There is an old Brazilian song for kids that always makes me smile, sweetie... Its name is "The History Of A Kitten" and my favorite
verses
since my earlier childhood are:
"WE, CATS, WERE BORN IN POVERTY HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!! MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD... FELINE, YOU WON'T RECOGNIZE!!!"
Nobunaga Oda's translation for the last verse sounds much more precise. I made a too literal and weak translation, and changed it twice before posting:
I'm kinda confused. Is that a brazilian song, or japanese poem or both or? Some link to the original will be appreciated =)
I was confused also, actually I probably caused or at least contributed to the confusion. I used to read a lot of Koike & Kojima manga :) Oda was a bloodthirsty fucker, just like all the daimyo at that period in history. Just like all the billionaires and leaders of nations of today. I would also like to see the whole original, in English though please, if possible. I haven't searched for it yet.
"WE, CATS, WERE BORN IN POVERTY HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!! MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD... WE, FELINES, WON'T RECOGNIZE!!!"
I will try another easier version, Nobunaga... :)
"WE, CATS, WERE BORN POOR HOWEVER, WE WERE BORN FREE!!! MISTER, MISSES, LANDLORD... WE, FELINES, WON'T RECOGNIZE THEM!!!"
Thanks for the lovely suggestion, dear!!! Love you and your
family!!! <3
Take care, please!!!
