This song sounds dramatic
but I'm bad at writing words.
If you don't speak English,
this probably sounds pretty good.
You'd probably think I'm singing
bout some pretty serious stuff.
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout
the lack of stuff
i'm singing 'bout. This part's intense.
And emotional.
As long as
you don't understand it.
Your foreign grandma
would love this song.
Please send it to her,
and she'll probably tell her
foreign friends about the song her
grandson or daughter sent her today.
This song might hit the charts in her country
if parts sounded like
Cooooldplayyyyyyy
...
If the chorus sounds like
Coldplllayyyy
Then I put some
'La-La-La's in there.
La la la la la,
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)
Hopefully your foreign grandma
listens to this song everyday.
And if she asks you to
translate the lyrics, here's what you say:
"A perfect translation
does not exist.
Well, at least,
not in your language.
But if you must know,
well, picture this:
Fifty billion rainbows,
and the sun is setting, and the
moon is setting, also,
and you're there in a gazebo.
And then God descends from heaven
and He gives you a million dollars.
Take that feelinggggg,
and put it into a song.
I could translaaaaaate word by word,
but that'd take too long.
And I've got stuff to do grandma.
I don't have time for this.
You've gotta trust me grandma,
this freakin' song is brillian......t."
