| deleted user 16.01.2006 12:40 |
In school i once had to be FM for an Irish (Gailge)play. We had to sing (BORHAP) but with our own twist. Bertie Ahern (IrelandsPM) was going to get killed by his stalker(Bono). So Freddie Had to warn him. (but in the end Bertie gets killed and Freddie gets really pissed off with him in heaven) It was great criac. Everyone who saw the play said i looked like Freddie(and sounded like) During the play i knocked over a few desks but i just said ''at least someone's worshiping the ground i walk on'' Very Freddie like don't you think????????????????? Have you ever had to translate Queen songs?????? |

I tried to to do '39 in French for my Final Project for french class, but I tried, crashed/burned, and then decided against it. I would have gotten an F cos I didn't know half the words or what they meant in the song... |

Yes...I've tried singing Bohemian Rhapsody in Afrikaans, it's pretty darn funny if only because the words sound so strange compared to the original, and I can never find metric equivalents in Afrikaans for the original words... "Mama...ek't net 'n man doodgemaak... het 'n vuurwapen teen sy kop gesit het die skoot laat tref en nou's hy dood" (Mama...just killed a man...etc.) Mama, die lewe het maar net begin en nou het ek dit alles weggegooi... (Mama, life had just begun etc.) Lol I like translating the lyrics purely for the amusement factor... |

I have translated the lyrics of BoRhap, Liar and Prophet's Song into German with the right metrum/rhythm; it was really a hard work, but I enjoy doing it anyway. |

I translated the lyrics to "The Show Must Go On" into Italian once. I tried singing it that way, but I found it impossible. |

Lol I shud try translating a few snatches of Queen songs into Latin. Though that would be a rather painstaking excercise...but I'm sure the end result would be amusing lol. Afrikaans is easy for me though I just want to find some nice lyrics. |
| ~-:Moet et Chandon:-~ 18.01.2006 12:02 |
This is surprisngly fun lol. So here is Play the Game in sort of colloquial Afrikaans, though a half-literal translation. So not how one would actually speak. Play The Game Words and music by Freddie Mercury Maak jou kop oop en laat ek binnestap Rus jou moeë kop en laat jou hart besluit Dis so maklik, as jy die reëls ken! Dis so maklik, al wat jy moet doen Is verlief raak Speel die spelletjie Almal speel die spelletjie, van die liefde As jy teneergedruk voel en jou weerstand is laag Steek nog 'n sigaret aan, en laat jouself weggaan Dit is jou lewe Moenie moeilik-om-te-kry speel Dis 'n vrye wêreld Al wat jy moet doen, is verlief raak Speel die spelletjie, almal speel die spelletjie van die liefde My spelletjie van die liefde het maar net begin Die liefde arsel van my kop tot onder in my tone My liefde vlooi deur my are (speel die spelletjie) Dat maak my heeltemal mal Kom kom kom kom speelie spelletjie, speelie spelletjie, speel die spelletjie speel die spelletjie Speel die spelletjie almal speel die spelletjie van die liefde Dit is jou lewe - moenie moeilik-om-te-kry speel Dis 'n vrye wêreld Al wat jy moet doen, is verlief raak Speel die spelletjie, ja speel die spelletjie van die liefde Jou lewe - moenie moeilik-om-te-kry speel Dis 'n vrye wêreld Al wat jy moet doen, is verlief raak Speel die spelletjie - almal speel die spelletjie... |

moet you should relese an queen cover album in Afrikaans |
| Winding123 19.01.2006 06:53 |
never tried, even never thought of that i do believe if i sing a queen song in chinese, it will be nothing but odd and funny sigh~ |
| Munchsack 19.01.2006 08:34 |
Right, let's see. U2 come from Dublin. People say they are the best Irish band, they're not. The Undertones are miles better. Teenage Kicks outstrips the entire U2 catalogue. My name is not Munchkin, so shut it. Yes, there is something wrong with being called English when you're Scottish. Very touchy about it, us Scots. And my joke is not sad. It is a slightly altered line from The Simpsons and is not intended to be particularly funny. You would not have mentioned it if I hadn't pointed out your mistake. Eejit. That's how it's spelt, that's how it's pronounced. |

La Rox(Empress Of The Universe) wrote: moet you should relese an queen cover album in AfrikaansLol! Thanks that's a funny idea...Afrikaans is a really colourful language, and it certainly makes for some interesting translation into other languages. Here in South Africa they released (as a joke) an Afrikaans cover of famous rap songs...lol it was pretty hilarious. |
| FriedChicken 19.01.2006 14:01 |
haha so cool that Afrikaans play the game. Moet, are you able to read my old-dutch version of March of the Black Queen? Since afrikaans and (old)dutch are extremely similar |
| ~-:Moet et Chandon:-~ 19.01.2006 15:15 |
Yes I can! It's excellent lol! And very amusing. Nederlands kan ek nie praat nie (kan jy my Afrikaans verstaan?), maar ek kan dit wel verstaan. 'n Mens kry dikwels stukkies in Nederlands geskryf, in die Afrikaanse letterkunde...ek sal graag wil Nederlands leer. O ja, Afrikaans en Nederlands is nogal na aan mekaar, maar Afrikaans en Flaams (in Belgie) is amper identies [I can't speak Dutch (can you understand my Afrikaans), but indeed I can understand it. One often finds pieces written in Dutch in Afrikaans literature...I'd love to learn Dutch actually. Oh yeah, Afrikaans and Dutch are quite similar, but Afrikaans and Flemmish (belgium) are almost identical.] Lol I'd love to do another translation...maybe CLTCL lol |

He oido una version de "Under Pressue" en espanol. Fue muy interesante. |
| Markman38 20.01.2006 03:47 |
Yes our band made a trasnlation of Tie Your Mother Down, I don't know the complete version anymore but this is how a piece of was Bind je moeder vast Bind je moeder vast Stop je broertje in de kast tot hij in zijn broekje plast Bind je moeder vast Bind je moeder vast En geef je helemaal aan mij Very cheap after all :-) |

Ok U2 are from Dublin well done! The Undertones come from Derry which is in Northren Ireland (but they consider themselves Irish). Yes The Undertones are miles better then U2, but the best Irish band ? GOD-NO!!! Thin Lizzy are the best Irish band (my opinion) If you don't believe me then get Blackrose Whiskey in The Jar Thin Lizzy Live And Dangerous Thin Lizzy The Greatest Hits P.s. Why are you so touchy about being called English? P.P.S You can spell ejeet either ways P.P.S.S Moet release that Album NOW!!!!!!!! (Munchsack this is a 'JOKE' remember to 'LAUGH') |

Dit sal interressant wees om bietjie met jou te probeer gesels (ek in Afrikaans en jy in Nerderlands) lol. |

(Munchsack this is a 'JOKE' remember to 'LAUGH')I know The Undertones are from Derry, I am a huge fan. I like Thin Lizzy, but I don't think they are as good. The English thing, a lot of Scots hate that. English people don't often make that mistake, but it really annoys me because we are a country in our own right. Not independent as I would like. I spent a week on work experience in The Scottish Parliament. That was cool. I don't see what is so funny about that 'joke' but you can't tell if I'm laughing or not. P.S. It is quite well known that U2 are from Dublin. |

Scotland is basically england we're not bothered, its only because scottish dont want to be joined to england that bothers you so much, i mean dont get me wrong i dont hate scottish, but i do feel that they take a dislike to english people, |
