La obra que elegí se llama "El rey enamorado", originalmente en español.

Para los que no conocen la obra, está en el siguiente link de youtube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=el+rey+enamorado+les+luthiers

Mi objetivo es traducir sólo el intercambio entre el rey y el juglar, sería lo siguiente:


Qué posibles traducciones (o transcreaciones) se les ocurren?
Dejen sus comentarios!

BUENISIMO aporte, me encanta Les Luthiers y he tenido con amigos miriadas de intentos de traducir algunos de sus chistes.

Muchas de sus creaciones de juegos de palabras más brillantes son de la colaboración con Fontanarrosa quien hizo de guionista de muchas de sus obras.

Este es un pequeño intento:

Troubadour: Being the fountain of sweetness

T: Being the roses of a bouquet

T: Being the nest of tenderness, oh Mary, ...I... love you
(The king wispers in the ear of the troubadour)
T: Oh Mary, HE loves you.
K: Love me, like I love you.
T: Love Him, like HE loves you.
