Original lyrics | Translated lyrics |
Some men hunt for sport, | We have to play with the men |
Others hunt for food, | Other food wolves |
The only thing I'm hunting for, | All I'm looking for, |
Is an outfit that looks good... | There is a dress that looks good ... |
See my vest, see my vest, | Look at my vest, look at my west, |
Made from real gorilla chest, | Made by the actual gorilla diet, |
Feel this sweater, there's no better, | Feel this sweater, it's not better |
Than authentic Irish setter. | To receive a setter forth of Ireland in regard to things. |
See this hat, 'twas my cat, | See the hat, "my cat" |
My evening wear - vampire bat, | My evening dress - vampire bat, |
These white slippers are albino | These white shoes are albino. |
African endangered rhino. | African witches are threatened with extinction. |
Grizzly bear underwear, | Grizzly bear underwear, |
Turtles' necks, I've got my share, | Turtle neck, I'm on my side, |
Beret of poodle, on my noodle | Beer beer, my noodles |
It shall rest, | He will rest, |
Try my red robin suit, | Robin, because the cause of that was red; |
It comes one breast or two, | One or two breasts come |
See my vest, see my vest, | Check out the vest, look at the vest, |
See my vest. | Vest check out |
Like my loafers? Former gophers - | Like my pumpkin? Old Secret - |
It was that or skin my chauffeurs, | That's the skin of my drivers, |
But a greyhound fur tuxedo | A tuxedo made of greyhound fur. |
Would be best, | But if that was the best thing, |
So let's prepare these dogs, | Let us go, then, sing their preparations; |
(Kill two for matching clogs,) | (Kill two by matching wooden shoes) |
See my vest, see my vest, | Look at my vest, look at my west, |
see my vest | my video |
Like my loafers? Former gophers - | Loafers like me? Former Gophers - |
It was that or skin my chauffeurs, | This driver was my skin, |
But a greyhound fur tuxedo | But bad fur |
Would be best, | It would be better |
So let's prepare these dogs, | So we prepare these dogs, |
(Kill two for matching clogs,) | (Killing two Turks); |
See my vest, see my vest, | See, see it in her arms |
oh please won't you see my vest | Oh, please, do not see my jacket |

Simpsons: See My Vest
A season six episode of the Simpsons from 1995, Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, has a plot that is heavily inspired by the Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmations, where Mr. Burns intends to steal twenty five greyhound puppies for a tuxedo. As if his animal creulty beliefs weren't strong enough, he has a whole song about how he turns creatures into clothes, to the music of Beauty and the Beast's Be Our Guest. What if we asked Abe Simpson what he heard if he listened to the song?

Nursery Rhymes
This is the first, and so far only, request. The translated material? The nursery rhymes you likely grew up hearing.
First, we enter a puppet show that goes into the origin story.
You'd need to be a lunatic to see the sense of this diddle diddle.
Hungarian currency is a victim in this haiku.
Where the finances are based on animal activity.
I'm open to further requests, so if you have any please put them in the comments section below.

Baa, baa, black sheep, | Baa, baa, black sheep, |
Have you any wool? | Are you any wool? |
Yes, sir, yes, sir, | Yes, Lord, |
Three bags full; | Three bags full. |
One for the master, | One of the masters, |
And one for the dame, | And to make a lady, |
And one for the little boy | And for a boy |
Who lives down the lane | Who is lying |
You'd need to be a lunatic to see the sense of this diddle diddle.
Original line | Translated line |
Hey Diddle Diddle, | Heideby Dilong, |
The cat and the fiddle, | Take a fish, |
The cow jumped over the moon. | The cow was flying in a month. |
The little dog laughed, | Leave the little dog alone, |
To see such sport, | To see this, |
And the dish ran away with the spoon | Its arrow was springs of water |
Hungarian currency is a victim in this haiku.
Original line | Translated line |
Jack and Jill | Jack and Jill |
Went up the hill | Went up the hill. |
To fetch a pail of water | Remove water |
Jack fell down | Jack ready |
And broke his crown, | However, Korona damage, |
And Jill came tumbling after. | Jill was. |
Where the finances are based on animal activity.

Old MacDonald had a farm | It was the old McDonald economy |
E-I-E-I-O | And NIA-e-o-ha |
And on this farm he had a cow | And the farm was a cow |

With a moo-moo here | This is Moo-Moo |
And a moo-moo there | And there's a zoo |
Here a moo, there a moo | Here zoo, it's Moo |
Everywhere a moo-moo | monkeys everywhere |
Old MacDonald had a farm | It was the old McDonald economy |

Horoscope: January 8th
You see them in the newspaper, the TV guide and those tabloids that always seem to occupy the waiting area of take outs and the waiting room for the doctor or dentist. You may even have a quick skim if you're not in a rush.

Astonishingly it makes more sense than you'd expect...

Film: Airplane (1980)
What’s Google Translate? It’s a polylingual word mangler, but that’s not important right now.
In 1980 a film written by David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams wrote and directed Airplane! (titled Flying High! in Australia and New Zealand), a film that takes the plot of the film Zero Hour!, and twists it to become a parody of the disaster film genre. It’s a very well known film because of its non-stop jokes and very quotable lines. Let’s take some and turn them into something even Johnny would stop and pause to look at.

Original quote | Translated quote |
It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit. | It was a difficult place - worst management of a mule. With each marriage and brave in Bombay Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit. |
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. | I chose the wrong week to quit smoking. |
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. | I'm serious And Simon doesn't speak. |
Shana, they bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash! | Small, so that train tickets have been purchased last. I knew I'd go to them. I refuse it, let's say! |
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking. We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused. This is due to periodic air pockets we encountered. There's no reason to become alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? | Mothers and brothers, this is your authority. We are grateful for the inconvenience that created a building process. This is due to the plane based. There is no reason to worry about us and we hope you enjoy the rest of the plane. On the way, is there any person on the plane that is known to fly on the plane? |

TV: My name is Victoria Winters
In 1966 ABC aired the premiere episode of Dark Shadows, a gothic soap opera that became well known by taking the gothic atmosphere, supernatural happenings and literature and cinema of the time and mixing it with the typical soap opera dysfunction. However it started out a lot differently, initially following a newly employed governess and her search for answers. As Vicki says:
"My name is Victoria Winters. My journey is beginning, a journey that I hope will open the doors of life to me and link my past with my future, a journey that will bring me to a strange and dark place, to the edge of the sea, high atop Widows' Hill, a house called Collinwood, a world I've never known, with people I've never met, people who tonight are still only shadows in my mind, but who will soon fill the days and nights of my tomorrows."
Now the very first lines ever spoken on the show will face a force that even the Dark Lord trembles in fear of, Google Translate...
Victoria my name winter. My journey is expected, that will open up the doors of life to me and get in touch with my future trip will give me an amazing place and darkness will take my time, the sea, the hills, the house A world that is called Collinwood I started in on the edge of ever, a travel people I have never met, but people are not the only time in their mental shadow, but some days, and my days will be tomorrow. For
Yeah, the run on sentence didn't help the weirdness.

Here's the official music video if you need to consult on the music
Original Lyrics | Translated lyrics |
I find it hard to say the things I want to say the most | I find it hard to say that I want to say that that matters most |
Find a little bit of steady as I get close | It is fixed, the things will come a little closer |
Find a balance in the middle of the chaos | Find a balance in the midst of chaos |
Send me low, send me high, send me never demigod | Today I will never be able to send a low virgin |
I remember walking in the cold of November | Remember to be cooled in November |
Hoping that I make it to the end of December | Hope for the end of December |
27 years and the end of my mind | My last 27 years |
But holding to the thought of another time | But only to keep the thought |
But looking to the ways at the ones before me | And even then, does not it have to see the way? |
Looking for the path of the young and lonely | You were the only one looking for a young man and was doing a trip |
I don't want to hear about what to do | Do not listen to anybody |
I don’t want to do it just to do it for you | We want to do what you do |
Hello, hello | Hi Hi |
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero | He said: Truly, I say to you that it is zero |
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel | I feel that I am always with me, and I will show it to you who he looks like: |
Like I’m empty and there's nothing really real, real | I am empty and nothing is real, true |
I'm looking for a way out | After that? |
Hello, hello | Hello Hello |
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero | And he said: I tell you that it is not |
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel | Let me show you how you feel, feel |
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real | I want to see something that is very true |
I'm looking for a way out | Then me? |
I find it hard to tell you how I want to run away | It's hard to say they want to talk |
I understand it always makes you feel a certain way | Let me think about it, the ability to experience |
I find a balance in the middle of the chaos | I can not find in the middle of the balance |
Send me up, send me down, send me never demigod | Let me go away, they have sent me or God |
I remember walkin’ in the heat of the summer | And remember Walkin 'heat in the summer |
Wide-eyed one with a mind full of wonder | Googly eyes, with a trance |
27 years and I’ve nothing to show | Nothing will show 27 years |
Falling from the doves to the dark of the crow | Dark pigeons with raven fall |
Looking to the ways of the ones before me | Call now in front of your eyes |
Looking for the path of the young and lonely | You are looking for young people and travel alone |
I don't want to hear about what to do, no | What they want to listen to can not hurt, |
I don’t want to do it just to do it for you | We want you |
Hello, hello | Hello Hello |
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero | He said: Truly, I say to you that it is zero |
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel | I feel it, I'll show you who he is like me, and should at all times, feel, |
Like I'm empty and there’s nothing really real, real | I am empty and nothing like reality, real |
I'm looking for a way out | Then me? |
Hello, hello | Hi Hi |
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero | And he said: I tell you that it is not |
Let me show you what it's like to never feel, feel | I feel you have to pretend; |
Like I'm good enough for anything that's real, real | I want to see something that is absolutely real |
I'm looking for a way out | After that? |
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout it | I have a problem that you say you want to fight |
Maybe you're the same as me | Maybe you are like me |
Let me tell you 'bout it, well let me tell you 'bout it | I have a problem that you say you want to fight |
They say the truth will set you free | They tell you the truth |
Hello, hello | Hello Hello |
Let me tell you what it's like to be a zero, zero | He said: Truly, I say to you that it is zero |
Let me show you what it's like to always feel, feel | I feel it, I will show you who is like me and should always feel, |
Like I'm empty and there's nothing really real, real | I am empty and nothing is real, true |
I'm looking for a way out | Then me? |

Introduction
Hi everybody,
This blog will be all about taking advantage of free web translation services, namely Google Translate. The premise is simple, put some text, being it song lyrics, quotes, lines of dialogue, ad slogans etc, put it in Google Translate, run the text through a bunch of languages and back into english, and see what's come out. That's pretty much it. No big lofty goals, just something to make you smile if you're in the mood or having a rough day.
I'm aiming to publish new translations Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, an hoping to stockpile enough material to keep this going for a while.
For requests, please note that I will only be translating what is legally free and available to the public, and will not translate any content like book passages or particularly spoilerific or plot heavy material relating to narratives like books, TV show and movies. Classic material like Shakespeare is fair game though, and it's been around long enough that statute of limitations on spoilers ran out years and years ago. Any audiovisual material will be linked to on the post, and if limited excerpts are all there is, links to where the material can be purchased will be provided.
