One of the ways I study Arabic
is through watching cartoons and movies and TV shows
today we're going to be translating a Disney film called 'Frozen'
you might have heard of it, in Arabic it's actually called this:
'malikat athulj'
that means snow queen
malika: queen
and thulj: snow
malikat athulj: snow queen
and we're just going to be going through a dialogue
looking at the Arabic, the English and translating it together
I'd just like to say, Disney, please don't remove this video
it's fair use policy, it's for educational purposes, I'm using a tiny clip
so with that said and done...
let's go
okay and we're rolling
this is my screen
and we are at 0 seconds
let's go ahead and find out what the first line is
ln puts a verb in the future so....
she said la ln yaHduth
no, it won't happen la ln yaHduth
al wadaa3 means goodbye
bye, Ana
bye I'm going
Elsa mahlan not so fast Elsa, slow down, take it easy, relax
laa annanee uHawilu Himaiyatak
I
la - no
I
uHaawilu Himiyatak I'm trying to protect you
Himaya protection
I'm trying to protect you
laysa 3alayki Himiyati you don't need to protect me
ana lastu khaa'ifa
so ba3d means far
arjooki la tuba3deeni min jadeed
this means please (arjouki)
very formal way of saying please arjouki
don't separate us again, don't distance yourself from me, don't leave me
wa la tughlaq al-baab
don't close the door
aghlaqa is to close
albaab the door
good key words, huh?
that's a long one
wa la tatrukeeni waHadee ba3d al-aan
don't leave me
by myself
again
ba3d al-aan again
taraka is the verb 'to leave'
so ana atruk - I'm leaving
taraka he left
now because she's a female, she's adding the ya, noon at the end of the verb
waHdee means by myself
ba3d al-aan means don't leave me by myself again
la tatrukeeni wAhdee ba3d al-aan
fa li-awaali yawmin ba-3amri
awal is first
yawm is day
bi-3amri... in my life
another... lots of ways of saying life in Arabic
Haya is probably the most common
in this example she's saying 3amri
awali she's adding the ee on the end, don't worry too much about that but she's saying:
fa li-awaali yawmin ba-3amri
afhamu ma khalf il-baab I understand what's behind the door
afham I understand
ma khalf what's behind
khalf is behind
amaam in front, khalf behind
wa li-awali yamin ba-3amri same again
yumkinna il-iqtiraab
we can be together again
qareeb means close
iqtiraab is like to bring together, we can be close together again
yumkinna il3aodatu ma3an
litatrukee ilaHzaan
we can go back together
we, yumkinnana
the 'na' makes it we
il-3aadatu ma3an together
we can return together, we can go back together
litatrukee ilaHzaan
it's that word again taraka / yatruku
to leave the sadness, leave ilaHazaan, sadness
taraka, can leave the sadness
that's very sweet qalbi lik al-aan
'albi they might say as well in some countries
qalbi/albi means heart
qalbi lak al aan you can guess what that means
my heart is yours now, its' very romantic (phrase)
and with that said qalbi lak al aan on that very...
loving and romantic note, we're going to end it there
I'm going to make a part 2 to this, it will be up there as soon as it's done
there's so much to talk about in such a short clip
