Mmmm... interesting, let's see (the other day I gave the French Garbage
fanzine 'I'm Really Into Garbage' to a friend. We had translated three
Garbage songs into French, we tried to sing them, but it's quite funny, the
lyrics are kind of stupid in French, not stupid but simple and I dunno...
heh)
I think i'm paranoid --> Je crois que je suis parano(iaque)
Queer --> Bizarre
Soldier Through This --> S'en Sortir
Temptation Waits --> La tentation Attend
Push It --> Pousse le or Pousse la (doesnt make any sense when translated
literaly)
Only happy when it rains --> Heureuse seulement quand il pleut
As heaven is wide --> Aussi grand qu'est le paradis (?)
not my idea --> Pas mon idée
A stroke of luck --> un coup de chance
Vow --> voeux
Stupid girl --> fille stupide
Androgyny --> Androgynie
My Lover's box --> La boîte de mon amoureux

Can't cry these tears --> Je ne peux pleurer ces larmes
Til the day I die --> Jusqu'au jour de ma mort
Cup of coffee --> tasse de café
Silence is golden --> Le silence est d'or
When I grow up --> Quand je serais grande
The trick is to keep breathing --> Le truc c'est de continuer à respirer
Dumb --> Débile
Untouchable --> Intouchable
Drive you home --> te conduire à la maison
nobody loves you --> Personne ne t'aime
So like a rose --> Pareil à une rose
Hammering in my head --> Martelement dans ma tête (?)
number 1 crush --> coup de foudre
enough is never enough --> assez n'est jamais assez
the world is not enough --> le monde ne suffit pas
sex never goes out of fashion --> le sexe n'est jamais démodé
happiness --> bonheur
....
mmm... i forgot some song titles... anyway, not as fun as it was when i
started so i'll stop now. heh.
BAZ SAID:
I want to see some Garbage song titles translated
into other languages. I happened to notice on a website that sukebe is
Japanese
for sex fiend and started wondering how other titles translate. If you speak
anything other than English then please post some here for my amusement
