I was recently in Spain and my Spanish is native as well as my English, but I had the opportunity to attend the musical of the Lion King. I had already seen it in English and wanted to try it in Spanish, and although it is the same music the language change felt like total madness. Is this normal?

I haven't experienced this firsthand, but I always wondered about how a song is translated from one language to another. Like, if the words rhyme in English, are they modified in the other language to also somehow rhyme?

I haven't experienced something like this actually so can't say! Kinda want to now, it must have been a weird experience

I love running and taking classes on the Peloton in different languages. Other languages do not translate word from word and often don't have words that translate in English. I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and placed out of my first year and college so took it Spanish 2 in college. I still can pick up on some Spanish but they really have to speak slowly bc I cant translate it so quickly. if it's written for me it is so much easier for me to translate.

Completely normal. Most of the message gets lost in translation if you try so hard to stick to the literal conveyance of the lyrics. The translators have to twist the words so it makes more sense in the language they're being transferred to.

Nope! I have watched the Lion King Musical in English too and it was nothing short of amazing. If given a chance to watch it in another language, I would also grab the opportunity. Enjoy!!

Was it a good kind of change or was it bad? I'm betting that it was a great change since usually things that are sang in one's native language sound better and more heartfelt. Totally does that when I listen to stuff in my own language.

Lion King is one of those classics that's basically a part of us. I would imagine hearing the music in a different way than you have heard it hundreds of times before (....if you're like me) would feel off. Enjoy getting to experience the magic of the Lion King all over again :)

Hmm. My experience was just the same even if the language was different. I'd watch it again in another language if given the chance.
