En wannabe Darth Vader - help?

Hi.
I stumbled over the song from Nephew and when I looked up the lyrics... well, I don't understand a word.
Maybe somebody could help me with a translation? Please?

 

Hi MsLanna

The lyrics in danish:

SÃ¥ klapper I i takt
jeg si?r til mig selv
godt nok og lykke og held
tonight, all right, I might, just fight
så klapper jeg en knægt
så klapper det perfekt
and here we go

SÃ¥ ta?r I til Paris
jeg si?r til mig selv
oh god, mon det er farvel?
oh god, I hope not, don?t start, I?m hot
så ta?r jeg ind på Shell
for så gi?r det jo sig selv
and round we go

Jeg ser et movie klip
og tror at du vil slip?
andre ind på dig - ah ah
jeg hvisker - ah ah

SÃ¥ ryger I tobak
jeg si?r til mig selv
**** det, jeg har det godt nok og vel
igen, så læng? I sing this song
så ryger jeg i bund
for du er både sød og ond
I love to long

Jeg ser et movie klip
og tror at du vil slip?
andre ind på dig - ah ah
jeg hvisker - ah ah


... becomes this in english - in my book anyway:

Then you clap in tact
I say to myself
good enough and fortune and luck
tonight, all right, I might, just fight
then I clap a lad
then it claps perfect
and here we go

Then you go to Paris
I say to myself
oh god, is this goodbye?
oh god, I hope not, don?t start, I?m hot
the I go in to Shell
cause then it makes sense
and round we go

I see a movie clip
and think you will let
others close to you ? ah ah
I whisper ? ah ah

Then you smoke tobacco
I say to myself
**** it, I feel good enough and well
again, as long as I sing this song
Then I go down
Cause you are both sweet and evil
I love to long

I see a movie clip
and think you will let
others close to you ? ah ah
I whisper ? ah ah

 

Well, it was "Movie Klip" you translated there Mundi

 

Your point being?

Allthough "klip" is used in some english terms "clip" is more common.


Edit: If you have any objections, then why don't you make a "correct" translation.

 

MsLanna asked for help with lyrics for the track "En Wannabe Darth Vader" and you translated the track "Movie Klip" from the same artist

Edit: These lyrics.

EN WANNABE DARTH VADER!!
#### up, så grim, så grøn
som Skipper Skræk med røven bar
så slem, så skøn
som Chip og Chap på røvguitar


I call the shots
med tibetanertøj fra Mars
I shoot the calls
en wannabe Darth Vader


En wannabe Darth Vader


Klap i, sig til, studer
professorat i gøglershow
bliv til, hover
som diplomat som Anders Fogh


Kan nok, kan li?
en teknokrat i technotøj
en kanin, en kanon
og en wannabe Darth Vader


En wannabe Darth Vader


#### af, get in and shout
hvor fra kom Twix? - fra Raider
breathe in, breathe out
hvor fra kom jeg? - Darth Vader

 

Monster_Mundi:Thanks, even though it was the wrong song.

Darth-Floyd: Yup, those are the right lyrics. Did I mention, I can't read Danish? All those crossed vowels drive me crazy.

 

UPS, my bad. Sorry

 

Danish is supposed to be my first language, and even I don't get the lyrics.

 

Paratyfus That's bad. I had no idea they were so weird.
Maybe I shiould just send them a mail...

 

Sorry MsLanna
I guess I need a lesson in reading. I thought for sure Floyd had translated the text he wrote.

Anyway here it is:

A WANNABE DARTH VADER!!
Shut up, so ugly, so green
As Popeye the Sailor with naked ass
So bad so lovely
As Chip and Dale on assguitar

I call the shots
With tiberian clothes
I shoot the calls
A wannabe Darth Vader

A wannabe Darth Vader

Shut up, say now, study
Professorship in phantasmagoria
Become, gloat
As diplomat as Anders Fogh (our prime minister)

Can probably, can like
A technocrat in technoclothes
a rabbit, a cannon
And a wannabe Darth Vader

A wannabe Darth Vader

**** off, get in and shout
From where came Twix? ? From Raider
breathe in, breathe out
from where came I? ? Darth Vader

 

Thanks Monster_Mundi

Though I'm afraid I'm not getting their message now, either.
I'm probably lacking the Danish connotations of the words and can't understand the subtext.
Assuming there is one.

Maybe they'll answer me and that will help.
(Yeah, I really asked them )

 

I would say, that there isn't any greater meaning to the text.
You just read each verse as one sentence, and make the best you can of it.
I know some lines, that shouldn't, begins with a capital letter, but that is only do to the wordprogram i used while translating.


But I can see I accidental left "from Mars" out in this verse:

I call the shots
with tiberian clothes from Mars
I shoot the calls
a wannabe Darth Vader


Basicly it is all just rubbish. They probably just came up with different sentences, that they thought was funny. There isn't any red line, apart from them mentioning Darth Vader on occasion and it doesn't rhyme, so I am afraid there isn't any message to get.

 

You did

Don't forget to post what they say about it, if they answer

 

yeah, I really did it!
How many bands called 'Nephew' are out there? Of course I got the wrong one.
*bangs her head against something veeery solid*
Well, those said, they're from England, and the wrong band.
I guess I'll give up now.

Thanks Lord_Coras

Okay, I reid again.
Asked them to help me make sense out of the lyrics...
Let's see what (if) they answer.

 

Okay, they did answer. To the enlightenment of all of us, here comes their answer:

Hi Melanie

We know there's another band called Nephew (from New Zealand, maybe? But our
band is older!!), so maybe they are the ones you have contacted??

If you translate the lyrics directly into english, it problably makes no
sense at all. And many danes have trouble seeing a meaning in the lyrics as
well There is no real story. It's more made up of short statements,
slogans or paroles.
But the song is about the ultimate bad guy - Darth Vader - and all the
people (ordinary people, politicians, eg.) wanting to be seen as tough or
bad or controlling others. But all they can ever be is wannabe Darth Vaders
'cause noone can be the real deal.

Regards

Nephew



Mystery solved.
thanks for the help!

 

That's cool, Melanie, I got a new understanding of the lyrics now, thank you for sharing it with us
