Sacrifice is going on tonight

Number of animals 666

Alright, here's a few lines from "(Nothing But) Flowers" by Talking Heads:

Years ago I was an angry young man
I'd pretend that I was a billboard
Standing tall by the side of the road
I fell in love with a beautiful highway

Perhaps you can turn Melvins lyrics into English this way

Melvins - Hooch

Exit ease my ray day member half lost a beat away
Purst in like a one-way sender
War give a heart like a fay

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - My Human Gets Me Blues

(lyrics changed from the original notation to complete words like 'n to and)

Well the way you'd been old lady
I could see the fear in your windows
Under your furry crawling brow
A silver bow rings up in inches
You were afraid you'd be the devils red wife
But it's alright God dug yer dance
And would have you young and in his harum
Dress you the way he wants cause he never had a doll
Cause everybody made him a boy
And God didn't think to ask his preference

To Swahili
To Albanian
To Japanese
To Danish
To Yiddish
To French
And back to English

I can see the fear in your window
Crawl under the stars furred your
Rainbow ring silver white
You are you, women are afraid red devil, they
But that's okay, God has dug a drum yours
And her young, and will hold its
He was a doll dressed as he wants
It was sunny all
I did not think to ask his favorite God

I wouldn't have thought to ask his favourite God either, tbh.

Alphabet The Twilight Sad....

We put them in the park and we told them to hold on tight
Let go of them, let go of them, let go of them

'Cause you are their night
The ones that holy eyes will chase
And just the right height
Struggling as always

And we were just across the road
Now that you're colder, now that you're colder

So sick to death of the sight of you now
Safe to say never wanted you more
And you asked for one more go

English to Spanish
Spanish to Greek
Greek to Italian
Italian to Portuguese
Portuguese to Lithuanian
Lithuanian to English
=

Put them in the park and told them that
Drops them, let them go, let them go

Since you have your night
Those who seek the sacred eye
And only the amount
Struggling as always

And we were the other side of the road
Now, what is cooler now that it is cooler

So tired of seeing now
This means that I never wanted more
And ask for a referral

For extra credit I had the jive translator give me it's version too...

Put dem in de park and told dem dat Drops dem, let dem go, let dem go Since ya' gots' yo' night Dose who seek de sacred eye And only de amount Strugglin' as always And we wuz de oda' side uh de road Now, whut be coola' now dat it be cooler So tired uh seein' now Dis means dat ah' neva' wants'ed mo'e And ax' fo' some referral

Pat the bunny - A Song for A Netflix Account

I lay down an awful wreck, pissing out my window and smoking in bed. The good don't die young, they just haven't had time to **** up the same as the rest of us yet. I want nothing, nothing at all. I'd be driving drunk if I still got drunk. Rev the ignition, straight on to oblivion. Into a void as pure as they come.

english > macedonian > spanish > zulu > spanish > english

I give a serious accident, peeing outside my window and smoking in bed. The good die young, just have not had time to **** like we are now. I want nothing, nothing. I drive drunk, even if I'm drunk. Rev ignition, and then directly to the monster. The gap as clean as they come.

Cannibal Corpse - "Orgasm Through Torture"


Suffer to survive
Instinct I despise

Stalking the night, searching for a victim to defile
Cock she craves today
Cum she wants to spray
And to reach the orgasm through torture

From behind, pain shivering down my spine
I feel paralyzed, only controlling my mind

Strapped to the table, naked, genitals exposed
Eyes clamped open, mouth gagged shut, terrified
Locks my scrotum in a vice tightens forcefully
Agony, silent screams, want to die

Shackled and bound, unaware my fate
Destined to be maimed to stimulate

The skin is peeled off my dick
Done with a razor blade
She begins to suck
Blood and *** amok
She rips my cock off with her teeth
Masticate, gnawing and chewing the stump
She regurgitates, I'm covered in my bloody chunks

Suffer to survive
Instinct I despise

I am alive, victimized
Tortured fate, asexual state


*Google Translate*


Write to live
Instinctive aversion

Stalking nights, searching for victims of the contaminated
Cock greed Day
Vice-President wants to spray
To achieve orgasm through torture

Back pain chills up my spine
I felt paralyzed and my mind control

Link to the negotiating table, naked, genitals exposed
Keep your eyes and firmly gagged scared to open his mouth
His scrotum tightened bolt locks and steel
Agony, screaming in the silence, I want to die

Chains and know my fate
Designed to encourage disabled

The skin comes off my cock
made with a razor blade
They start to suck
Monitoring of blood and semen
Turn on his dick with her teeth,
Chewing, chewing, chewing and trucks
He shoots and I in the blood,

Write to live
Instinctive aversion

I am the victim alive
Torture, the fate of asexual

The Smiths - "Still Ill"

Ask me why, and I'll die
Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
And if you must, go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?

I'll give this the Nordic treatment; English to Norwegian, Norwegian to Swedish, then to Danish, to Finnish, to Icelandic and then, finally, back to English. Here goes..!

Ask me why, and I will die
Oh, do not ask me why, and I will die
And if you have to go to work - tomorrow
Well, if I were you I would not bother
It has a brighter side of life
And I should know, because I've seen them
But not very often
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And even though I ended up with sore lips
It was like the old days anymore
No, it's not like the days
I'm still sick?

Well, that's disappointing.

Lana Del Rey - Cola

My pussy taste like Pepsi-Cola,
My eyes are wide like cherry pies.
I gots a taste for men who're older
It's always been, so it's no surprise.

Spanish > Swahili > Italian > German > Maltese > English

My white pussy of Pepsi-Cola,
My eyes are open, such as cherry pies.
I have a preference for people who are older
It always was, is amazing.

Elliott Smith - Waltz #2

Now she's done, and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
'Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Can't you tell that it's well understood?

English > Spanish > Dutch > Swedish > Portugese > English

Now, she has done and call someone
A familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
Because I'm good hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good
You can not say that it is well understood?



Not a whole lot of a difference.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

> Belarusian > German > Portugese > Igbo > Mongolian > Zulu > Greek > Spanish > English

But whisper bites threats
The queen is the only pure source.
So go, and in the end, there are two
There is still time to change the road.
Yo, I think.

Your head does not even know if this will be the way
Industry called before
Honey, you can hear the wind, you know
You are up, and the spirit of the book?

The first one to say these lyrics are gibberish before even being translated gets a slap! ;)

Script for a jester's tear --- Marillion

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken heart;
One more experience, one more entry in a diary self-penned.
Yet another emotional suicide; overdosed on sentiment and pride.
Too late to say I love you, too late to restage the play:
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday.
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts:
Too much, too soon, too far to go too late to play:
The game is over.


Esperanto to Yiddish to Swedish to Turkish to Somali to Hungarian to Irish to Norwegian to Bulgarian to Czech to Chinese (traditional) to Zulu to Latin to Welsh to Hindi to Mongolian to Ukranian and back

So here I am once more in the playgrounds of the broken Heart 1;
One more Experience, one more entry in a diary self-penned.
Yet another emotional suicide; overdosed on sentiment and pride.
Too far to say 1 Jove, you, too wide to restage the play:
Abandoning the left on my playgrounds of yesterday.
I'm losing on the swinger, I'm losing on the roundabouts;
Too much, too soon, too grits to go too far to play;
Today's game is over.


Doesn't change that much really does it? :confused:
Proof that Marillion are great in any language!
Or that nobody understands their lyrics.
Shut up, Urban! ;)

Lisnaholic 01-26-2014 09:11 AM

This is such a great thread! Kudos to rostasi for dipping into Hmong, and Mondo B for Igbo.

Does anyone else think the gibberish lyrics are almost always better than the originals (- except for the Beefheart, of course)?

Couldn't help myself

What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

Yiddish->German->Somali->Lao->Icelandic->Haitian Creole->Hindi->Hmong->English

We talk to you
Because these things slowly, creeping things, a vision
I sleep, out in the contract,
And the vision that has planted in my brain
However, it also
The sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked in line
Cobbled,
"Information about the Halo
I cold wetness on my collar
I wrote and published a flash of light night
Touched the sound of silence.

I thought I´d try with one of Syd Barrett´s most cryptic verses:-

Bam, spastic, tactile engine
heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham
I'll have them, fried bloke
broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, moocho, paki, pufftle
sploshette moxy, very smelly,
cable, gable, splintra, channel
top the seam he's taken off


This passage is so bizarre that I hoped translating to English would make some changes, though surprisingly not; all the words were accepted as being English.

After running it through Cebuano, Italian and Latin, it came back to English as:-

Bam, spastic, whole body except as mahikap Makino
mobanlas healthy body only as SA, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham
Ko Sila, fritto Titii
Jardy his Cardy, smoocho, mooch, Paki, pufftle
sploshette moxy, whole body except as baho kaayo,
Hole, eardrum, splintra, deals
ibabaw ako siya confronted tinahian gikuha


( I noticed in passing that "Bam" is an extraordinarily resilient, international word - something worth remembering next time you visit a foreign country. )

Tried another one, using Pink Floyd lyrics this time...

Pink Floyd - "Welcome to the Machine"

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.

English>Hausa>Kannada>Mongolian>Afrikaans>Chinese (simplified)>Galician>English

Welcome my son, welcome to the device.
Where is it? Yes, we know where you are.
If you fill it, may not be water pipes
Providing sports and recognition child.
It has a guitar to punish him
If you do not like going to school, and you know it
Welcome to the machine around.
Welcome my son, welcome to the device.
What is your dream? Yes, the dream says.
Dreams of a big star, he played a guitar
He always ate a steak bar. He loves leopard there.
Welcome to the machine around.

And using a different combination; English>Hindi>Hmong>Latin>Russian>Chinese (simplified)>English

This is my favorite holiday.
Where are you? We know where you get it right.
He met the pipeline;
Because he guessed boy toys.
Guitar redemption penalties horse,
If they do not like school that fool
It was a joyous celebration.
This is my favorite holiday.
Are you dreaming? Why do I say this is a dream.
A great star dream, there was a mean guitar
Plastic bags and he ate bread always. He loved his agent for Jaguar.
It was a joyous celebration.

But just walk from Bedford sports equipment

He said that to prove that it's just my crazy

You may be right.
I have an obsession.
But it may look crazy

Please note that I have found.
The President of the Laughing,

They are the only men's
He said: "I am losing my"
So for the moment you can enjoy insanity

Keep in mind, those who have tried all year round.
You're lucky enough to find someone
I am very angry, and you will be
It's really crazy, if you can
All for you
And if you want to

You may be right.

But it may look crazy

The Doors - "Moonlight Drive"

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin' that the
City sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side

Nothin' left open
And no time to decide
We've stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me
But I can't be your guide

Easy, I love you
As I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin' down, down, down


English>Hausa>Kannada>Mongolian>Afrikaans>Chinese (simplified)>Galician>English


Noise Man, swim to the moon Let
We will always flowing down
Evenin 'to
Invisible city dormant
We love to swim at night
We show
Parking near the sea
Moonlight Drive

Noise Man, swim to the moon Let
We will always flowing down
Send world
Our friendship meeting

"Nothing Left
And no time to decide
We have a river
Moonlight Drive

Impregnation of the month to
We will always flowing down
You reached me his hand
But I can not be your guide

Quite simply, I love you
If you slip, I saw
Fall forest wet
Moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight Drive

Come on, kids, little pedestrian
at sea
Get real end
Get real people
Darling, tonight
Goes down, down, down. "
