Lost in Translation

[Glirdan]

Using Shelob's site, old Tom Bombadill's first song that Frodo and Sam hear, which is:

Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o,
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom's going home again water-lilies bringing.
Hey! Come derry dol! Can you hear me singing?

becomes (without the three extra languages):

Hé! The content of the thymus comes! Thymus derry! My person or thing
of the favorite! The light survives he Mitwind and the dumb Starling

and with the three extras:

Old personnel to longone of Willwo

Ha Willwo, thats almost my name.

[The Elf-warrior]

My signature turns into: "But we must have energy, energy to order it all the things during us a will, for good those which see only the intelligent box."

Bilbo's last words to Gandalf at Bag End:

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins a larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And wither then? I cannot say.

without the three extra languages:

The way goes always indefinitely to the surface more under possible of
the door, where it began. To load for him is distant the way he to the
left in the front part and must follow, if the case and with alive
desires of the feet is continuous, until that one it does not connect
a greater method, where many ways he gather of the movement and the
operation. Défraîchissez of and then? I cannot say.

and with them:

The feeding of the track goes of the door, that one that begins
saldamente. To load for her is the feeding of the track is not going
to have directly to continue the switches and rifiniti, around to the
temporary one is enthusiastic he begun herzlichst of exijiu for many
ways of the movement and the feet of the conference of the instruction
to become him the connected thing new, to the food of the continuous
mines of the case that. Red color of E? That mine broad is not
interested with saying.

Sladmente, rifiniti, herrzlechst oh my!

Red color of E??? And what the heck is exijiu!?!?!?

It had bathtubs and the boilers arrested it in all the part, took a bathtub to a protection that it protected and they analyzed it underneath two bathtubs, when to dance!

'The thoughts that are dangerous' the aforesaid Joe, within me whisper.

This one had me in stitches. It's one of those rare moments of brilliance that make me love these so much. A little scene played out in my head with SpM covered in bathtubs, and a small contingent of boilers (on legs) marching up and arresting him. And the end is so oddly philosophical looking.

TGWBS -> the type, that one is short
The Saucepan Man -> the man of the bathtub ()
The Barrow-Wight -> The Wheelbarrow Wight Wight
Eomer of the Rohirrim -> Eomer I gave Rohirrim
Feanor of the Peredhil -> Feanor I gave Peredhil
dancing spawn of ungoliant -> To the dance of usury ungoliant

[The Saucepan Man]

Here's a little game. You have to guess the famous Downers from the "translated" names below. Some are easy, some are difficult and some are downright obscure.

Some use the Japanes/Chinese/Korean function. Some do not. I chose whichever I liked best. One Downers is listed twice because both translations were so darned good.

Amon Rudh does not have the inhabitant of the permission

Potassio (full marks to anyone who gets this one)

Allegro of Otorinolaringoiatra (or this one ...)

Abundant available

Boy 7. Age

Only material Estel

Color of the Blaus I gave Evisse

Artilleryman I gave Amanaduial

Chain of Numenor

Housewife of the thunderclap of Sophia

Drink of the alcoholic one

Slandering (this is a good one)

Density of Morsul

Thymus of Guldur of the maintenance

[Kath]

Hmm let's have a quick go - these are all guesses so confirmation of any correct ones would be greatly appreciated!

Amon Rudh does not have the inhabitant of the permission - Squatter of Amon Rudh (sp?)

Allegro of Otorinolaringoiatra (or this one ...) - The Perky Ent

Boy 7. Age - Child of the 7th Age

Only material Estel - The Only Real Estel

Color of the Blaus I gave Evisse - Evisse the Blue

Artilleryman I gave Amanaduial - Amanaduial the Archer

Chain of Numenor - Son of Numenor

Housewife of the thunderclap of Sophia - Sophia the Thundermistress

Density of Morsul - Morsul the Dark

Thymus of Guldur of the maintenance - Keeper of Dol Guldur

I still can't work these out:
Drink of the alcoholic one

Slandering (this is a good one)

Abundant available

Potassio (full marks to anyone who gets this one)

[Shelob]

Amon Rudh does not have the inhabitant of the permission -- The Squatter of Amon Rudh (with Japanes/Chinese/Korean)

Boy 7. Age -- Child of the 7th Age (without Japanes/Chinese/Korean)

Density of Morsul -- Morsul the Dark (without Japanes/Chinese/Korean)

Chain of Numenor -- Son of Numenor (without Japanes/Chinese/Korean)



I've guessed at more but I want to leave others some to figure out (and can't be bothered to run them through the translation)..."Potassio" though, haven't a clue...but in retaliation for that I leave you with this "translated name"...

Rifle automatic of the art of Ritratto convinces otorinolaringoiatra completely
