THAT'S SOME BAD TRANSLATOR, HARRY

[defrog]

Yr new favorite Interwub time-waster meme (by order of popfiend ):

1. Go the The Bad Translator.
2. Type in some lyrics to a favorite song (250 characters max).
3. Translate using 10 languages.
4. Post results.
5. You, the reader, try to guess the lyrics in comments.

GO!

Example:

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

becomes

"You can always watch what you want, but you can leave."

I tried two lyrics. Here are the results after ten translations:

1. "Harvest season of fear and summer wind and rain. We like them."

2. If you listen to cheat the rules of cell phone."

Here are the original lyrics:

“Seasons don’t fear the Reaper, nor do the winds, the summer, the rain. We can be like they are.”

"If you listen to fools, the mob rules."

FUN FACT: The cell phone reference didn’t kick in until the Chinese translation. Which is telling.

Lost in translation,
