Fool’s fate
Един пример как преводът променя текста… дали не се отнася и за превода “мозък → уста”?
Българската версия ми харесва повече…
И в тоз последен танц на избор
аз няма да съм с теб.
Встрани стоя и пак те гледам,
но не танцувам с теб.И в тоз последен танц на избор
аз се сбогувам с теб.
Дано да те окриля тя -
аз се сбогувам с теб.И в тоз последен танц на избор
без теб танцувам с теб.
Щастлив бъди, не ме помни,
аз се сбогувам с теб.И в тоз последен танц на избор
сърцата си четем.
И няма мъка, няма скръб,
а – сбогом. Нека спрем.The Fools Poem
In that last dance of chances
I shall partner you no more.
I shall watch another turn you
As you move across the floor.In that last dance of chances
When I bid your life goodbye
I hope she treats you kindly.
I will hope you learn to fly.In that dance of chances
When I know you’ll not be mine
I will let you go with longing
And the hope that you’ll be fine.In that last dance of chances
We shall know each other’s minds,
We shall part with our regrets
When the tie no longer binds.

Recipe for a surprise
Lovely surprise

Hammerfall & Sabaton & Bloodbound – Sofia – 10.04.09
Describing music with words is close to impossible (especially for me, now…).
Therefore, I will use numbers: experience score – 9.5/10.
The rest – exalted shouts, the waves of a black sea, flickering colorful lights, throat pain, a phone, and glittering eyes… and a text message.
The last song of the concert is dedicated as my reply…
Never thought I’d feel again, feel the darkness fade and see the morning sun arise
Never thought I’d feel alive again, senses dull and blunt from all the lies
Now, when I hold your face so close to mine
I see a place where the sun will shine, with you in it’s divine
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die,
kiss me twice and I will never leave your side ! (if) Dreams Come True
Do I dare to trust this time?
Ooh, the Bells of Fortune, will I ever hear them chime?
Only those who have been burned before
truly know the meaning of Hell’s flaming core
I was the brooding night and you were dawn.
Saving me, for I was forlorn, in your light I am reborn.
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die,
kiss me twice and I will never leave your side?(if) Dreams Come True
Then, when the walls are breaking down on us, when all we see is misery
will you still believe in me?
Looking down into those eyes, I know, I’ll be lost and never found again.
Kiss me once and I will surely melt and die,
kiss me twice and I will never leave your side,
until the sign of winter, always by your side….
(Dreams Come True)

Guns ‘n’ Roses – Chinese Democracy (2009) – This I Love
And now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes.
And it might not be wise
I’d still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can’t deny
I just can’t let it die
Cause her heart’s just like mine
She holds her pain inside
So if you ask me why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can’t deny
So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes
No matter how I try
They say it’s all a lie
So what’s the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won’t die
In my heart
So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes
(Solo)
So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within her eyes
And now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I’ll never say goodbye
Guns ‘n’ Roses – Chinese Democracy (2009) – Sorry
You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think
In some way
That it’s me
An not you
(But we know that isn’t true)
You like to have me
Jump and be god
But I…
Don’t want to do it
You don’t know why
I won’t act the way
You think I should
You thought they’d make me
Behave and submit (submit)
What were you thinking
Cause I don’t forget
You don’t know why
I won’t give in
To hell with the pressure
I’m not cavin’ in
You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won’t let you win
You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you
You’ve got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
‘S a mystery to me
I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who in the hell to
or not to believe
I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe
You don’t know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You close your eyes
All well and good
I’ll kick your ass
Like I said that I would
You tell them stories they’d rather believe
Use and confuse them
They’re numb and naive
Truth is the truth hurts
Don’t you agree?
It’s harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me
Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing
I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don’t know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I’m sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won’t see them free
Won’t see them free
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won’t see them free
You don’t need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You’ve got no heart
You can’t see
All that you’ve done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart
Queensrÿche – American Soldier (2009) – Remember me
For just one minute, step into my life.
Read the page and
run away with me.
The day I made that vow.
I didn’t know then what I know today.
There’s so much to say.
I don’t know what the future holds
and I’m sorry if I seemed too cold.
A man conflicted in his head
makes poor choices, regrets the words he said.
Remember me and all the times we had.
The way I held you.
Remember me whenever you feel sad.
All I want from you
is for you to tell me that you miss me.
Will you wait for me?
Remember me…please.
Just wait one minute. Give me a chance
and I’ll make you see just what you really
mean to me.
It took a living hell to
show me. All I want is to be with you.
You know that what I say is true.
I promise when I get back home
I’ll be the man you used to know.
And I won’t spend another day
without you, girl.
I need your strength.
Please stay and
remember me and all the times we had.
The way I loved you.
Remember me whenever you feel sad.
All I want from you
is for you to tell me that you miss me.
Will you wait for me?
Remember me.
The ACS Blues
… from within the depths of my hard drive…
“Well, I woke up this morning and I had those ACS Blues
Said I woke up this morning and I had those ACS Blues
Well, I went next door
and Doctor Charles had them tooNow, I’m taking that seventy-six bus almost every single day
Said I’m taking that seventy-six bus almost every single day
I wish I was going the other wayTeachers told me learning English was as easy as puttin’ on your shoes
Teachers told me learning English was as easy as puttin’ on your shoes
But when I got my report card
The only thing I saw were twosI’m taking lots of courses, the TOEFL and the SAT
I’m taking lots of courses, the TOEFL and the SAT
And though I study every night
It’s still Greek to meSo I went to a cafe; you know I didn’t go to class
So I went to a cafe; you know I didn’t go to class
Well, Mrs. Shoteva wouldn’t help me
She wouldn’t give me no kind of passWell, I woke up this morning and I had those ACS Blues
Said I woke up this morning and I had those ACS Blues
Well, I went up to Simeonovo
and the teachers had them too”

Кратък Номски Речник
Из „Научна енциклопедия за любознателния млад ном“
ЛЕТИЩА: Места, където хората търчат насам натам като луди, а после сядат някъде и почват да чакат.
ФЛОРИДА (ИЛИ ФЛОРИДИЯ): Място, където могат да се видят АЛИГАТОРИ, ДЪЛГОШИЕСТИ МОРСКИ КОСТЕНУРКИ u КОСМИЧЕСКИ СОВАЛКИ. Интересно място — топло, мокро u има ГЪСКИ. Тук се срешат и САНДВИЧИ С БЕКОН, МАРУЛЯ И ДОМАТ. Доста по-интересно място от доста други. Като го гледаш от въздуха, прилича на нещо, забучено върху по-голямо нещо.
…
Това е част от континента. Тя стърчи на югоизток в топлото море. Повечето нейни жители я наричат Флорида.
Да ви кажа честно, всъщност повечето нейни жители не я наричат така. По-точно изобщо никак не я наричат. Те не знаят дори и че съществува. Повечето нейни жители имат по шест крака и бръмчат. Доста пък имат по осем крака и си прекарват дните, като висят по разни паяжини и чакат онези шестокраките да пристигнат за обяд. От останалите мнозина са с по четири крака и лаят, мучат или дори лежат из блатата и се преструват на кютуци. Всъщност само една мъничка-мъничка част от жителите на Флорида имат по два крака, а дори и повечето от тях не я наричат Флорида. Те предимно писукат и хвърчат насам-натам.
Математически погледнато, една почти незначителна част от жителите на Флорида я наричат Флорида. Само че именно те са най-важни. Поне според самите тях. А именно тяхното мнение има значение. Поне според самите тях.
ГЪСКА: вид птица, която лети по-бавно от КОНКОРД, например, и на нея не сервират нищо за ядене. Според номита, които я познават добре, ГЪСКАТА е най-тъпата птица, ако не броим ПАТКАТА. Тя си прекарва времето предимно в летене насам-натам. Като транспортно средство от ГЪСКАТА има още много да се желае.
КОСМОС: бива два вида: а) нещо, в което няма нищо, и b) нищо, в което има всичко. Той е онова, което ви остава, когато вече нищо не ви е останало. Там няма въздух, няма и гравитация — това последното е онова, дето крепи хората върху разните неща. Ако космосът не съществуваше, всичко щеше да е струпано на едно място.
НАУКА: Начин да откриваш разни неща и да ги караш да ти работят. Науката обяснява онова, което постоянно става около нас. РЕЛИГИЯТА също, но науката по я бива, защото, ако нещо се издъни предлага къде-къде по-разбираемо извинение. На тоя свят има много повече НАУКА, отколкото си мислите.
ЖАБИ: Някои хора си мислят, че да се знае за жабите е много важно нещо. Жабите са дребни, зелени или жълти, и имат по четири крака. Квакат. Младите жаби се наричат попови лъжички. Според мен за жабите няма какво друго да се каже.
