Alright so I nerded out just now and accidentally a whole song.
Translated it into english that is.
The song in question is Spinal's theme for the xBox One Killer Instinct, which is sung by a swedish choir. But instead of posting just this, I was thinking we could do something more with this!
So! If you speak another language than english, and there's a song that uses your language (or a language you know), you can post the original, and your own translation into english here!
Or, if you know more than one language, you can use this place to exercise your skills in that language by translating into it from the language you know from english, and post the result here!
People could also post requests if they would want a certain song that they like translated, maybe because they like it, but they don't know what they are singing. So anyone who wants can pick them up like missions or something and have fun with translating!
I will post an example below, since I did just translate the whole Spinal theme. I hope more people will contribute, this could be a fun thing!
Song: Spinal's Theme from Killer Instict
Original lyrics:
Kung och furste. Krigare. Kejsare. Härskare.
Kropp av ben. Inget hjärta. Döpt i blod. Själlös. Livlös. (x3)
Ond demon, folkets hjälte. Hemlös gud, vilar här.
Kropp av ben. Inget hjärta. Döpt i blod. Själlös. Livlös.
Dö! Dö! Dö! Dö! Dö! Dö! Dö! Dö!
Skogen den brakar, boskap på flykt, fienden bränner våra marker.
Rasslar med svärd och slår på sköldar, redo att dräpa oss nu.
Vi ber till dig Spinal, lämna din grav, bli våran hövding ta till havet.
Skänk oss din styrka vid denna strid. Vakna vakna, mäktiga gud.
Mörkret det faller, över vårt land, vindarna viner, marken skakar.
Fienden samlas runt vårt rike, redo att kuva oss nu.
Krigare samlas vid helig grav, kallar på Spinal, krigarguden.
Hjälp vi behöver vid denna strid, fräls oss, fräls oss, mäktiga gud.
Flå! Flå! Flå!
Skogen den brakar, boskap på flykt, fienden bränner våra marker.
Rasslar med svärd och slår på sköldar, redo att dräpa oss nu.
Vi äter oss svampar för kraft och rus, plocka fram yxor, brynjor, hjälmar.
Med guden Spinals krafter och mod. Segern, segern, segern är vår.
Folket de skriker efter vår hjälp, Spinal han vaknar, lämnar graven.
Med kraftigt tjut, han samlar trupper, redo att slåss för oss nu.
Vi ber till dig Spinal, lämna din grav, bli våran hövding, ta till havet.
Skänk oss din styrka i denna strid. Vakna vakna, mäktiga gud.
Flå! Flå! Flå!
Sock's translation into English:
Born of the first. Warrior. Emperor. Ruler.
Body of bone. No heart. Baptized in blood. Soulless. Lifeless. (x3)
Evil demon, hero of the people. Homeless god, resting here.
Body of bone. No heart. Baptized in blood. Soulless. Lifeless.
Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
The forest is breaking, cattle's escaping, the enemy's burning our lands.
Rattling with swords and pounding on shields, ready to kill us now.
We pray to you Spinal, leave your grave, become our chieftan, take up arms.
Gift us your strength for this battle. Awake, awake, mighty god.
The darkness is falling, over our land, the winds are blowing, the ground is shaking.
The enemy gathers around our kingdom, ready to break us now.
Warriors gather by holy grave, calls for Spinal, the warring god.
Help we need for this battle. bless us, bless us, mighty god.
Flay! Flay! Flay!
The forest is breaking, cattle's escaping, the enemy's burning our lands.
Rattling with swords and pounding on shields, ready to kill us now.
We eat mushrooms for power and rush, pick up axes, chainmail, helmets.
With the god Spinal's powers and courage. Victory, victory, victory's ours.
The people is screaming for our help, Spinal he wakes, leaves his grave.
With roar of power, he gathers troops, ready to fight for us now.
We pray to you Spinal, leave your grave, become our chieftan, take up arms.
Gift us your strength for this battle. Awake, awake, mighty god.
Flay! Flay! Flay!
And there we go! Special notes: I couldn't find 'official' lyrics so it might be that I misheard some word, it was difficult to hear whether they said "Ta till vapnet" (take up arms) or "Ta till havet" (take to the sea) for example.
