LOST IN TRANSLATION
Right we have quite a number of different races gathered at this Tourney, so let's try another game! For this one all you have to do is put the lyrics in the post above you into Google Translate and translate them into a different language.
BUT before you post them back on here, translate them back to English and then stick 'em up! You'll find that not everything translates...
Anyway, our starting song is.... THE FINE BREW OF THE GREEN DRAGON! Sung by Meriadoc and Peregrin in Rohan! Here are the lyrics:
Oh you can search far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we're drinking in our town.
You can kick your fancy ales.
You can drink em by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true . . .
Comes from the Green Dragon!

Round 1: Translated to Yiddish and back again
Oh you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
Like the one verre drinking in our city.
You can kick your imagination all.
You can drink there by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true. . .
Comes from the Green Dragon!

...Can I do this? Looks super fun >.<
Okay, translating into Español and back again:
Oh, you can search everywhere,
You can drink the whole town dry.
You will never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As we are drinking in our city.
You can put your beers luxury.
You can drink em by the carafe.
But the only beer for the brave and true. . .
Comes from the Green Dragon!

So I though Basque (being a bit of a weird language that sits in a corner by itself being antisocial) might be fun to use.
Basque and back:
Oh you can search far and wide,
You can drink a town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
We are drinking our country as one.
You can kick your fancy ales.
You can drink 'em by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true. . .
Green Dragon is coming!

And because I'm supposed to be reading essays on postcolonialism at the moment I'm adding a bonus translation to Igbo and back so I feel like I'm doing some work towards my degree...
Igbo and back:
Oh, you may want to look at the breath,
You can drink all the city dry.
You will find a beer so brown
But you will find a beer so brown
As we drank our city.
You cannot your fancy ales.
You can drink em by the flagon.
But the only brew for the confidence and good. . .
Coming to the Green Dragon!

Russian and back again:
Oh you can find far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our city.
You fancy ales.
You can drink it on the bottle.
But the only brew brave and true.
Comes from the Green Dragon!

Awesome let's try doing multiple layers of translation and see where we get so instead of copying and pasting the original lyrics, copy and paste the lyrics above you into google translate and we'll see where it goes from there ^.^ So I'll do use Ette's Russian and back again and the next person uses my one!
So here's from Russian to English to Latin to English XD
Far away Oh,
You can drink the whole town dry.
You'll never find a beer so brown
So brown But you will find, nor pain,
To drink for a single state.
Ales prune.
You can drink in the bottle.
Now there is but one man, and a true and strong brew.
Comes from the Green Dragon!

A man now, is true of the strong brew, is there.

The man is the reason for the strong brew that.

At a distance
You can drink the whole city of drying.

Consumption in a country.

I don't know why it's getting really scary ;P Perhaps Google translate has a really pessimistic view on the world ^.^

I think one of the languages we used didn't like how happy the song was....

Get in black
And brown, but the pain,
The use of the land.
Part number.
You can not drink the cup.
Because of strong beer.

It is actually really tempting to send this to an English teacher and ask them what they make of it ;P It'd be amazing if someone saw Google Translate's work as artistic XD
