So how are "Ur Jordens Djup's" lyrics? Are they uke: ?

I dont listen to Fintroll but i decided to have a look at some of their lyrics on darklyrics.com and man are they bad.

Rough translation of Fiskarens Fiende,i´ll try to write it in a equally bad way:

"I heard a song from the depths
Under the wave(single wave),the wave so "high"(written as in several waves)
The blow cryies like a woman,with ones dead children on her back

On her back!

Lake-monster gives no cure,he sings with cold winds
Tribes of man flee like lamb,from the sea-peoples threat
Dead sea! Waves like blood
Then no god helps you
Dead sea! Waves like blood
Tonight we set out

Fishermans enemy!

 

[Jolty]

So Finntroll sings in the Swedish equivalent of Engrish?

 

[hyena]

I dont listen to Fintroll

...then you're evil.

In a recent inquiry me and a couple of friends were wondering what "pawned" is in Latin. I saw the word "oppignero" as a pretty good translation and I was wondered how to conjugate it so it means something like "You got pawned". I hope someone here can help. It is of utmost importance.

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

Vos erant oppignero.

I'm just making a quick guess here , and yes "oppignero" is "to pawn."

 

[Siren]

@Matse: You got oppignerod.

 

[Matse]

Hehe, thank you very much LBRH, although the verb (the oppignero part, the erant sounds good) seems strange to me (I think it needs to be conjugated in some way), but I have close to no idea about Latin.

 

[Dark_Silence]

the infinitive of the verb is actually "oppignare". The translation could be something like "oppignatus es" if "you" was singular, or "oppignati estis" if "you" was plural

 

[Matse]

Thank you very much, too.

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

Hehe, thank you very much LBRH, although the verb (the oppignero part, the erant sounds good) seems strange to me (I think it needs to be conjugated in some way), but I have close to no idea about Latin.

Ok you're welcome . Yeah I was basically guessing, it's been years since I studied Latin . Dark_Silence's one seems better .

 

[Dark_Silence]

last time i had a latin class was 3,5 years ago, and i dont have my grammar books and dictionary anymore so i had to look for a few things on wikipedia and online dictionaries. what i am not really sure about is which conjugation tense to use... i used Indicative Passive Perfect.

I will ask someone next week when I am back at school and then post it here. I don't have any close friends who speak a decent Latin.

Here's a question for someone with French skillz. I'm looking for translated lyrics for David TMX (if you don't listen to this guy yet, you can get all of his albums free and legal from jamendo, and you should). I can't even find lyrics for his albums, though they're probably on his website, which I can't read. Can anyone help me find the lyrics? At worst, I can probably slap them into the google translator.

 

[kittie_bread]

I'm afraid I can't translate the lyrics for you but I can help you find them!

If you click "tout TMX" at the bottom of the screen and then "ses PAROLES" A list of albums will appear on the left, click on any one for the lyrics. Now you can sing along in French

 

[Dark_Silence]

i had a quick look at the lyrics, but i am afraid i cant translate that... lots of special french expressions, and sometimes the vocabulary is quite hard, i wouldnt know how to say that in english

 

[stardrowned]

Just bought my ticket for Hellfest! However, the conditions written on the ticket are in French, so can someone please translate them for me into English? I'd really appreciate it.

It's really just a standard "user agreement" type of thing for digital tickets. In short, it says you have to print the ticket on a blank standard A4 sheet and it has to be readable. You also need to have a valid photo ID with you when you get checked for your ticket. The rest is legalese for "you're forbidden to do anything stupid with this ticket" and "you accept the show and venue rules and conditions upon purchasing this ticket", but if you want I can try translating it in full (although Dark Silence would do a much better job).

 

[stardrowned]

Thanks a lot, but I would definitely prefer if you or Dark Silence can translate the whole thing.

 

[Dark_Silence]

ok, i will do it, i have some time right now
