Hi! I came up with a fun idea to do for the eurovision songs, not only this year, but for other years as well. The idea comes from a youtube channel by Malinda Kathleen Reese, who is known for putting song lyrics through layers of different languages on Google Translate and it comes up with at times hilariously different outcome. Here is her explaining the format and maybe her best known version of "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen.
So with that I decided to try it out myself, but for Eurovision songs. I picked songs from this year went to Google translate and picked four completly different languages and then went back to the original language. First two tries didn't work that well, but on my third try it did when I used the Moldovan entry "Falling Stars". The languages I went through were Persian-Swahili-Belarussian-Bulgarian and then back to english again.
Here you see the original lyrics:
Lost in time, you’re miles away
I try to speak or make a sound
The dark surrounds me when you’re gone
The dream we had disappeared
Still I believe, I’m holding on
I didn’t mean to let you down
We could be the brightest falling
The brightest falling stars
The sky is tumbling
It’s coming down, coming down
The wildest fire
Is burning out, out
And when our fall torn us to pieces
All of our love turned into dust
We’re the brightest falling stars
Flashing lights, I close my eyes
I let the sunlight comfort me
When all that’s left are memories
We could be the brightest falling stars
The sky is tumbling
It’s coming down, coming down
The wildest fire
Is burning out, out
And when our fall torn us to pieces
All of our love turned into dust
We’re the brightest falling stars
(The brightest falling stars)
The thought of us all disappeared
Still I believe, I’m holding on
The sky is tumbling
It’s coming down, coming down
The wildest fire
Is burning out, out
And when our fall torn us to pieces
All of our love turned into dust
We’re the brightest falling stars
And here, is the Google translate answer to that:
Abandoned in time, your miles
I try to speak or sound
Darkness surrounds me no more
Our dream is dying
However, I believe I write
I did not want to disappoint
We want to be a great fall
Bright stars fall
acrobatics sky
He goes down, down
ferocious fire
Hot with
And if we fall, we ripped
All our love turns to dust
We are falling bright star
Flashing lights, close your eyes
I let my shadow calm
If the memory is all that remains
We have a bright star accommodations
acrobatics sky
He goes down, down
ferocious fire
Hot with
And if we fall, we ripped
All our love turns to dust
We are falling bright star
(Bright Star in the autumn)
I think we all disappear
However, I believe I write
acrobatics sky
He goes down, down
ferocious fire
Hot with
And if we fall, we ripped
All our love turns to dust
We are falling bright star
Even more fun if you try to sing a long with the new lyrics :
So try it out yourself and post here if you get some epic ones. You can as well use NF songs or Eurovision songs from other years as well.
I don't know if this thread should be here, or if it should be moved, but I put it here in the meanwhile, if it suits better somewhere else, than the moderators can move it if they like.
