Perhaps I'm like John Smith, but I don't understand what she means by "the song of hope of the wolf that is dying of love!" Sorry Pocahontas! Why must you sing in riddles? A riddle is exactly what translating this was like. It wasn't easy. I think it came out pretty good, but it's not perfect. Please let me know (nicely!) what errors you find and I'll correct them. Some notes 0:03 I wasn't sure what to make of the definite article on ignorante. "The ignorant savage" didn't seem right and neither did no article (since French uses the article in many cases where English wouldn't). 0:08 She's referring to believing him so adding the you seemed appropriate even though there is none in French. 0:09 I chose the very literal translation for malveillance. You could also use malice, ill-will, etc. 0:43 Moi is stressing the meaning "I" which I think is well translated by "but I" 0:45 In French you have to have the article with every item in a list, not so in English. I chose to put the English with the articles since it's more poetic but it could also be "the stone, bird and flowers." 0:54 It's so punny! I used the word word bear and there's a bear there! xD porte could also mean carries. 1:03 You're questioning yourself would be a more literal translation. Idk why I didn't write that... 1:07 deep down inside of you, in your heart, etc. 1:24 I thought so hard over what the main line of this song means. I chose the safe translation, but there might be a better one out there. 2:00 Could be "daughter of torrents, the rivers' sister" and etc. 2:26 Pur means "pure, unspoiled" in this context and I used fresh because that's the expression English speakers use and it means virtually the same thing. Literally it would be pure air.
