PURPLE HAZE
Jimi Hendrix

This purple haze is just melting my brain...
Everything feels different lately, baby...
I’m acting so strange, oh my God...
Just wait, I want to kiss the sky...

I can't tell if I'm falling or flying high...
There's this purple haze everywhere I look...
Should I keep hoping or just let out a sigh...

She cast a spell right on my eyes...
A purple haze is covering up the sky...
I can't even tell if it's day or a cursed night...
I'm losing my mind over you, baby...
Am I waiting for tomorrow, or is it the end of the world...
🙂

redcrane28 said:But doesn't "gas" mean something is fun or cool in English? Like, saying "it's a gas, gas, gaaaas!"...

Actually, the way it was written, it refers to gas as in vapor or smoke... and I wasn't the one who translated it either, since I actually started collecting these songs over twenty years ago...
👋

LIFE IS SMOKE
Life’s Just a Gas
Marc Bolan & T. Rex

I could have loved you, girl
Like a whole planet,
I could have tied your heart up
With a chain made of stars.
But none of that really matters,
Life is just smoke...

I could have built a house
on ocean,
I could have placed your love
up in the sky,
But none of that really matters,
Life is just smoke...

I could have turned you
into a saint,
I could have buried your fate
in the sand.
But none of that really matters,
None of it matters at all,
Life is just smoke...
Hope this one lasts forever...

We're mostly just combing our hair
Combing away the grime
And most times I'm cooking up some grapes...
🙏

That sounds like folk music to me...

You guys clearly don't know the story behind Vasa Ladacko. Everyone thinks they know everything, but honestly, nobody actually knows anything... anyway, let's just move on to one of the greatest songs ever written. IMAGINE...

Just imagine...
John Lennon zamisliti...

Just imagine if there were no heavens...
It’s actually pretty easy if you just give it a shot...
There's no hell waiting for us...
Just us and the endless sky...
Just imagine if everyone...
Just living for today...

Just imagine what life would be like if there were no government at all...
It's really not that hard...
Not really sure what there is to talk about...
It’s really just a matter of killing or dying...
And religion follows the same pattern...
Just imagine for a second if everyone actually lived in peace...

Just imagine a world where nobody actually owns anything...
I wonder if that's even possible...
There’s really just no need for greed or hunger...
There's just something about that sense of brotherhood among people...
Just imagine if everyone actually shared everything in the whole world...

You could just say I'm a dreamer...
But I'm not alone...
I just hope that one day...
So, are you guys going to join us too...
And the world will eventually become one...

You guys really got me there... You know, I was thinking about the story of Vasa Ladacko, and honestly, I could probably spin that into five different episodes... but I guess I'll keep it a bit shorter for you all. Coming your way tonight...

Megan Reed said:Are you actually suggesting this ends on Judgment Day?

Just take a page out of darktiger20's book. Honestly, I don't even feel like typing all this out since I'm just transcribing from my notebook, and I really want this to read like a gripping Mexican telenovela to draw people in... Are you getting impatient?...

NDSI
epizoda 4.

Those sweet little moments filled with nostalgia, love, and being broke,
sharing a cramped bathroom with everyone else
and—well, just in case anyone happens to be looking for me...
Hang in there Ines—I'm right here,
just getting up to turn over the burner on the stove.
Is it really all that rude at this hour?
Mozart, Requiem, Agnus Dea.
But honestly, that opening part is still my absolute favorite...
I feel like I have a million more of those tender, slightly reckless
memories from back when we were young,
the kind that trick us right in front of our own eyes,
stealing away and leaving us behind...

NDSI
epizoda 3.

Our little connection took quite a while to build up...
and then suddenly, over some warm bourbon,
it all came out through just a few poorly hidden desires.
You have this way about you, sir, like a gentleman with a country soul.
Such a rustic little aristocrat!
Between your curves and the bed we shared,
and my room hanging suspended in mid-air like an orange,
like a glowing citrus orb,
hovering over the deep green and blue waters of New York City;
right there at proleterski brigada 39, near Grkovic.
The street looks soaked from the window, and I can hear the distant hum
of the early evening subway trains...

NDSI
epizoda 2.

A green bus rolls along
pushed by the autumn wind just like a falling leaf,
down a slope in New York City...
I'm wearing my evening suit and
surrounded by all these eyes...
Don't give in, my youth
don't give in, Ines...

DON'T GIVE UP, INES (NDSI) - check this out
Arsen Dedic

Epizoda 1.

Don't give up, Ines.
Don't let the years wear you down,
my dear Ines, despite the different rhythms and habits we've picked up,
because your room is still warm;
with its cozy layout and those rare little treasures...
You always had more taste than I ever did.
Your room—it was beautiful—but now your landlady is in the hospital.
You were always so unique,
from the color of the stationery in your letters to the gifts you chose,
walking with me just the next morning around nine
down to the station...

Let the slackers have their drinks. Goodnight...

Maria Morris5 said:Look, I'm really not looking for a fight here, honey... 😍
it isn't even about whether you got the translation wrong, it's more that you clearly haven't heard of the Ramones... 😁 have you ever actually listened to them?

Hannah Montana. Is that how you spell it? You must be their biggest fan, though I think people call that kind of obsession "Ramonesmania"...

Maria Morris5 said:I AM A WOMAN!!!!! 😠 😠 😠

😲 😲 😲 😲well, the track we're talking about is High School Musical by The Ramones. I honestly can't believe there's anyone else on this board who hasn't heard it before... I mean, they're the Ramones!

My bad. We should probably be focusing on getting things done instead of bickering like this. I was just doing a literal translation, and while I'm certainly no expert, I know middle means middle and high means high. If you really want me to list out a few songs from their millions of tracks just to see how many people actually recognize them—even though they're all absolute classics...

Maria Morris5 said:Hmm, I'd love to contribute something, but I really don't feel like doing all this translating myself... does anyone know a good site where I can just find song translations?...

I totally forgot to mention that while the translation and song details aren't strictly required, they’re definitely appreciated if you have them. My bad. And regarding Maria Morris5, I'm probably not as tech-savvy about this stuff as some of the other users here... High School Musical. It's kind of like saying Rock & Roll Middle School. That's just how the work goes, I guess. You either chip in a little something or just let it slide...

Purple Rain"s Gonna Fall
Purple Rain"s Gonna Fall
Bob Dylan

I saw a newborn baby,
surrounded by werewolves...
I saw a diamond road,
but there wasn't a soul on it...
I saw a room packed with people,
but their hammers were bleeding...
I saw ten thousand speakers,
but their tongues were all tied...
I saw cannons and sharp sabers
held in the hands of children...
And a heavy, heavy, heavy
rain is gonna fall...

If everyone could just drop the original song title, the English translation, and the artist's name... that would be awesome! Thanks so much...

Feel free to use this space to share or transcribe rock poetry from those legendary anthem tracks, whether they’re from our own American classics or great songs from abroad that have been translated into English. If anyone's interested, I'll definitely be jumping in too... Thanks!

Edward Richardson36 said:Come on, I bet you didn't actually feel the need to wipe McAfee, and even if you did, you probably didn't do it the right way...

But what does "doing it the right way" even mean? I used Eraser and went through the Control Panel, but honestly, no matter how you try to scrub it, there are always little leftovers hiding in the Registry Editor, and some programs even find ways to embed themselves deep into the kernel, which is exactly what I was getting at with the McAfee thing...
