kik 1,564 Posted September 10, 2015 I often translate English songs in French and it's impossible to make a Lana song pretty in French with just a general translation. It just sound totally retarded, but it's very funny! Ma pelotte goûte le RC cola Mes yeux sont grands comme des Joe Louis Je trippe sur les p'tits vieux Ça a toujours été de même Fak fais pas ta face outrée (That's my ugly french canadian redneck version) Sorry it's a spanish thread but I couldn't resist. La partie en français dans Carmen est tellement malaisante / the French part in Carmen makes me so uncomfortable. C'est risible / it's laughable 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baby V Alex 2,859 Posted September 10, 2015 I dare someone to translate a part of OTTR Mi viejo es un hombre malo No lo puedo negar por la forma en que toma mi mano Me abraza, me tiene agarrada del corazón No le importa mi pasado en Las Vegas No le importa mi mala reputación en LA Me ama con cada latido de su cocainómano corazón Belleza del reflejo de la piscina Bikini blanco con mi barniz rojo Observame en la piscina Tiras azules, tú sentado bebiendo Cristal negro Oh yeah Luz de mi vida, fuego de mis entrañas Se bueno, haz lo que yo quiera Luz de mi vida, fuego de mis entrañas Dame las monedas de oro, dame las monedas. nickiminajmileywhatsgood.gif 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlueJeans 2,606 Posted September 10, 2015 Ma pelotte goûte le RC cola Mes yeux sont grands comme des Joe Louis Je trippe sur les p'tits vieux Ça a toujours été de même Fak fais pas ta face outrée Ma chatte goûte le Pepsi ColaMes yeux sont larges comme des tartes aux cerises J'ai un penchant pour les hommes plus âgés Il en a toujours été ainsi Donc ce n'est pas une surprise English songs translated in French instant lu sound bad. Even english texts that aren't deep or anything. Example : Umbrella by Rihanna. Just the mere fact or stuttering "parapluie-apluie-apluie-ie-ie" sounds ludacrous in Moliere's language. French lyrics have to be poetic otherwise, they quickly get cringy imo... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Limelight 4,708 Posted September 10, 2015 Wow this all sounds sooooo sexy. In French it would look particularly terrible. Spanish is the most beautiful language ever I understand both and I can tell you that for me it really depends on the accent (the Spanish one is ugly as fuck for example and the one from Buenos Aires makes my legs weak). French is more beautiful in my opinion 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gecko 247 Posted September 10, 2015 la mia figa sa di pepsi cola @@Gecko -- I have never understood why Lana mentioned cakes in Y&B. Y&B Ho visto il mondo fatto tutto, mangiato anche la torta diamanti, brillanti e adsso Bel-Air le notti calde di metà luglio quando io e te eravamo per sempre selvaggi i giorni folli, le luci della città il modo in cui giocavi con me come una bambina Mi amerai lo stesso quando non sarò più giovane e bella? Mi amerai lo stesso quando non avrò null'altro che la mia anima dolorante? So che lo farai, so che lo farai so che lo farai Mi amerai lo stesso quando non sarò più bella?

Limelight 4,708 Posted September 10, 2015 -- I have never understood why Lana mentioned cakes in Y&B. In Lolita she says 'I want my cake and I want to eat it too' and in Y&B she's saying how she's seen the world and 'had her cake' Btw, the lyrics sound so beautiful The video though 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridiculous, I know, but the meaning is similar to the Argentinian saying: "querés el pan y la torta" o "querés la chancha y los veinte". I recently used this regarding a guy who's married and has kids but also has lovers and wants to be free and alone whenever he feels like it. I mean, you can't have it both ways, you know? All of this to say Lana means she wants to have it all, without having to choose only one option in "Lolita" and in "Y&B" it's like, she already was able to live this. At least that's my humble take 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
