Speaking of Translations... 1

[grande]

I'm a big fan of the ska band Voodoo Glow Skulls. My favourite song goes by the name of El Mas Chingon.

I've tried many online translators to get the English lyrics (or an approximation thereof), but I can't seem to find an accurate one. I think there might be slang or "naughty words" in it that aren't being translated (Vato and Chingon never get translated, for example).

Can anyone tell me what they're talking about?

Yo soy un vato espantoso
Los otros se ponen muy nerviosos

YO SOY EL MAS CHINGON!!

Que chido son las noches de tequila
Borracho y cantando la misma cancion

Solo mis amigos me pueden aquietar
Porque yo soy el mas chingon

Mi ferocidad se siente asta Mexico
Es donde mi arbol retono
Soy una rama con espinas
Del bosque el mas chingon

Those wouldn't be shameless self-promotions for "Punster of the Month", now would they? Regardless, I'm impressed !

Nope, he always writes that way. And if I remember correctly, he talks that way in person too (although the latter part of the night got a bit hazy).

Dave,

I've toyed with this amazing language ever since joining TT in Dec. 2004, long before the Punmoister idea was suggested.

And however wet my appetite, I shun self-promos.

Besides, "flowery" speech doesn't deserve a petalstool. Shoot, someone might crap their bloomers.

I haven't read this thread and I do not know Spanish but I want to try translating it:

Yo soy un vato espantoso
Soy sause in Spanish food
Los otros se ponen muy nerviosos
Makes me very nervous and crazy!

YO SOY EL MAS CHINGON!!
Yo see soy on my new chignon!

Que chido son las noches de tequila
Who's child son got tequila last night
Borracho y cantando la misma cancion
Bum had no concience or little

Solo mis amigos me pueden aquietar
He drunk it all alone while playing guitar
Porque yo soy el mas chingon
Swine! You ruined my chignon

Mi ferocidad se siente asta Mexico
I am affraid to go to Mexice
Es donde mi arbol retono
I am affraid I won't forget
Soy una rama con espinas
Soy sause on my new chignon
Del bosque el mas chingon
That ruined my new chignon...

Surely, TS[blue]Dragon[/blue] has the [red]beast[/red] handle on the site.

Greg, please accept my favorite compliment: "I wish I'd said that."

Too damn funny. If I can get my big ol' butt off the floor, I'll write some more. Just don't hit me - I'm opposed to violets.

CrystaLv,

Wow! I suggest that you consider foreign service. You have a natural propensity for the Spanish Language.

You have nothing to be embarazada about.

Tim:

You know, I was watching the Royal Philharmonic on the television the other day, and that's when I came to the conclusion that there was far too much sax and violins on TV.

I was once asked to be on the board of education. I said "I'm already bored of education. I didn't mind school, it was just the principal of the thing."

Another friend asked me when I was going to retire. I told him I was still working on being tired the first time.

When I went to the stylist, she told me "Your hair is thinning". I said "That's OK, who wants fat hair? At least I know my diet is working SOMEWHERE!"

Guess mine could be described as sypathy pains if your feeling them too.

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[SilentAiche]

Apologies if my posts have caused "a fence"...

Sometimes I, [blue]two[/blue], have spells of sypathy pains.

Tim - I doubt your posts ever cause "a fence"

They're not barbed, they're not linked, no one gets board reading them, and I know of no plans to picket them.

I hope this post doesn't foil any of your ideas.

John,

I know you didn't mean to, but you just [green]blew[/green] my en[green]tire[/green] pun about [blue]alum[/blue]inum - the early version involved giving tin[red]*[/red] cents to the metalclergy.

Then there's that whole Reynolds Aluminum stuff, and Reynolds Tobacco, and RJR's "purchase" of WFU.

I'll drop this for now - consider it a Reynolds Wrap!
