Seriously.... it makes sense to me that "songs" and chants tend to be made about individuals a people admire so I can see how linguistically the term could overlap. Languages are full of idiomatic expressions that don't really mean what their "literal" translation might imply or be subtly different. |
Like what they did with one of those hand held English - Russian translating devices. They translated the old saying "Out of sight, Out of mind" to Russian and back to English. What they got back was "Invisible, Insane." A literal translation that is very different from the actual meaning.
