Ahh the Translation

[UPDATE] Vinesh points me to the source of song. There is atleast one other song in there. Go take a look.

I had a lot of fun watching Lagaan on TV.

If you are wondering about the Fun part, it was the subtitles. Although they conveyed the message, they were kinda off the target, specially when you knew the language.

Today, I received a forward of something similar. A tamil song, a popular one at that, from a Rajni movie.

If you have ever heard this song, the translation (literal) will make you laugh. [Via] That Awesome Girl

I AM AUTOFELLOW

I am autofellow autofellow
Four knowing route fellow
Justice having rate fellow
Good people mix fellow
Nice singing song fellow
Gandhi borning country fellow
Stick take means hunter fellow
Big people’s relation fellow
Mercy having mind fellow da
I am all poor’s relative fellow da
I am always poor people’s relative fellow da
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only

Town become big, population become big
Bus expecting, half age over
Life become hectic in time, exist in corner of street
Ada eye beat means love coming they telling
You hand clap means auto coming I telling
Front coming look, this three-wheel chariot
Good come and arrive, you trust and climb up
Mercy having mind fellow da
I am always poor people’s relative fellow da
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only

Mummy motherfolk, danger not leave
Heat or cyclone, never I never tell
There there hunger take means, many savoury
Measurement food is one time
For pregnancy I come free mummy
Your child also name one I keep mummy
Letter lacking person ada trusting us and coming
Address lacking street ada auto fellow knowing
Achak means achak only ; Gumuk means gumuk only
Achak means achak only ; Gumuk means gumuk only
