The Song Lyrics Game

[Trudi G]

Ok, what you do is take the chorus or any well know part of a song, and translate it into a foreign language.
The next person has to guess what the song is and post one themselves.
Here's my one to start it off with.


Meine Einsamkeit ist Ttung ich (und i)
ich mu mich bekennen glauben noch da (glauben Sie noch),
wenn ich nicht mit Ihnen ich bin,
verlieren Sie meinen Verstand geben mich,
den ein Zeichen mich Baby ein weiteres Mal schlug

[Pip Madeley]

Erm, is it Albatross by Fleetwood Mac?

[Trudi G]

Nope, i'll give you a clue - its a female artiste.

[Wayne]

The on-line translator wasn't much help.

"My loneliness is must confess believe me killing I (and i) I yet that (believe you yet), if I am not with you
I, lose give me you my intellect, that a sign struck me baby a further time"

[Pip Madeley]

Oh come on Jefferies, any fool - even Milky Tears - can tell what that one is!

CHEAT!

[Wayne]

@Pip

It's just made it more difficult hasn't it!

[Pip Madeley]

I doubt you own any of her hits, but I'm sure you wouldn't say no to her b-side.

[Raston]

I could read just enough German to work that one out, which was kind of cheating too!

[Trudi G]

Someone post another one then!!

[Wayne]

I doubt you own any of her hits, but I'm sure you wouldn't say no to her b-side.

Oh you know do you? I thought you were taking the mick. I haven't got the slightest clue what the song is!

[Raston]

Oh you know do you? I thought you were taking the mick. I haven't got the slightest clue what the song is!

But you have looked at her 'snatch'

[Wayne]

But you have looked at her 'snatch'

See, Even Mr.H knows more than me!

[Pip Madeley]

New one:

Vous tes la reine dansante, jeune et doux, seulement la reine dix-sept dansante,
sentent le battement du tambourine que vous pouvez danser,
vous peut jive, ayant la priode de votre vie voient cette fille,
la montre qui la scne, fouille dans la reine dansante

[Wayne]

New one:

Vous tes la reine dansante, jeune et doux, seulement la reine dix-sept dansante,
sentent le battement du tambourine que vous pouvez danser,
vous peut jive, ayant la priode de votre vie voient cette fille,
la montre qui la scne, fouille dans la reine dansante

I don't know any languages & i''m not gonna cheat, but the translations are really funny!

You are the queen dancing, young and soft, only the queen seventeen dance, feel the beating of the drums that you can
dance, you can jive, having the period of your life see this girl, the watch that the scene, searches in the queen
dancing

[Pip Madeley]

"having the period of your life"

[Wayne]

"having the period of your life"

Precisely!!

[Raston]

That one was like showing a red rag to a bull.

[Wayne]

Apologies for ruining Trudi's thread. Maybe there's a different thread to be had out of all this funny translation guff.
Meanwhile, back to game. Though i'll have to leave you to it.

[Dave Tudor]

"having the period of your life"

Oh, that's brilliant!

Try this one:

"Nosotros nos saltamos el fandango ligero las volteretas laterales giradas 'cruza el piso yo me senta kinda
mareado pero la multitud escatim para ms El cuarto tarareaba ms duro como el techo vol Cuando escatimamos
para otra bebida que el camarero trajo una bandeja

Y de modo que fue que luego como el molinero dijo su cuento que su cara, al principio apenas fantasmal, gir
una sombra ms blanca de plido"

Meth eth eth eth, heth eth eth...

[Ali]

Heh. I can only think of two song lyrics that include the word 'fandango' and this clearly isn't 'Bohemian Rhapsody' so....'Whiter Shade of Pale'?

In the hope that I'm right, here's another one.

Scaturisca se mi diceste che steste annegandosi, io non abbiate prestato una mano.
Ho visto la vostra faccia prima del mio amico, ma non so se conoscete chi sono.
Ma ero l ed ho visto che cosa avete fatto, sega esso con i miei propri due occhi.
Cos potete pulire fuori quel grin, io sapete dove siete stati. tutto stato un pacchetto delle bugie.

[Dave Tudor]

Heh. I can only think of two song lyrics that include the word 'fandango' and this clearly isn't 'Bohemian Rhapsody' so....'Whiter Shade of Pale'?

Thank you! I thought I'd killed the thread! You're absolutely right, of course - it was indeed 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale'.

As for yours... I dunno... 'Lady In Red'...? :P

[Ali]

Yay! No, not Lady in Red. Mr Madeley may yet recognise this one...CLUE
