zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, like all art it's open for interpretation. Who does the stabbing? Who will win? Does the author prefer one of the characters? Wow it has more depth than I initially thought. That is art! Rezzers win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Okay, here's my try (poems in foreign languages are hard): Just do a German poem and we can Google translate it. That's worth a giggle surely! For example, MasterDisaster war ein Outcast Wer ist Freunde , er würde sicherlich überdauern Während der Jagd eine Nacht Er hatte große Schreck Stellt sich heraus, er war wurde deklassiert ! Here's zFiend's Version MasterDisaster oliOutcast Kuka ystäviä hän oli varmasti kauemmin Vaikka metsästys yksi yö Hänellä oli isosäikähtää Osoittautuu hän oli ollut outclassed ! and TRANSLATE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 oh, Malifaux the great city under the skies Who knows what great wonders lie within Stones filled with souls, Technology hidden in holes The Guild collects it all with a grin Yet for all it's wonders Darkness lies yonder Beasts that prey on flesh and blood Are of the least scary lot For not even your mind remains safe When you are caught in a deadly plot and the one you embrace will be nothing more than a rotting face oh Malifaux, Where the nightmares are afraid and hope does slowly fade Where greed has it's way and Tyrants have their stay Still the sun will rise above the city's skies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 MasterDisaster war ein Outcast Wer ist Freunde , er würde sicherlich überdauern Während der Jagd eine Nacht Er hatte große Schreck Stellt sich heraus, er war wurde deklassiert ! I will tell you what you produced there: MasterDisaster was an Outcast Who is friends, he would surely last While the chase a night He had great scare Turns out, he was has been declassed.

MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Wow... such fail from Google! It was meant to read MasterDisaster was an Outcast Who's friends he'd surely outlast Whilst hunting one night He suffered a fright Turns out he'd been outclassed.

Well, while I like your version better, the Google version pretty much sounded like modern German poetry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I reverse translated the Finnish one and it couldn't translate a load of it's own translation let alone revert it back to the original. Google FTW yo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Google translate is useful to translate words. When you are going for larget loads of text you are pretty screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google FTW yo! What I couldn't really get across by translating back from German, were the staggering amount of conjugation and declination errors. I assume it was worse in Finnish (everything is worse in Finnish). No wonder it couldn't translate back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Scandinavian languages hurt my brain. German I get, French and Spanish are also a little easier but Finnish, Swedish etc.... NOPE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 *Reaches for the tissues* Beautiful man... beautiful! Now do one in Gaelic! I would do one in Welsh but with it being such an ancient language, I would struggle due to too many modern words needing to go in! I'll stick to *spits* English........

MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Lilith, Lilith oh so fine Will you ever truly be mine? You, your Nephilim and your brood Will you ever see a good mood? Could I ever have Black Blood Or will I be face down in the mud? Translated (by Google) into Latin is Lamia , o Virgo et bysso Tune vero esse meam? Et tu, et Nephilim , et progenies tua Vis videre bonum mood ? Num sanguinem habere Niger An ego pronus in luto ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Ressers, ressers, why do you smell so bad? standing downwind, it makes me sad. But ho, here comes Lady J! she will take the smell away. Ressers, ressers, why do you shamble? moan and groan, lurch and ramble? Lack of will, and personal hygiene, and quite possibly....a spleen Ressers, ressers, your faults I could list. Even more than an arcanist. At least Neverborn have style. And gremlins are cooler by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
