Incorrect translation of "Little Drummer Boy"

[edit]

I'm not sure what the previous editor(s) of the article meant by

"Menino Pequeño Da Baterista" (mistitled "Menino Pequeno Da Bateria"[1])

In the second line of "Background," it used to be written just as it is in the track listing, as "Menino Pequeño Da Baterista." I changed that however, thinking it was just an improper translation. But then I saw it was written like that in the track listing too. This is why I'm bringing this up in the Talk Page. I am Brazilian and a fluent Portuguese speaker. "Menino Pequeño Da Baterista" does not make any sense. It's like it's saying "The female drummer's little boy."(I say female because the possessive pronoun "Da" implies it's a woman drummer not a man. Had you been referring to a man drummer, you would've said "Do Baterista") Also, it looks like it's in Spanish, not Portuguese? There are no tildas on the letter 'n' in Portuguese. Not to mention, that's not the name of the song. If you check, you'll see it is called "Menino Pequeno Da Bateria." Not "Baterista" but "Bateria" and no tilda in "Pequeno". "Baterista" means drummer, whereas "bateria" means drums. A proper translation back into English would be "Drummer Little Boy," where "drummer" is an adjective describing "little boy." To remain on par with the English name, where "Little" is an adjective of "Drummer Boy," the song should've been translated as "Pequeno Menino da Bateria" instead, when Bola Sete wrote it, but this is beyond the point. I just want to say the editor's translation, or writing, is improper. I've checked the reference [1] in the Track Listing the editor seemed to be using as justification. It leads to a website also referring to the name as "Menino Pequeno Da Bateria." So, I do not know what the editor was referring to. Anyone care to elaborate?

Hi - I added the AI generated tag here regarding the edits by Wk3v78k23tnsa, which display many indications of potential LLM use, as do their other Charlie Brown edits -- at least one of which contains what seem to be blatant hallucinations. Thus they need extra review for accuracy, tone, sourcing, AI editorializing/original research, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 00:37, 3 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
