Blog index

Just like the two other blogs, this blog will also have an index. I don't think it'll ever have a spoiler, because these analyses are unplanned, and even if there are some I'd like to post, I definitely won't plan an order for them. At the moment, i.e. as of posting the index, there are only two posts, and the blog was opened less than a month ago.
UPDATE: There are now, on 18/10/21 at 1:08 am, 16 posts, and I am going to add a second tab where they are ordered by languages, with spoilers for each language's planned posts.

  2.

Lingála: Sáleláká Mokonzi, or the most deformed song in the whole web

Yes: like the previous post, this is kind of nonstandard, and an African song from the CL songbook. In fact, I may have mentioned it beyond the fact that it was in the songbook. The title is in the post title, and it means "Continuously work for the Lord". This was well-known in my CL community, so I knew it existed, and was even able to sing a more or less accurate version of it, since a very young age. I remember seeing its lyrics in the songbook as far back as summer 2010, when I realized there was a verse 3 which apparently didn't fit the tune I knew. Considering that, as my video of the song shows, the tune changes drastically from verse 2 to verse 3, that is no surprise. Anyway, fast forward to Saturday, Sep 21 2019. I told this bit of the story in the other post: travelling back to L'Aquila, where I study, with my parents, who were coming to the SIF meeting that was to be held the following week, and the song somehow came up in our conversation.

Albanian: Mike

Today we have a song suggested to me by my advisor, namely Mike , "Female friend". Here's the Google-Musixmatch lyrics, which were my starting point, with a correction (see below), sided with this translation : *Hey ti mike Ditën kur më the se ike Zërin dhe shpirtin ma fike E kam ditë ti nuk vjen mo Ti shkove Në qytet tjetër u ndodhe Dhe gjysmën time e more E kam ditë nuk vjen mo Ai s'din sa du Me kë rrin me ditë sa du Ku je tash me ditë sa du #Si ndalum ditët ikën Asnjëherë me nuk u lidhën Jemi rritë tani my baby Ndonjeherë më merr Malli për ty më merr O sa shumë më merr Historia na ndau Po sikur ne të ishim bashkë A thu do ishim dashtë... * Drinking the night away All the memories I replay I kërkoj por ty nuk të gjej # M'ki pas 2000 puthje ngat Tash m'ki 2000 puthje larg 2000 puthje larg Tik, tik, tik, tik-tak Zemrës mos i jep ti attack Ooo nah nah Vetë ti ike e na le nah nah Afër meje mo nuk je nah nah Po du me ditë
