This is amazing! Not only translating it and keeping the meaning and intention but also making that fit the form of the song is insanely difficult. Well done😊

Makes sense given modern English comes from a mixture of previous versions of English combined with Latin, French and germanic languages so modern English shares so of the rhythm and patterns of German making it easier to keep the same rhythm when translated

@FelixEvers06

@@naturelassYeah, but it definitely has more French in it, and the grammar and syntax changes quite a bit. Translating this to Dutch, for example, would be a lot easier, as it has basically the same syntax as German (with a few small exceptions). The vocabulary is also a lot closer together. (Native Dutch speaker btw, I know enough German to be able to mostly understand the original song)

It's easier to go from Germanic languages that from a Romance to a Germanic. Which is why in French/Spanish translation into English it can be hard to preserve rhythm and rhyme and also viceversa. Shakespeare is trash in Spanish.

It's cool that this works as a tongue twister in English as well as German

From Wikipedia (for anyone else unfamiliar): “Barbapapa is a 1970 children's picture book by the French-American couple Annette Tison and Talus Taylor, who lived in Paris, France. Barbapapa is both the title character and the name of his "species". The book was the first of a series of children's books originally written in French and later translated into over 30 languages.” The title character is the one she has drawn on the whiteboard.

As a wannabe translator, it amazes me to see your effort on this!!!! Keeping the same meaning, rhyming AND doing it all in a way that fits the metric of the song is extremely hard. Congratulations!!!

This is an impressive translation. To keep the meaning and hit the rhythm like this is really awesome. I did not think the song might work in English but I like ethis version a lot!

Translation is such a skill all on its own and then to add the additional layers of trying to preserve both the music and the tongue twister elements on top of that *and* a delightful video???? Mad skills!

👏 translating a song is not easy, especially a German tongue twister song! You have a nice voice and very good diction. Very well done 👍

this is the best thing i've seen/heard in a long time. Thank you for translating

That was incredible! And incredibly difficult. Props were top notch h too. Well done!

Damn that translation is spot on. Great job.

The whole dam song is a Tongue twister even in the English version.. amazing

The B that got stuck had me laughing 😃. This was amazing.

The fact that it’s a younger twister in English too 😂😂 (probably because English is a Germanic language but it’s cool)

Excellent work! This put a smile on my face 😂

That translation is bombastic! Truly magical.

Your face at the end, glorious. And a a German mother tongue speaker, it sounded really a cheeky as the original Text❤

Now I understand. Thank you, this is brilliant.

I love your kitchen layout!

You’re a goddess for giving us both the extended version and the translation

Well fricken done. Also been wanting a translation so thanks.

I’m impressed. She did it so well I could hear.

I can respect this! Catches most of the jokes very well in spirit

This is really impressive I’ve seen a lot of songs translate to English and it doesn’t sound the same but this one sounds almost like exactly the same which is really impressive!

I am very much impressed. Not only because the translation is very good and keeps all the notions of the original, but the performance especially. I dare say it is even a step up, because of the different pronounciation. Very well done! I hope Bodo sees this ;)

This is what I've been waiting for! Both versions are great

Finally someone did this well!!!! You go girl!

very fun and you kept the rhythm very well while still maintaining the spirit of the story, you should be proud

Oh this is very good! A good translation and adaption. I am such a fan!
