Have You Ever Sang Queen Songs In Different Languages ??

but its in japanense...

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.

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

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~

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.

I used that for Amor de mi vida

Lol! 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.

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

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.

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 :-)

Nice one Markman...I love the rhyme lol

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')

Lol! Ok I'll send you the first copy
