I DON'T UNDERSTAND


HI GUYS!

HOJE GOSTARIA DE PASSAR UMA PALAVRA

DE "CONFORTO" PARA
AQUELES QUE ESTÃO

ESTUDANDO INGLÊS E DIZEM QUE ÀS VEZES

NÃO
ENTENDEM TUDO O QUE SE FALA EM

FILMES OU EM LETRAS DE MÚSICAS.

VEJA O QUE EU ENCONTREI

NA BBC NEWS!


Lista revela letras das canções que os britânicos mais erram

Letra do REM ficou em primeiro lugar entre as mais mal compreendidas

Uma pesquisa encomendada por um fabricante de remédios para o ouvido elaborou uma lista das música cujas letras os britânicos mais confundem.

A letra na qual os fãs mais escorregam é The SidewinderSleeps Tonite, sucesso dos roqueiros americanos REM, lançado em 1993.

O trecho da letra que tende a ser mal compreendido é "call me when you try to wake her", que a maioria dos britânicos entende como "calling Jamaica".

Em tradução literal, a letra original diz "ligue-me quando tentar acordá-la". Mas o público ouve "ligando para a Jamaica".

Três mil pessoas foram entrevistadas como parte da pesquisa, que faz parte de uma campanha para conscientizar a população sobre a necessidade de evitar o acúmulo de cerume no ouvido.

Um total de 41% admitiram que não conseguem ouvir trechos das letras e simplesmente "embromam" - ou seja, substituem as palavras com palavras alternativas.

Diversão

Os resultados podem ser cômicos.

A canção Purple Haze, do americano Jimi Hendrix, ficou em segundo lugar na lista graças à frase "excuse me while I kiss the sky", que muitos britânicos ouvem como "excuse me while I kiss this guy’’.

Ou seja, o original diz algo como "com licença enquanto eu beijo o céu", mas, para muitos, a frase soa como "com licença enquanto eu beijo esse cara".

Canções das bandas britânicas Take That e Queen, além de um sucesso de John Travolta e Olivia Newton John no filme Grease, se classificaram nas dez primeiras posições da lista.

No caso da canção Dancing Queen, do grupo sueco Abba, o trecho "dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine" tende a ser confundido por "dancing queen, feel the beat from the tangerine".

Em tradução livre: em vez de "rainha da pista de dança, sinta a batida do pandeiro", muitos ouvem "rainha da pista de dança, sinta a batida da tangerina".

Em nono lugar na parada das mal compreendidas ficou a canção Smells Like Teen Spirit, do Nirvana.

Em vez de "here we are now, entertain us", muitos ouvem "here we are now, in containers". O original "aqui estamos, entretenha-nos" vira "aqui estamos, em containers".
