With the movie quote translation thread back up and running, I thought I would revive the song lyrics one. While I wasn't able to find the one I was looking for before I gave up and decided to start a new one, I did find these interesting ones, worth people's re-reading after all this time: But anyway, since I have this habit of constantly translating any song I'm listening to into el glheþ in my head (and into the open air when showering...I know, I know, TMI), I thought I would type out the lyrics to the first verse of the song I'm currently listening to, see who can guess the song.
A canta alicunt qe tu non put vidarh
A sesta àl top da l'arvour el pü virt
A emesta 'n savour d'amor undefinì
Ça glopa in 'n ciera dasupra
Anyone? Next? Hool |

Okay, so no one got that one (not surprising, I guess; the song is older than most people here, it seems). Here is the first verse from the far more famous song from that same album, though, in case it helps....
Craca aceasta xhaischla
Da el paßat la chircaziun
Stiga pa üna intzla
Caschca tu matra sè tersch
Quand 'n problum ariça
Tu fost fovetarh-en
Avant qe la crema sesta ut tro lung
Tu fost fovetarh-en
Quand quálsecosa falescha
Tu fost fovetarh-en
Too easy now, I bet. I mean, the name of the song is right in there. Hool |

Anyone? Next? Hool For lack of a better "official mispelling" Though I can't abide such things and would happily put tu in there. "Criança 2 Velás" The other must be "Fovetarh-En" I was going to come back with some lyrics from a "Oceancratoira Axhairema" song, but after half an hour of translation all I have is a clunky horrible mess and shall move on to the next song stuck in my head (don't worry there's usually at least three in there at a time.) |

For lack of a better "official mispelling" Though I can't abide such things and would happily put tu in there. "Criança 2 Velás" (Volt, not velás -- present-tense velarh is irregular as all get-out.) I completely agree. How hard is it to spell "you" instead of "u"? I mean, really. And when the word is sung, it is "you" that they mean, not...uh..."u". Never made any sense at all to me, and bothers me no end when bands do that crap and think they're being clever, or cool. Here are some lyrics from another song that annoyingly does something similar: O füt 'n garziun
A füt 'n criança
¿Put-éu façarh-en ingen pü oviös?
O füt 'n bragartac'h
A dançeva del ballet
¿Qet pü put-éu zirarh? Yes, although I suppose the title would be Fovetetz-en, using the imperative. Hool |

O füt 'n bragartac'h
A dançeva del ballet
¿Qet pü put-éu zirarh? Avríu Vineu? That one was unexpected, just doesn't seem...Hooliganesque. (I once worked with a pathological liar that claimed that song was about him in an attempt to impress us...it didn't.) This is sloppy, most likely has numerous conjugation and pluralization errors, plus I'm still hazy on adverb placement and had to invent a few words. I also think I messed up a few articles and prepositions and may have made a bad translation or two. Plus it'd need some tweaking to be a workable translation (line 12 alone is about 8 or 9 syllables too long). But here is my evening's labour: Quand el savan pechein
Qi tent nunca zireva 'n moct
Schtarta à cantarh primavara
Quand la xhalüdra pechein
Àð el baseu d'el val
Schtarta à sonorarh dindò dindò
Quand el clarqeu pechein bléu
Àl centreu da sieu traval
Schtarta 'n tün casa la luna inalt là
Ça isch natür qe isch toct
Zirind simplamint noi à tombarh enamorat
Es qe isch útqet las fuglas façent ça, las abeglhas façent ça
Misma els tzimilours educats façent ça
Laßetz noi façent ça, Laßetz noi à tombarh enamorat
Penc'has freds da Cap Miriuça, contr’iens lor vöglha, façent ça
Misma els aquamaes sloþen façent ça
Laßetz noi façent ça, Laßetz noi à tombarh enamorat
Téu üscüdat qe las cefradas es las frozuas façent ça
Colocind sür 'n peira
Si zirent qe els pols façent ça
Avetz 'n rügû es güg
Arxhentinìs tamaints, sanc dal resorçùs, façent ça
Üscüdéu misma els þáriqeux da Boston façent ça
Laßetz noi façent ça, Laßetz noi à tombarh enamorat
Quand el savan pechein
Qi tent nunca zireva 'n moct
Schtarta à cantarh primavara primavara
Quand la xhalüdra pechein
Àð el baseu d'el val
Schtarta à sonorarh ding dindò
Quand el clarqeu pechein bléu
Àl centreu da sieu traval
Schtarta 'n tün
Las cristinetas pü finas façent ça
Quand ün cavalair visita
Dels cindas in voastra tapisetas, os façent ça
Qet'st el útzil da cindabolas
Els cimpantzìs in els zupharcs façent ça
Quálsevol cangarùs ardits façent ça
Laßetz noi façent ça, Laßetz noi à tombarh enamorat
Éu sint sigür sóntains escuntra furber tu façás ça
Sà'starh misma tu es éu put-estarh façent ça
Laßetz noi façent ça, Laßetz noi à tombarh enamorat [/b] I hate spell check on threads like this one... |

....what do you mean, you're a programmer too, you do it? Ha! I'm retired, I'll have you know: I don't do things like that!
...oh, there's free beer in it? That's different! OK, I'll look at it - but no promises!  |

Els Xhermáns füvent casâ mhe

Téu cambiat cînt fäts va nôminâ
Téu pierðat fïeux és femnâ
Más téu cetantis dàl amici
Téu la Françâ i toct
Dîn 'n ceatarasi, 'n senesch
Noi ascunçeva për el nic'ht,
Lo tent aflat els Xhermáns;
Morteva sânc surpriçâ
Ah, el vint, el vint eißala
Trâns els graveux, o eißala
La livertà ischà
És noi surxharhent dàls umbrâs
