    Default Translated Poetry

    This thread inspired me to write some of my own poorly translated poetry. I wrote a few silly poems and then entered them in Google Translate and translated them into a few languages until back to English.

    I encourage you to post a few of your own creations.

    Original:
    I once woke up in the morning
    with quite a hearty thirst
    I drank and drank all day long
    But drinking piss just made it worse

    Translated:
    Once we awoke this morning
    with a great desire to have
    I drank and drank all day
    But, at the end of drinking so much worse


    Original:
    Today I went to the market
    To see what I could buy
    There were fruits and breads and meats and fish
    But a taco caught my eye

    Translated:
    Joined to the market today,
    You have to buy
    Fruit, bread, meat, fish
    But, my eyes get tacos


    Original:
    This year we went to war
    For a common cause
    No tea on Tuesday
    No fish on Friday
    Should be written laws

    Translated:
    We are in a war.
    The reason
    No tea on Tuesday
    No fish on Fridays
    In case, if the law is written

    The second one is pretty funny, "But, my eyes get tacos" is a great sentiment.
    The last could almost pass for something deliberately abstruse.

    It had to be done:

    I Feel Sad Sonnet

    Interestingly, the people of their rights to claim our faith,
    Entry into force and the prosecution
    The reason people do not know
    People and seek the truth before the execution, they.
    Sing "Silent" Song "People of God"
    "People saw the light" and "serve God Almighty"
    People celebrate the peace and war is bad,
    They are please try the same game.
    Acknowledge the fact that, under the banner of understanding
    For those who do not punish, looking for an answer
    They are to some extent, "I saw the way" that a person is a
    Because there is true "green",'ve ever seen.
    But their heart is narrow, their vision does not matter.
    However, the sad reality is that it would never change.



    I like it.
