pacejunkie punk Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Got this idea from the thread about the American Idiot musical being translated into German for an upcoming production. Green Day is awesome in any language so let's start a game. Translate a line of a song into some language and we'll see if we can guess the song it's from. Ground rules: if you're not familiar enough to translate on your own, you can use Google translate to construct your clue, but try not to use it to solve it if you can. Although translating back something in a really exotic language might be just as tricky to guess and really funny so we won't be sticklers here. So I'll start off with one in Spanish (excuse the poor translation; you can indicate one using Google Translate with a GT after it) A veces deseo que alguien me encuentre (GT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Od teď navždy, od teď budeš navždy bloudit. when you say it aloud "koleji" sounds like "close by" and "vratit" like "turning/going back" (I guess czech is somewhat similar to polish?), so i'm guessing Outlaws Although it could be something entirely different, because I have NO idea what to make of the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Age Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 1 hour ago, MMwhatsername said: Could be Bouncing Off The Wall - "I got Satan riding next to me"? I don't know Spanish, but I second that. Sounds plausible. So, I've got an easy one and a not so easy one: "Sie fanden ihn in einem Cadillac, erschlagen mit einem Baseballschläger" "Du weißt dass ich gehorchen werde, also zwing mich nicht zu bezahlen" Here's a hint: Spoiler Both songs are from "Warning".
