I've just gone from looking up a transcendentally beautiful mediaeval hymn to Mary Magdalene (O Maria, prius via), to this thread. Sublimes with the ridiculous one, as the translator would have it.

Just has in love meringues to all of you!

This doesn't fare too badly:

The proud ************* proud Maisrie

of Maisrie amounts to the door of its father
directly like magic pasture staff
to it a gardner child,
with a red in its hand put up come there,
its hand red from A in its hand put up.

And it to have mine it waived well fairly,
if you will give me your flower,
and under which I will make a dress for thee for flowers
in yard of your father,
will make for thee I a dress for thee.

The lily space bar will be its shirt,

and the concern waived your stays to be,
with a red at your center, your center

Their dress the parfuemierte thymian,

just has in love meringues and is connected and connected,

Their gloves will be the clover flower,
those pour là-bas in the lawn out,
I them honestly with the poppies will sew,
which develop under corn, corn,

Their feet, which I will tighten with the red road the shoes,
that one develops in the garden fine,
I rayeront it with the fairy taleful ferns,

For, since you made a dress for me,
under which summers flowers,
then I clothes the thee under the winter showers showers
under the winter showers will make.

The white milk snow will be your shirt,
which embraces cold weather of your body,
and which will be rigid rains your coat
with a black thunderstorm in its face your face
with a black thunderstorm in your face.

The horse, which you will put up at the time,
will be the winter impact,
I a brake at it with the breath of the wind of the north will place
and at the measurer pointed showers of the hail of the hail
and at the measurer pointed showers of the hail.

The hat of the clouds on your head

and each time that, which you ignore close,
I will wish myself you far far far

Whose idea was this?? I just spent ages putting each line in separately. This one doesn't seem to be too far from the original in parts, but it's worth it for the last two lines of verse 4 alone. (Amazing what digital technology and cameras do for translation of what I would have thought to be a fairly standard word!!!)




When I which eighteen I took a wife
I loved it dear, while I loved my life
Maintain and for their tidy and homosexual
I went robbing on the highway of the king

I robbed never each poor man already
Still I was not in the debt of dealers,
But I robbed the homosexuals lords and the ladies
And I carried the gold for house to my love immediately


To the garden of the Amors I away
To the garden of the Amors for to see to the play
Group of the lord Fangen's, whom I exercise there did
And I was taken by the verfluchten crew

My father cried "Oh my sweet son"
My wife, those it cried and cried "I is annuliert"
My nut/mother, if she tore her grey bolting devices up violently, cried
"Oh- in its photograph device, which it should have died"

Now, when I went dead and to my grave
Flashy a funeral, which I crave
Left no however fat robbers to follow it me
Give them good broadswords and sweet liberty

And you give them flowers and sweet nosegays all
That they can say, when they speak the truth

Just one more! Actually, I'm amazed at how badly mangled some songs end up, considering how basic the lyrics are to most old-time stuff. A lot of what I translated was beyond unintelligible.

I am most courageous cowboy
to fly, how, who never to the west
I everywhere went,
which is received rocky from the balls in my center

in eighteen hundred sixty-three,
I the emigrant volume connected
we went from San Antonio
through large Rio

I come out on the meadow
I the line to throw in such a way downward learned
I learned at the pocket money,
but at me much to have equipped it does not amend

come out to the meadow, and I learned to fly,
and, if I stole this cowboy, as lucky I felt,
have one large brimmed white hat
my saddle was carried also very well,
and if bet that I called the clay/tone mien

I went before it for beauty
for the love, it was in vain,
until they carried me avalent in Dallas,
over a ball to be carried and chained

I should rather then be been in Richmond in all heat and the rain,
in Georgia which carries the ball and the chain.

I went to the bottom mobiles,
in which gravel train,
they intended to penetrate the following thing of me
I which carry the ball and the chain.

Knoxville is good a pretty place,

A suggestion, if you haven't already figured it out, translate one verse at a time and and cut and paste to wordpad. Reconstruct the pattern like the original and add the additional verses and choruses as you go. I found when I tried to do the whole song at once, the lines got mixed up and out of order. I found this out by the third one.

If an owner of house resorts to a sale, you do not think only him they for of Bosheit corner; It functions of the major conviction, and what is right, is finally what is right.

and, its approach which it was like Swan right-hand side,

in dependent top with a volume of black velvet.

I took schlendern with this pretty suitable girl,
and a Mister who leads us beyond that,

Its guard, it of its bag took
and placed it enough in my hand
and was very first the thing which I said,

Far from your friends and relations,

And very first the thing which you know,

It can be really hard to find where the verses start and finish. In this one, two of the verses seemed to be hopelessly entwined, so I left them together.

OH- lieb-O! OH- lieb-O! Me husband of courage in him not to receive. OH- lieb-O!

me husband can dance and Kapriole and all those to sing and make who installs for him, but it cannot make the thing which I wish, because it does not have courage in him

of all the kind of vittles placed at the disposal me has the type of meat which for him with of Auster the cake and rhubarb also install, but still it does not have courage in him

each night, I are more o'er it throws me to leg and clip hand I between its thighs filters of the long years use it me its bed and each night formed which I am beside him, but I did not increase this morning with me, maidenhead for calms have you him courage in him

me wishes the husband who would have died to him and in his tomb me him this song as me the husband would quickly sing to me to put and then I would find the other which did not have a little courage in him

Dido Bendigo

while I during a one morning the last autumn to arrive,
overheard I slightly splendid Foxhunting,
between two noblemen and Herzog Buckingham,
if early, right the day to be born there.

It there had of Dido, Bendigo, Gentry which it was there-o,
the piece of race, never looked at there had him behind him,
him of Countess, Rover, left Bonny, and Jover,
those was hounds which could find it.

* source the first fox, which young person it,
and its right to start tentative,
it right for the river to far form,
it it high hill yon to run to leave
and descend weak Kieme yon and to think,
which it its freedom there for always finding.

Sources the following fox which is old,
and its attempts behind being born,
it is precisely formed far from the well for the river,
the fox which it jumped inside, but Hound' S which was jumped after him,
was to it the piece of race which was destroyed to him there for always.

Wells it ran on the level
but they have it soon still,
hounds the fox are never removed,
decreasing twelve months right today be,
since I heard that said Squire,
"listen to you, ahead, my courageous hounds for always"

I reckon that after 12 pints some folks could nearly sing that.

In 1814 to take to us a small voyage,
in collaboration with colonel Jackson to the bottom powerful Mississip. We took little a bacon and we took small beans,
and we fought the bloody British in the city of New-Orleans.

We did not supply our rifles and with the British held comin',
were there thus which much End, like ahead a moment ago.
We fed to them and began still runnin'
on to the bottom the Mississippi with the Gulf of Mexico.

OH - that we looked to the bottom the river and us who were seen coming the British.
It must y have had hundred of the 'EM-beatin' on a drum.
They took a step, therefore strongly and they formed their ring of horn.
We were behind our packages of cotton and did not say a thing.

We held our fire with us seen well their faces,

We fed to them and began still runnin'

We fed in our Cannons, until the barrels melt downwards,

We filled his head cannonballs and pulverized centres,
and when we have affected far the powder, lost which gator its entendement.

We did not supply our rifles and with the British held comin',

Ran by the shrubs, in which a rabbit could not go
