My friend just shared this site with me, and I can not stop plugging Coldplay lyrics into it! Basically it's an automated version of a game we used to play on Babelfish, where you run a phrase through several language translations and then finally translate it back into English.

 

What you end up with is sort of a mixed up, poetic version of what you started with.

 

So let's try it out! Go to Translation Party, put in some lyrics, wait for the translator to reach equilibrium, and post the results. Then spoiler-tag what you started with so everyone else can guess the original lyrics.

 

I'll start with a couple obvious ones.

 

"Guide House, I need to fix the light in your bones"

 

Fix You

"Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you"

 

click here to see how the translator worked this one out. :)

 

Here's another!!

 

"But why me in your direction, Purizupurizumi to direct his words to convey. Are you listening? You must pay attention!"

 

I have no idea who "Purizupurizimi" is. :shrug:

 

Shiver

"So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention do you

I know you don't listen to me

'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?"

 

 

Your turn! :dance:

This is awesome!!! :lol:

 

Ok, here's mine!

"If you have a secret question, please answer the following:"

 

 

When you've got a secret

Then you've got to keep it

When you've got a question

Answers will come

 

 

Nice! My next one is totally deep! :o

 

"Our intention is to win a mystery"

 

"Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm across"

 

I don't know how it got so short but here's the translation to prove I didn't do anything weird to it!

 

"And it is looking for us. And I can not survive."

 

 

Brothers & Sisters

"And it's me they're looking for. And it's me, I will never survive."

 

 

 

 

 

:lol:

That's funny! :laugh3:

Here's one:

 

Bring me a cold cold water

 

 

Cold cold water, bring me round.

 

Here's another one:

 

"Oh, trust me, I know this person?"

 

 

Oh, all that I know

There's nothing here to run from

'Cause yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean on

 

 

 

:lol: :lol:

"I have to check with local involvement, but to execute someone, the spider silk is all stupid" :lol:

 

 

Oh no what's this A spider web and I'm caught in the middle So I turn to run And thought of all the stupid things I'd done

 

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

 

:whaaat:

"I have my soul, heart disease, all drugs, I think my hand in it all right medicine"

 

Ode to Deodorant

"It's medicine for the soul, it's medicine for the mind, it picks me up and makes me whole, it makes me feel all right"

 

 

 

another one:

 

I missed the opportunity of healing out of the Caribbean Sea is my part? I AM sick or some?

 

 

Come out upon my seas

Cursed missed opportunities

Am I a part of the cure?

Or am I part of the disease?

 

Nice! My next one is totally deep! :o

 

"Our intention is to win a mystery"

 

"Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm across"

 

I don't know how it got so short but here's the translation to prove I didn't do anything weird to it!

This is addictive!!

Thanks! :laugh4:

 

"However, you can listen to clear, please do not select customers."

 

And it's you I see

But you don't see me

And it's you I hear

So loud and so clear

 

 

 

I'm laughing so much!!

I'll bookmark this into my "procrastination" folder now. :lol:

"Other problems in life, I love you"

 

Nothing matters Except life and the love you make

 

Singing: 1 one's head, shot an apple all implicit

 

Singing: Come out, all things unsaid Shoot an apple off my head

 

"However, I now have a problem do not care to participate in the actual smoke"

 

 

"And the hardest part Was letting go not taking part You really broke my heart" Some of these have practically no resemblance to the original! :shrug:

 

"I do every morning, please hang up the missing piece of the puzzle"

 

I am a puzzle you're the missing piece Hang on a minute just a minute please I'll come And everything under the sun

 

I like this! This should go in Lounge games too for any song lyric

 

The beauty of our lives is our world

 

We Live in a beautiful world, yeah we do yeah we do

 

:lol: this is another thing to waste my time in when I'm bored :P

 

"Battle stones and bones, all sunk in"

 

Bones sinking like stones

All that we fought for
