Silly Lion King Post
I really like the older translations of Disney songs. Nowadays, at least the German ones, seem to be much more literal translations but in the 90s, they actually took some liberties.
In Simba's Pride in We Are One there is the line "even those who are gone, are with us as we go on, your journey has only begun". Kind of generic, communicates legacy. In the German version? Simba directly references his own, eventual death. "And when I'm gone, I'll stay a part of you, to always be there for you".
The French version of Can you feel the Love tonight is sweepingly romantic. "Love shines under the stars, illuminating their hearts".
In the German version of the song, one of the final lines translates to "finally one, in the safety of darkness" which is …an interesting choice for a Disney film, considering what "becoming one" in the context of romance can be referring to. Okay, I 'll get my mind out of the gutter now. Sorry for nerding out XD
