Hi Everyone - I just found this forum, it looks great! So I wanted to start contributing right away:
Every now and then I translate some theme songs from classic TV shows into Latin for a bit of fun - getting them to fit and rhythm and rhyme in the same places. Here's one I recently translated - It's the theme for the original Scooby-Doo TV show. Sing along if you know the tune (Here's a link to a clip of the original theme if you want to sing along!)
Scooby Doo Theme Lyrics – Original Version
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, ubi tu?
Nobis est laborandum,
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, ubi tu?
Tibi est adiuvandum.
Age Scooby-Doo, adventu, in vestigium simulas,
Non decepisti, ego sensi, quemadmodum cohorrescas.
Mysterium est aperiendum,
Sic Scooby-Doo adparatus esto,
Petito!
Et Scooby-Doo, empto curru,
Dabitur cibus cuidam catulo,
(Sic vero!)
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Hic es tu!
Es paratus et libens,
Si fidus eris tu, Scooby-Doo,
Capietur auferens.
Check out the blog I started where I post all of these (http://tvthemesinlatin.blogspot.com) - Feel free to take a look, make suggestions, or just complain about how you don't agree with my grammatical choices!
(P.S. I wasn't sure if this was the right part of the forum to post this in, but I'm sure people will tell me if it's not!)
