. Но ему же тоже тяжело судить, он же не знает, что на самом деле происходит, может, рыбку коптят или Бэкон из неё делают :)

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 06:58

Я всегда в этом случае переводил что что-то "is beckoned" куда-то и мне никогда и никто из носителей не возражал :)

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 07:11

"бекон из рыбки" - хммм..., меня, как украинца, ваша идея привлекла! ))))))

Sorry, it was your idea - “beaconed‘“ :)

   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 07:07

Though I think we can say "The shallow water is still beckoning a little fish". What do you think?

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 08:56

I hope natives will not object, sounds much better to me, except for maybe a ‘small’ fish, because the little one’s already gone... :(
Or another little fish?

Treugol'nyTreugol'ny    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 10:44

I thought bacon is made from pig rather than fish.

А если несерьёзно, то если самогон можно гнать из табуретки, то почему бы не заменить рыбий жир на рыбье сало?

Много, много лет назад я с ребятами добавляли стакан сметаны в кружку пива и щепотку соли. Это чисто одесский рецепт. Попробуйте мужики, это вроде какой-то афродизиак. Жалко только, что сметана по советски была водой разбавлена, но ничего, другой не было.

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 13:30

Это для похудания ? Или чтоб стоял?

Мне этот рецепт советовали, чтоб вес набрать, но я не могу представить, как такое пить.

Н-да, пиво с мороженым намного приятнее

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 14:09

Спасибо за совет. Про соль знал, а вот сметана - это что-то новое ;)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 14:28

Я наоборот, про сметану знала, а соль зачем - для вкуса?

Alexander LaskavtsevAlexander Laskavtsev
   Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 15:04

Здесь - думаю да. Вообще соль, меняя плотность жидкости, из любой жидкости с растворёнными в ней газами эти газы выталкивает. В случае с пивом она создаёт дополнительную пену ;)

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 15:15

О, тогда соль - не для меня; не нравится мне пиво пенное;)

Но из-за всей этой научности, вспомнился закон Архимеда:
Тело, впёрнутое в воду,
Выпирает на свободу
С силой выпертой воды
Телом впёрнутым туды
(без значков - по памяти)

Treugol'nyTreugol'ny    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 22:02

Я Вам даю право разобраться для чего пиво со сметаной,
А для женщин очень вкусно пиво с лимонадом. Это у нас называется "Шанти"- очень вкусный напиток.

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Sâmbătă, 23/06/2018 - 22:27

Н-да, пиво с лимонадом наверное вкусно, но мне, пожалуйста - в разные стаканы ;)
А мужчины могут добавить к сметанке кинзу, устриц или Виагру - говорят, тоже помогает :)

Я уже вышла из возраста "молодежь", дети еще, слава Богу не доросли. (Кстати, Ваня не собирается употреблять алкоголь, судя по стихам, которые он пишет)

Я не пью алкогольные напитки дома, только безалкогольное пиво.

Also I remember we sang "Lady in red" by Chris de Burgh. Since that time I know, how to translate "the way you look tonight" (for then I had translated this in ukrainian as "the way you behave tonight" and naturally caused a lot of laughter ;) )

It’s more American, I think. It’s funny, but one guy (and he is a high level accountant, not a forklift driver) said the other day that he cannot watch British shows and movies because he doesn’t understand Brit’s accent :D

IgeethecatIgeethecat    Marţi, 26/06/2018 - 02:48

Nehhhh, from this side of the pond, it’s an accent or pronunciation (to be fair to Brits), but not the grammar —- Americans are very forgiving, or they would not have a soul to talk to :)

GavinGavin
   Marţi, 26/06/2018 - 09:14

It's just a case of divergent evolution. Brits generally understand Americans easily enough but then we consume so much of their media that it's hardly surprising.
Regional accents are another matter though and even Brits can struggle to understand the stronger accents. You can usually tune in after a bit though.
Scots? I'm not at all convinced they understand each other! ;)
Mind you, a soft Glaswegian accent makes me melt!

Thomas Dolby? Oh yes very much a Brit. I guess he's got a bit of a cod American accent there to match the electro funk sound.
It was just the Freud like analyst at the beginning that made me think of him. Particularly the "tell me about your childhood/mother" parts. Now he does have a bit of a fake German accent :)
