The Seeker Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 And I slowly started to feel something like respect for you.
Farin Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I said "this time"... I posted one or two of my translations here already, and I made offers to do others (see "Guten Tag" above)... of course I'm not gonna do it, if nobody's gonna read them...
The Seeker Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Oh, go ahead. I've got nothing to do right now.
Farin Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 but just for you... Guten Tag - Wir sind Helden Meine Stimme gegen dein Mobiltelefon Meine Fäuste gegen eure Nagelpflegelotion Meine Zähne gegen die von Doktor Best und seinem Sohn Meine Seele gegen eure sanfte Epilation Es war im Ausverkauf im Angebot die Sonderaktion Tausche blödes altes Leben gegen neue Version Ich hatte es kaum zu Hause ausprobiert da wusste ich schon an dem Produkt ist was kaputt-das ist die Reklamation Ich will Ich tausch nicht mehr ich will mein Leben zurück Guten Tag ich gebe zu ich war am Anfang entzückt aber euer Leben zwickt und drückt nur dann nicht wenn man sich bückt - Guten Tag Meine Stimme gegen die der ganzen Talkshownation Meine Fäuste für ein müdes Halleluja und Bohnen Meine Zähne gegen eure zahme Revolution Visionen gegen die totale Television Es war im Ausverkauf im Angebot die Sonderaktion Tausche blödes altes Leben gegen neue Version Ich hatte es kaum zu Hause ausprobiert da wusste ich schon an dem Produkt ist was kaputt-das ist die Reklamation Guten Tag guten Tag ich will mein Leben zurück Guten Tag guten Tag ich will mein Leben zurück Guten Tag guten Tag ich will mein Leben zurück Ich tausch nicht mehr ich will mein Leben zurück Guten Tag ich gebe zu ich war am Anfang entzückt aber euer Leben zwickt und drückt nur dann nicht wenn man sich bückt - Guten Tag ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Guten Tag" means literal "Good Day", but it's used differently (not as formal). The more accurate translation would be "Good Afternoon" My voice against your mobile phone, My fists against your manicure lotion, My teeth against those of Dr. Best and his son, My soul against you soft epilation It was in the sellout, the bargain-sale, the selling-off "Swapping stupid old life for the new version" I just tried it at home And I already knew The product must be broken This is the reclamation I want I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) Good Afternoon I want my life back Good Afternoon, Good Afternoon I want my life back Good afternoon, Good Afternoon i want my life back Good Afternoon, I admit in the beginning I was delighted But your life tweaks and pinches, only not when you bend down My voice against the whole talkshow-nation My fists for a tired "Hallelujah" and beans My teeth against you're tame revolution Visions against the whole television It was in the sellout, the bargain-sale, the selling-off "Swapping stupid old life for the new version" I just tried it at home And I already knew The product must be broken This is the reclamation I want I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) I don't wanna swap again (I want my life back) Good Afternoon I want my life back Good Afternoon, Good Afternoon I want my life back Good afternoon, Good Afternoon i want my life back Good Afternoon, I admit in the beginning I was delighted But your life tweaks and pinches, only not when you bend down
The Seeker Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Thank you! Do you enjoy translating? (Do you ENJOY knives?)
Farin Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 I'm willing to go through the pain, if it makes others happy...
Farin Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Eddie Vedder once said: "I dedicate this to the bastard that married my mother" Better Man ~ Pearl Jam "She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man... She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man..."
Farin Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 one of the best Live performances: Dire Straits & Eric Clapton ~ Sultans of Swing (LIVE)
The Seeker Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Supersonic -- Oasis To me, this is as perfect as music got in the past fifteen years.
The Seeker Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 Another great performance: (just think of it as tomorrow's song of the day ) Live Forever live -- Oasis
Farin Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Somehow that strongly reminds me of the 80's Automatic - Zoot Woman and a cool dance too
Uncle Joe Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 I always thought that Lio was either a 2 or 3 girl group. Next up: Banana Split
edna Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Lio is French from Belgium/Portuguese origin. She said somewhere that she was much too young to understand the lyrics of "Banana Split" ... otherwise she would have never sung it. Just like France Gall with "Les Sucettes"... Here´s another one: "Les brunes comptent pas pour des prunes" - Lio
edna Posted October 19, 2006 Report Posted October 19, 2006 I love this song... "I feel love" - Donna Summer And this one... "Hot Stuff" - Donna Summer
The Seeker Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Bass Solo by John Entwistle Thunderfingers
blind-fitter Posted October 21, 2006 Report Posted October 21, 2006 I once nominated this for a Songfacts Top 10. It failed to chart, apparently on account that the artist/song wasn't sufficiently well-known on a world-wide scale. Shame! It would appear from viewer comments that it did make the leap across the Atlantic, but perhaps only achieved "cult status". Any of you remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvErh74r-5Q
edna Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 I sure remember her... She was very famous in Spain... Do you remember "Rock Lobster"- B-52s?
Farin Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 ^^b-f, do you know who she reminds me of? the original, the one and only Nina Hagen ~ "Ziggy Stardust"
blind-fitter Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Oh, I've seen that Nina Hagen doing Ziggy before. It's rather comical, isn't it? Lene Lovich and Nina Hagen were friends and collaborators. They do have certain stylistic similarities. I suppose the big difference between them was that Lene Lovich could sing a decent, catchy pop-single without scaring everyone away....
The Seeker Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 I was just waiting for that thing in her hair to fall off. You know, actually that wasn't bad at all.
Farin Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 she's rather comical, period... but I beg to differ, Nina Hagen had a massiv hit with a pop single in the 70's, which is considered "cult" today Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen ("you forgot the colour film")
blind-fitter Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Spizzenergi classic "Where's Captain Kirk?" set to a home-made vid. A "must-see" for fans of William Shatner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3B4Lw7VM0g
