Lost In Translation

[Slaine mac Roth]

Don't know if anyone's done this before.

 

The idea is that you go to Babelfish, type in a Rush lyric and translate it from English to Spanish to French to Dutch and back to English and see what come out.

 

I've just done it with the opening lines to In the End and come up with:

 

I can see,

what means you,

he as soon as I me expensive

 

Just interested to see what the rest of you can uncover

How about this for Jacob's Ladder?

 

The clouds are prepared for the battle.

in l' dark and silence brroding. Stormclouds contusionados and hoscos, half of the daylight obscurecida.

Lower parts and accident in early tones twilight.

Thunderheads are rumbling to a distant insinuation.

In a world which is only switched on by fire,

long parcel sudden puffs under the ASTRE piercing that me d' places; research of the role of steamliners singelt

 

he the caravan for he thunders to l'

for The dream which is removed of the city,

the caravan he m' carries to l' gone;

for in my manner in what is last

in my manner in what last

 

I cannot determine the large idea

I cannot the large idea determine am

A large step of the means of the means of war of modern-dag, Today' ; proudly of the means of the means of s TOMs Sawyer.

 

This is fun.

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

What could be more fun than "Tom Sawyer," seeing as it only makes half-sense in English to begin with:

 

War of modern-dag

the large bad bad step

Today's Tom Sawyer

bad bad pride.

 

Although its spirit is not for the rent

Don't l' a down put as arrogant.

Its stock, a reserved defence

to outside day' to increase events of s.

the river

 

what called you concerning its society L'

is what called you concerning the society.

The fog takes, takes the myth

takes the mystery, takes the deviation

 

The world is, the world is

l' deep love and living are

perhaps as its hemelen he is broad.

 

 

....Is it me, or does it actually make more sense now?

[Rush Cocky]

Here are the first 2 verses of "The Spirit Of Radio":

 

With the day with a friendly voice, starts a discreet worker plays the song that' ; this way vague s AND the tovermuziek do its mood of the morning. In a its manner, finds open gone, have work magic in its fingers for l' alcohol never becomes, contact Undemanding postponed in its loneliness fortunately.

AND:

 

"My uncle has a country place that no one knows about. He says it used to be a farm before the motor route."

 

BECOMES:

 

"My uncle has of the country which has nobody around. He says that the way of the engine was an agriculture company before."

 

[Rush Cocky]

This one ought to be fun!

 

THIS:

 

"Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete;

genetic blends, with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet."

 

BECAME THIS:

 

"Each of our, d' an cell of knowledge, imperfectly and incomplete; genetic mixtures, with the uncertain ends in a hunting that' ; of the capacity; fleet of s far also."

 

OK, that one wasn't as good...........

[Rush Cocky]

This one might work better!

 

THIS:

 

"There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand.

The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland."

 

BECAME THIS:

 

"He there to those whom qu' to think; a hand perdidosa was divided. The cards were piled up against them; they weren' ; t behaves in lotus country."

 

[Rush Cocky]

ONE MORE.

 

THIS:

 

"You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

 

BECAME THIS:

 

"YOU can choose ready a guide in a certain celestial voice. If you prefer not deciding, you have still taken a decision."

 

Not bad!

To:

 

"How quelqu' be possible; a being cleared up? Truth is, finally, this way bad lighting."

[Slaine mac Roth]

Isn't amazine how something so simple can be such fun

 

See what you make of this.

 

nature has to certain new plague in our streets

history work a certain new wrinkle us condemns for briefly

in the door of the dormitory the lovers s' to repeat;

to keep short on for qu' to find;

an open rain of the shop burns in l' deepening of the bunch

and the red tide embrace the side

THIS N' NOT IT IS FALSIFIED ALARM

THIS N' A TEST IS NOT

 

the stay the sun burns entirely only my skin

sky of the poison and l' atmosphere' ;

dedicated s too much end the sun,

the rain no longer of river

which as an open pain black wind works

which on the sea ground falls

and to the red filtering of the tide in ground

 

THIS N' NOT IT IS FALSIFIED ALARM

ONLY THIS N' A TEST

nowhere IS be possible

none absent part of flies that can rest

itself the party which by a host to be interrupted is invited

 

alignments of the period for the tired ground

were something but we let him work down in our hands

too late for the discussion,

badly been possible the insurrection

reserved of not to be also done carry we to open war

bring sea-wisselen to l' deepening of l' factory

such as the red tide covers he the side

 

Now' ; s l' era for return to the tide

Now' to give; ; s l' era for n' to fight;

to go not lissement to the night without end of l' the winter Now' ;

s l' era to do whereas the time l' the hope follows to l' interior n' given become;

to go not lissement to the night without end of l' the winter
