Inspired by the suggestion on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3186936.stm regarding online translators and translating the lyrics of pop and rock songs from English into German and back again to see if they can be recognised, and even though it isn't Friday, thought it may appeal to some of you.

So to start:

which is bad some things in the life, them, can furiously really form you, other fair things lets you schw50ren and verfluchen, if you murren, give, whistle cartilages of the life, not to chew you and this'll turn assistance things out for the best.

Answers on a posting....

Is the song in question.

I'll get a new song to play with soon

Nice one Iain, never woould have guessed that one.

I've got one for you guys:

On a wasteland highway ahed coolly wind hair, which grew collitas smell, which rise above by air, up in the distance, saw a shining light, my head heavily and my sight grew, had to stop it for the evening weakly, there stood in the entrance, with the mission flange, and I thought to me, which could be this sky, or this could be it the hell

I think this is easier than the last one, but hey, its the only song i knew the lyrics too............

anyway keep em coming guy's!!!!

Mike

Hotel California..............

"Dad who takes to me with this shield. I cannot use it more. It holds a too dark blackening, to see. believes how I strike the door of sky. "

Are we all using the same translator?

This was done with Babelfish

daveA

I was using dictionary.com

Don't think it should matter if we all use different ones - if we try to translate it back I suspect it will just get more and more obscure.

Caution: This game could reveal more than we wanted to about our ages....

IT HAS a SMILE THAT IS LOOKED Like ME REMEMBERS MEMORIES to ME of the CHILDHOOD WHEN EVERYTHING WAS AS FRESH AS a SKY. BLUE THEN BRILLIANT NOW and WHEN I SEE ITS FACE TAKES ME FAR PLACE to THAT SPECIAL and IF I WATCH FIXEDLY TOO MUCH OF LENGTH I ANALYZE and SHOUT PROBABLY YOUNG CANDY of the Oh Oh Oh MINE

Don't think it's too bad...

Damn, I'm so close on that last one, just can't quite get it...

;-)

John

Alright Guys,


Well Dave i believe the song in question would be Knocking on Heaven's Door. Iain i would say the one you submitted was Sweet Child of Mine. Incidently both by GNR. Am i wrong?

I use babelfish but am goig to try dictionary.com but i think we all going to get thee same results. I have another one for you guys:

When I was a child, whom I had a fever, my hands, which straight as too baloons, now has I are felt, this feeling again, I, you understand not this is, not as I cannot explain I am become easily deaf.

Lets see who gets this first

Comfortably Numb.

Pink Floyd.

Try this. Mangled with Portugese

WSeja year of the god - terrible the small substance to the girl of mousy for the hair but for its mummy not shout "not" and its dad said in it the end to only go its friend it must to noshyuere now be seen it who goes for one walked with its dream of the shields to the place with the clearest sight and is repaired to the silver screen but the film will be boron of the s for it squandered the 10 times or more it could cuspir tyue of the eyes of the fools in ratio they asks for, that one of ine focuses more more

DaveA

Dave,
i havent got the slightest clue on that one mate........

hint?

I didn't think that one was too mangled - suppose it's just down to what songs you like and know, and I was always a bit of a Bowie fan (up until Tin Machine!)

what an inspired game. This shouldn't be too difficult.

"Come here old flattop, if he come, slowly above joining him, joo joo eyeball, he received a holy role, which it thrashes hair to its knee received, fun bird to be received, it straight does, what it asks"

DaveC

That's an easy one...

John

It had fear to come out from the safe-deposit box it was so nervous, as it could be. It had fear to come out from the safe-deposit box. It had fear that someone would see. Two, three, four, explain to the people, what carried them.

"Yellow Polka Dot Bikini".

I'm not sure what's sadder, the fact that I guessed that or the fact that as your venerable administrator du jour I'm participating in this...

:-)

John

if you're gong to play, then play properly! :)

Great thread, has had me entertained for ages... try this one:

English to portuguese and back

"e while we roll for low in the road, our higher shades of the one than our souls, walk one lady there we who all know, that the white light shines and want it to show, as everything still turn for the gold"

my go... (cool game)

We are so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully pretty OH -, which you know that I would do everything for you we to dte huh us have should? We should to ripple/crinkle us above with cream then by the fire leave and sleep for one while it are grooviest thing, which is it the perfect dream

The cure

how about this :

And after all act of violence and ambiguous speech way are fair a song in the trouble and in the controversy there, which do you the way, do you the district


Best regards

DaveC :-)
