J'ai Fait Une (P)romesse

[cedarbreed]

The road the willow bows down on top of brook
Like a person who goes down himself ( 'kills himself' also works in slang), [pitying for the dead]
The road the willow bows down on top of brook
Like a person who goes down himself ( 'kills himself' also works in slang), [pitying for the dead]
Reminds me of she-autumn the previous, fallen in reverence
I am pledged myself, I am pledged myself, I am pledged myself to you
I am pledged myself, I am pledged myself, I am pledged myself to you


Honestly I had never noticed it was in online-translated Frog.
Rhaaaaaaaaa nevermind, the tune is nice

 

[rafael]

I was about to ask my mate to translate it for me...

 

[Mariner]

well i think there wasnt a big need for a translation hahaha

 

[cedarbreed]

Well, the correct version would be like :

La manière dont le saule s'incline au dessus du ruisseau
Comme une personne qui se penche pour plaindre les morts
Me rapelle l'automne précédent, tombé en révérence (?)
Je me suis engagé à vous ...

or something like that ...

The way the willow bows over the brook
Like a person leaning over to mourn the dead
Reminds me of last fall, fallen in reverence
When I pledged myself to you

Like !

Our English may be far from perfect, but it's not like you English men can speak other languages nearly as good as we can talk English eh

 

[Mariner]

yep haha

 

[somnium_in_tenebris]

Our English may be far from perfect, but it's not like you English men can speak other languages ...

...at all.

 

[mehdi.i.e.e.e]

[Bastet]

Our English may be far from perfect, but it's not like you English men can speak other languages nearly as good as we can talk English eh

exactly my thoughts...

 

[Bambi]

why bother learning jonny foreign languages when johnny foreign has to learn english??

 

[Cerulean]

Ah you should be happy! It's so much easier for us to lower ourselves to your level than when you have to suffer big time learning our complicated languages

I am, hence, a grand admirer of thus partaking in the glory of the English language, albeit a tad 'peasant like'. Thus doth henceforth a therefore entitled 'international status quo' in peasant-speak. It can be considered a a forthright gesture and serves us a mutual gratification, however illiterate spaketh the alien tongue.

 

[Cerulean]

Could well be, but what the fuck can we change about it Blame schools and stuff, not us.

 

[Cerulean]

And you must be one of the few English people then who can speak other languages, as far as I know this is a pretty rare thing.

Prithy, do not aquire a sense of personal discomfort. Upon chance you may layeth the aforementioned blame on a lacklustre educational infrastructure, hence is borneth this 'peasant-speak'. Hark the Lords children, albeit alien, aside from sourly educated therein it is thus pleasant to observe. Tis not the alien child that thou blamest but the state tutorial system itself. God loveth a trier. Who would make a cuckold of himself ?
Hence doth!

The thing that really bothers me about Danish education is the focus on petty gramma issues, like the difference between it's and its , instead of vocabulary and fluent speech. All about passing exams.
