The contrastive analysis of the songs from The Wizard of Oz (2011) with both the French subtitles (2013) and French stage adaptation (by Stéphane Laporte in 2014) shows that a singable translation is not limited to linguistic transfer. This study highlights the difficulties and requirements imposed by these two modes of translation (for instance, space and time constraints in the case of the former; rhythmic and musical constraints for the latter) to recreate this type of songs. Focusing on syllables and the rhyme, our comparison reveals that the subtitler and the stage adapter endeavor to preserve the rhythm, prosody, and singability of the original songs.
