Pientä taukoa tampereenkielisissä käännöksissä. Tässä Pentagon-sarjaa vilkuillessa kävi taas ilmi, kuinka hassua on amerikkalainen sotilaspuheenparsi, varsinkin, jos sen irrottaa kontekstistaan. Niinpä ajattelin kokeilla suomalaisen biisin kääntämistä jenkkisolttuenglanniksi. Ihan loppusointuihin asti ei englannintaitoni venynyt, mutta rytmin uskoisin sopivan alkuperäismelodiaan, joka on.. niin, mikähän se mahtaa olla?
PREFERRED BASE
Pre-nocturnal rendez-vous
circumstances optimal
Avian audio and lunar visuals
Received orders to proceed
to the assigned rural base
Expecting a mission successful
At the time of arrival
floral emissions of gas
Marine gas-liquid-mix similar to brew
We proceeded to the coast
Unloaded some extra gear
And the crew morale was extremely high
Seems appropriate to release under your command
the whole world, preferable and quite a large-scale globe
But I think I will refrain
Just a minute will suffice
As long as the team lineup remains
Human bodies intertwined
Unprotected feet got soiled
as we synchronized with the sea frequency
Oral transmission occurred
of some humorous remarks
which senior officers deem classified
Seems appropriate.. "Squier is the Epiphone of guitars." |
