Lost in Translation
I loved this game when it was first posted a few years back, so I thought I'd revive it!
The rules are pretty easy:
Choose a song, find the lyrics, and copy them into Google Translate. No songs w/ explicit lyrics, obviously.
Translate the lyrics from English to another language. The less like English it is, the better.
Now translate them back to English and post 'em here. You can give us the title or we could try and guess it.
And that's it! Here's a favorite of mine, translated from English to Malagasy and back again. Any guesses? (If it's too tricky, we can try again with a different one.)
I am determined
No need to think about it anymore
If I am wrong, I am right
Look no further
This is not a bad idea
I know it's love but
If I speak to the world
I will never say
That's why I didn't tell you
And that is exactly what I should do
If I love you
Should I leave
Or should I just chase down the street?
Although it does not lead anywhere
Or will it be wasted?
Even if I know my location, do I leave it there?
Should I leave
Or should I just chase down the street?
Even if it doesn’t lead anywhere

We Will Rock You! (by Queen, I think?) Fun fact: My 5th grade class learned how to play this song on the recorder!
(September 6, 2020 - 7:07 am)
This one is really easy, it's hard to scramble. I can't even count how many languages I did!
I don't like anything anymore
Downtown and better than the poor and needy
They sat in the car and stared
And students who live together
Just watching what they say
Philip finds Shuiler: The man is charged
Uh-oh, but he doesn't know much
His daughters are Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Go secretly around town to see all the kids
Work, work!
Only white!
Work, work!
Eliza!
Peggy!
Work, work!
Sisters Shuiler!
Only white!
Peggy!
Eliza!
Earn!
His father said he would go home at sunset
I do not care
Dad told me not to go downtown
So you are free
But look around, look around
The revolution will take place in New York
new York
Only white
Earn!
Too bad I want to go to war
People shouted on the spot
There is violence on our shores
New ideas in the air
Look around, look around
Angelica, remember me. what are we looking for ...
He is looking for me!
Eliza, I'm looking for an idea to work on (work, work!)
I am looking for an idea to work with! (Work, work!)
I am looking for an idea to work with! (Work, work!)
Awesome!
Awesome!
Earn!
O God! There is nothing like summer in the city
A man treats himself around a man who looks very beautiful
Sorry, ma'am, I know this is not funny
But your perfume is like your father’s fragrance and money
Why are you in the neighborhood and your favorite heels
Looking for a hedgehog that will give you this ideal?
Burr, you're out of me
Oh, so you discuss me
I believe, my dear, you can trust me!
I read Thomas Payne’s common sense
So men say I’m violent or crazy
Do you want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my statement:
“It just came to our attention
All men are equal
But when I met Thomas Jefferson
Ui!
I made it to the women’s end!
Earn!
Look around, look around
Thank God we are alive now!
Look around, look around
Thank God we are alive now!
History happens in Manhattan and we are there
In the biggest city in the world!
In the biggest city in the world!
Because I read Thomas Payne’s common sense (Look around, look around) {Hey! Hi there! Hi there! Hi there!}
So men call me violent or crazy (Revolution is happening) {Hey! Hi there! Hi there! Hi there!}
Do you want a revolution? I want a revelation (New York! In New York!) {Look around, see the revolution happening}
So listen to my statement:
[
We understand this evidence to understand that all men are created equal (look around, look around)
Oh! (Happy to live now)
Look around, look around to see how happy we are to live now!
History happens in Manhattan and we are there
In the largest city in the world
In the biggest city
In the biggest city in the world!
Work, work!
Only white!
Work, work!
Eliza!
Peggy!
Work, work!
Sisters Shuiler!
Work, work!
We are looking for an idea to work with! (Work, work!)
Hi there! (Work, work!)
Hi there! (Work, work!)
Hi there! (Work, work!)
{Wow!} (Creates, creates!) (Creates, creates!)
In the biggest city
{In} The largest city in the world {The city in the world}
In the biggest city in the world!

"Only white" what the heck <XD
"Looking for a hedgehog who can give you this ideal"
"So men call me violent or crazy"

*laughs head off* hedgehog! And only white... I don’t even want to know how google got to that!

Oh sure.
Bangla to Dutch, to Danish, Then to Greek and back to English.
yes, the wind's blowing a little cold.
And we're all growing up.
And the clouds keep moving with the wind every fall.
Peter Pumpkin just healed.
And my side is a little sad and smart.
That's why I trust some security.
yes, some things never change.
I feel like your hand.
Some things remain the same.
Like how we can go the right way
Like an old stone wall that will never be read.
Some things are always true
Some things never change.
It's like I'm holding you.
Pages are already dropping
Sven, it looks like the future will be.
Are you saying tonight you're on your knees?
yes, but I'm bad at doing these things.
Like lighting candles and pulling out the ring
[Sven:]
Maybe you'll put all the romantic things in my hands.
yes, some things never change.
Like I feel the love for him.
Some things remain the same.
Like how light the deer is.
But if I commit and I do.
I know what to say and what to do.
Right?
Some things never change.
Sven, you're under pressure.
The wind is blowing.
Is that why I'm listening to this call?
Is something coming?
I don't know if I want to change everything.
These days are precious.
They can't go.
I can't hold on right now.
But I can still go out there and get this day.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
The wind's blowing a little cold.
And you all look a little older.
It's time to count our blessings.
Under the autumn sky
We'll always live in a lot of states.
It's good and represents a lot of
And I promise you, the Flag of Aneldale will always fly.
Our flag will always fly.
Our flag will always fly.
Our flag will always fly.
Some things never change.
Turn around and time's up.
Some things remain the same.
Although the future remains unknown
We're lucky we lost.
Let's go through our past.
Time passes quickly, it's true.
Some things never change.
And I got you.
I'm waiting tight.
I'm waiting tight.
I'm waiting tight.
I got you.

I don't know the exact name of the song, but it's that one from the beginning of Frozen II.
(September 6, 2020 - 11:56 pm)
You are correct! "Some things never change" From Frozen II!
(September 7, 2020 - 12:10 pm)
Bakerloo, yours is Chasing Pavements by Adele, I am so confident. I love that song!

I know this song, my parents play it all the time, but until today I never knew that it is called. . . Pretty Pimpin? How odd
"Who is the man who closes the toilet?" XD
(September 7, 2020 - 6:34 pm)
This is hilarious
I have kept the letters you wrote me
Since then I have read it
I knew it was mine
You told me it was me
I thought you were mine
You know what Angelica says,
When do we know your message has arrived?
He says, notice, we are loved
He made a living
You and your words filled my mind
I have not deviated from your judgments
Do not build a palace with music
You built the church
I will also read the letters you wrote to me
I searched for answers in each line
With some kind of power
And to you it is to me
The earth can be burned up
Cross over
He has published letters for you
You told the whole world
How do you take this girl to bed
Delete your name
He has ruined our lives
You know what Angelica says
When reading your work?
He said he was married to Icarus
He stood up in the sun
You and your words add to your inheritance
Your names are unlimited
You are confused about each song
How will they see you?
You, you, you!
I erased the story
Future writers wondered how Eliza
Answer
When you break his heart
He ripped it all off
I look hot
Find out how to heat it up
The world has no balance in my heart
There is no place in the world for a bed
They don't need to know what I said
I burn memories
Emails you may have saved
All rights have been in my heart
You lost your chair in your bed
It is better to sleep in the office
Previous memories
I hope you smoke

"Burn," from Hamilton, originally performed by Philippa Soo, playing the character of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. Dolphin, that is so hilarious I can't even describe it XD
(September 7, 2020 - 10:19 am)
I know, right?! Especially ‘I am hot’ and ‘I hope you smoke’! I’ve noticed that google switches around genders a lot... I wonder why? (I’ve done some other songs but they’ve all been long and I didn’t want to post them.{It’s Quiet Uptown is hilarious[Especially because of the song]})
(September 7, 2020 - 12:37 pm)
You lost your chair in your bed.
That is absolutely beautiful.
