Der Kommissar (Falco)

Two, three, four
Eins, zwei drei
Na, es is nix dabei
Na, wenn ich Euch erzähl' die G'schicht'
Nichts desto trotz
Ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im TV-Funk da läuft es nicht
Ja, sie war jung,
Das Herz so rein und weiß
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis
Sie sagt: „Sugar Sweet
Ya got me rappin' to the heat!“
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß
Sie sagt: „Baby, look
I miss my funky friends“
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill
Mein Funkverständnis
Ja, das reicht zur Not
Ich überreiss', was sie jetzt will
Ich überleg' bei mir
Ihr' Nas'n spricht dafür
Währenddessen ich noch rauch'
Die Special Places sind ihr wohlbekannt
Ich mein', sie fährt ja U-Bahn auch
Dort singen's
„Drah' di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er wird dich anschauen
Und du…
„Drah' di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er wird dich anschauen
Und du weißt warum
Die Lebenslust bringt dich um“
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
Hey wanna buy some stuff, man?
How did you ever rap that thing, Jack?
So rap it to the beat
Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen's ab die Wänd'
Dieser Fall ist klar
Lieber Herr Kommissar
Auch wenn sie anderer Meinung sind
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahren
Kennt heute jedes Kind
Jetzt das Kinderlied
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm“
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh“
Wenn er dich anspricht
Und du weißt warum
Sag eahm
Dein Leben bringt dich um
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm“
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh“
Wenn er dich anspricht
Und du weißt warum
Sag eahm
Dein Leben bringt dich um
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh“
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh“
„Drah di net um, oh oh oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um! oh oh oh“

===================================================================

Two three four
one, two, three
Well, it's nothing
Well, if I tell you the story
Nevertheless
I'm already used to it
It doesn't work on the tv-radio
Yes, she was young
Her heart so pure and clean
And each night had its price
She said, "sugar sweet, ya got me rappin' to the heat!"
I understand she's hot
She says, "Baby look,
I miss my funky friends"
She means Jack and Joe and Jill
my radio understanding (?)
Yes, that's enough of the distress (?)
I'm going beyond what she wants now
I think about it
Your noses speak for it (?) [Are in favor of it?]
Meanwhile I'm still smoking
She knows the Special Places well
I mean, she also drives the subway
That's where it sings

Don't turn around oh oh
Look, look, the commissioner is going around!
He'll see you
and you know why
The joie de vivre will kill you

Is everything good, Mr. Commissioner?

Hey wanna buy some stuff, man?
How did you ever rap that thing, Jack?
So rap it to the beat
We meet Jill and Joe
And that brother Hip
And the rest of their cool gang
They rap here, they rap there
In between we scratch it off the walls
this case is clear, 
Dear Mr. Commissioner
Even if you don't agree

The snow on which we all drive downhill
Every child knows today the children's song:

Don't turn around oh oh
look, look, the Commissioner is going around!
He has the power and we are small and dumb
This frustration makes us mute.


Don't turn around oh oh
look, look, the Commissioner is going around!

 When he speaks to you
and you know why
Say to him
your life is killing you

Shina No Yoru

I'm going to attempt to translate "Shina no Yoru" into French. I didn't do the Japanese translation, in fact I don't know any Japanese, so basically, I'm translating the English translation of Shina no Yoru into French...

Quelle nuit au Chine!

Quelle nuit au Chine
Les lumières de le port
nuit pourprée profond
junque en voile
bâteau des rêves
Ah, je ne peut pas oublier
le son de kokyu
Nuit au Chine
nuit des rêves
Nuit au Chine

Quelle nuit au Chine
En la fenetre couverte de saules
une rampe tremble
une cage d'oiseau rouge
une fille Chinoise
ahh tristement
chant les chants d'amours
Nuit au Chine
nuit des rêves
Nuit au Chine

Quelle nuit au Chine!
Je t'attend
sous le pluie au Obashima
Les fleurs en fleur
comme le fard rouge sur ses joues
même après la séparation
Je n'oublierai jamais
Nuit au Chine
nuit des rêves

==============================
Shina no yoru yo!
minato no akari
Murasaki no yo: ni
Noboru janku no
Yume no fune Aaaah,

What a night in China!
harbor lights
deep purple night
sailing junk
Ship of dreams
Ah Ah, I cannot forget
the sound of the kokyu*
China night
night of dreams
China night

What a night in China
In the willow window
A ramp was shaking
A red bird cage
A Chinese girl
Ah sadly
Singing love songs
China night
Night of dreams
China night

What a night in China!
waiting for you
in the rain at Obashima
Flowers in bloom
like rouge on her cheeks
even after parting
I will never forget
China night
night of dreams

Russian Names

I found this French site on Communist-era Russian first name inventions. Here's my attempt at translating!

First Names

newly-invented first names

the revolution caused upheavels also in the area of first names: in this era, officials distributed brochures with "politically and ideologically" correct names, and invited parents to draw on these ideas for naming their children.

les Prénoms Russes

PRENOMS

PRENOMS INVENTES

La révolution a provoqué des bouleversements même dans le domaine des prénoms : à l'époque, les autorités distribuaient des brochures avec les prénoms "politiquement et idéologiquement" corrects et invitaient les parents à y puiser des idées pour nommer leurs enfants. Ces prénoms bizarres ont eu leur heure de gloire entre 1917 et 1940, mais par la suite les prénoms traditionnels sont revenus en force. Il ne reste pratiquement rien de ceux-ci, considérés comme une curiosité...

I got this email today that said:
Alle Frauen sind schon erlöst, nur Männer bedürfen der Erlösung! Amen.

All women are already redeemed, but men require redeeming! Amen.

How completely random!

Heino - Regenbogen Johnny

Regenbogen Johnny

Das schoenste Maedchen in den Bergen,
das heit Siouxcity-Sue.
In einem Wigwam in Montana
wohnt sie im Land von Winnetou.
Sieben Tage, sieben Naechte
sucht' ich sie in der Praerie.
Ein Regenbogen in bunten Farben
wies mir den Weg. Da fand ich sie!
Sie sah mich an mit Maerchenaugen.
Es war Liebe auf den ersten Blick!
Ja, der Regen-, Regenbogen,
ja, der zeigte mir den Weg ins Glueck.
Und nach meinem Namen hat sie mich nie gefragt.
Nur Regenbogen-Johnny hat sie zu mir gesagt!

Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, ruh dich bei mir aus!
Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, hier bist du zuhaus'!
Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, ist er auch noch so klein. -
Regenbogen-Johnny, Regenbogen-Johnny,
komm und la uns gluecklich sein !
Regenbogen-Johnny, Regenbogen-Johnny,
la' mich nie mehr allein !

Lagerfeuer, Feuerwasser, Abendrot,
vom Sueden weht der Wind.
Und mein Blick, er geht nach Westen,
wo die Bueffelherden sind.
Fremde Laender, fremde Meere,
alles hab' ich schon geseh'n.
Doch in ihrer kleinen Huette
war die Welt nochmal so schoen !

Warum bin ich fortgegangen?
Meine Sehnsucht, die brennt immerzu,
nach den dunklen Maerchenaugen,
fern im Land von Winnetou.
Und nach meinem Namen hat sie mich nie gefragt.
Nur Regenbogen-Johnny hat sie zu mir gesagt,
C h o r: Regenbogen-Johnny.

Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, ruh dich bei mir aus!
Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, hier bist du zuhaus'!
Komm in meinen Wigwam, Wigwam, ist er auch noch so klein. -
Regenbogen-Johnny, Regenbogen-Johnny,
komm und la uns gluecklich sein !
Regenbogen-Johnny, Regenbogen-Johnny,
la' mich nie mehr allein

Rainbow Johnny

The most beautiful girl in the mountains
was named Sioux City Sue
in a wigwam in Montana,
she lived in the land of the Winnetou.
Seven days and seven nights
I searched for her on the prairie
a rainbow in bright colors
appeared on the trail. There I found her!
She looked at me with (marching?) eyes
It was love at first sight!
Yes the rain... rainbow
it showed me the way to luck
And my name, she had never asked,
She simply called me "Rainbow Johnny"!

Come into my wigwam, wigwam, rest yourself here with me
Come into my wigwam, wigwam, here you are at home
Come into my wigwam, wigwam, it's also still so small
Rainbow Johnny Rainbow Johnny
Come and let us be lucky!
Rainbow Johnny Rainbow Johnny
There I'll no longer be alone!

Campfire, whiskey (?), setting sun
The wind blew from the south
And my gaze fell to the west,
where the herds of buffalo are.
Foreign lands, foreign seas
I've seen them all
But in our little hut
the world is again so beautiful.

Why am I leaving?
My yearning, it burns always
for those dark, (marching?) eyes
far in the land of the Winnetou
My name, she had never asked,
She simply called me "Rainbow Johnny"!

Come into my wigwam, wigwam, rest yourself here with me
Come into my wigwam, wigwam, here you are at home
Come into my wigwam, wigwam, it's also still so small
Rainbow Johnny Rainbow Johnny
Come and let us be lucky!
Rainbow Johnny Rainbow Johnny
There I'll no longer be alone!

Phew!

Wow, that was hard. Translating FROM your own language INTO another one is 100x more difficult that going the other way around, at least for me. I'd hate to see what my translation of "Gypsy" *really* means! No, actually I'd like to. It's really hard to look things up in the dictionary-- for example, the word "still," as in "I still see your bright eyes." Still can mean: quiet or non-moving, or it can be a noun meaning a photo taken from a movie, a distillation apparatus. It can be a verb meaning to silence or settle. It can be an adverb, like "she sits still," or used to show a contrast, as in "people with PhDs are still sometimes stupid." It can also be used like "even more," as in "Frank is fat, but Chuck is fatter still."

Hello, English language? Why didn't you just invent different words for all these usages? I think in French they are all different! The meaning I want is like "continuing; I continue to see your bright eyes."

Here's what Google Translations has to say about my attempt:

I turned over underground velour
turned over has the floor
which I like has a room with dentalle and the flowers out of turned over paper
has the gipsy which I was once
has the gipsy...
which I was
And it all goes down has you well, you know that it well,
the flash foudroye, perhaps once, perhaps twice
ah, and he illuminates the night
and you see your gipsy
you see your gipsy
With the gipsy which remains, it faces of freedom with a little fear.
I do not have any fear, only the love
and if I would have one child to
and the child would be rather enough for me to like
enough has the love
It dances far from me maintaining
It was only one wish
It was only one wish
And the memories, it are very that remains for you
You see your gipsy
I see your eyes brilliants however

La Gitane

Ok, I'm going to attempt to translate Fleetwood Mac into French. Why? I have no idea. I started this when I worked at Dunkin Donuts and was forced to listen to the Lite Rock station all day. They played "Gypsy" all the time, and I freaking love that song. I was so bored this one day it was raining that I tried translating this song into French in my head. Here goes... (note, I'm terrible with prepositons like in, on, to, etc.)

So Im back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy... that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
(she was just a wish)
(she was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

J'ai retourné de la velour souterraine
retourné a le plancher qui j'aime
a une salle avec de la dentaille et les fleurs en papier
retourné a la gitane qui j'étais une fois
a la gitane... qui j'étais

Et il toute descend a toi
bien, tu sais qu'il
bien, l'éclair foudroye, peut-etre un fois, peut-etre deux fois
ah, et il illumine la nuit
et tu vois ta gitane
tu vois ta gitane

A la gitane qui reste, elle fait face de la liberté avec un peu de peur.
Je n'ai aucune de peur, seulement l'amour
et si j'aurais un enfant
et l'enfant serait assez
assez pour moi aimer
assez a l'amour

Elle danse loin de moi maintenant
Elle était seulement un souhait
Elle était seulement un souhait
Et les souvenirs, ce sont tout que reste pour toi
Tu vois ton gitane

Je continue voir cependant tes yeux brilliants
