The TV and I

The TV and I

To paraphrase Li Bai:

All the birds have flown and gone
A remote control hangs leisurely by
We never tire of looking at each other
Only the TV and I.

The birds have vanished down the sky
Now the last channel flicks away
We sit together, the TV and I
Until only the TV remains.

Long Weekend of Lyrics Translations

Long Weekend of Lyrics Translations

Oh, you missed the lyrics translations?  I did, too.

For this long weekend, I decided to take a pop music playlist from my iTunes library (yes, I use ten-year-old technology to play my music) and took note of the first ten songs that played.  It was rather unfortunate, since all ten songs are translate-able.

OK, I’m not a very good political blogger, entertainment blogger, events blogger… but I’m the best fuckin’ lyrics translator on the Internet today and ain’t nobody gonna take that out of me, dammit.  Oh yes, I may rant about how sucky my writing is, but I’m that damn fuckin’ good when it comes to lyrics translations.  Which means that:

  • I have a wicked-A library of songs.
  • I have too much free time on my hands.
  • There may be truth to the rumor that I’m psychologically unstable.

So here we go… and since I’m a little rusty not doing this for a while, I can only do eight.
