Neiobi Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'll (try) to translate it! Please, anyone let me know if something is wrong:aah: Love the pic btw... "A lebanese in Madrid" "This weekend I've been listening to the new record of one of the artists that has surprised me the most in the past few years. I promiss you that he's been the "powerplay" of my car for a long time. He personally is presenting to the press his second work because he says his success of the first one was such a surprise that he didn't have the time to do it. (?) I've been chatting with him about the pressure of recording an album when the first has sold 5 million copies. Of how he escaped for months to digest this, of how he composed his new songs and his neighbourhood's(??) when he was little. It's clear that as in castillian as in english, when you get to see your neighbourhood after all the years, it's tremendly small! he, he. The first that Mika launches in the 25th of May is an EP called "Songs For Sorrow". It's acoustic, basically with voice and piano like in the theme "Lady Jane" or in the tremendous song called "Lonely Alcoholic". It will be launched inside of a (?) book. But in September, the second one will come. The first single isn't decided yet, it could be "We are Golden", or maybe "Blame it on the girls" (I'm remembering the titles from my memory.). They're great. What is clear is that the second single will be Rain. A dance theme with the style of "Relax, Take It Easy". When we ended the chat, I told him: "You're closer than I supposed you would" (I don't know how to translate the swearing:naughty:) What he is in height is what he is of nice(?) at least doing the promo, he, he. And smiling both of us posed for this photo." Please correct it.. It's not very accurate:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinghorse83 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 ooh, wow, this sounds really interesting. I'm actually liking 'we are golden' more and more as i hear more bits of the lyrics from press interveiws and piecing that together with the snippet we've heard.

identicaltwin3 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Meaning? How unprofessional of you, Federico, reacting to a post without looking up the thread pages to see what the MFCer is referring to ! You disappoint me ... I shouldn't be doing this, but then people tend to be too soft with Santa, aren't they ? So I will tell you : the brown nose I was mentioning is yours truly, criticising poor James Blunt just to make Sire happy. Have to go now, my nose needs cleaning ...

My suggestion -'more approchable'- was only an uneducated guess, not even based on the similarities of both French and Spanish in this case. Could you please, please, please , translate what Neiobi called 'the swear', even if it is very flattering and positive, like 'putain' in French, which means 'whore' but may be used in an admiring way (the equivalent of the English 'best f... very dark, tall, hairy and curly musician that's ever roamed this, our planet ' ).

But she did a great job, it would have been impossible to translate that (with its mad literal meaning) unless she actually knew the expression. And do you really have a Tshirt? HAHAHAHA.
