Trejdeviņa valstī

English translation: In a land far far away

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Latvian term or phrase: Trejdeviņa valstī English translation: In a land far far away Entered by: Jana Teteris

Latvian to English translations [PRO] Art/Literary - Music
Latvian term or phrase: Trejdeviņa valstī Strādāju pie latviešu simfoniskās mūzikas bibliogrāfijas un tagad esmu sastapusies ar skaņdarbu (komponists - Sergejs Krasnopjorovs), kas saucas 'Trejdeviņa valstī'. Cits to ir iztulkojis kā 'In the Land of Trējdeviņi' ..... (bet pie reizes ir atstājis to zem jautājuma zīmes). Man arī tas diez ko nepatīk. Vai kādam ir kādi ģeniāli priekšlikumi, kā varētu iztulkot šo skaņdarbu? Man pašai gribas to tulkot tā, ka tiek aprakstīts vārds 'trejdeviņi' (no pasakām 'aiz trejdeviņu kalniem un trejdeviņu jūrām). Angliski varētu būt 'In a land, far far away'. Gaidīšu iedvesmi no kolēģiem!
