Translating music

[Samsara]

When it comes to music from a foreign country what do you prefer, have it translated to eenguhlish or it's original form?

All the things she said is a good song but the original version, Ya Shosla S Uma, is like an orgasm in my ears.

I believe some part of the original messege is lost during translation :-/

[glow=red]I can translate that song for you if you let me listen to it. From what i remember from video clips 4 years ago it was something like

"I went crazy, i need her..." and more stuff like that, i also remember that fragment "Mother, Father, forgive me, i went crazy, i need her..." Thats all i remember for now

Anyways the only music i listen to that i don't understand the lyrics of is Ramstein, but i rather keep it as it is, in some cases ignorance is a blessing.[/glow]

I didnt ask for a translation (hell you can look at the lyrics of the translated version), i asked if you liked music that isn't translated.

[glow=red]And i told you, that no i rather keep music i don't understand untranslated.[/glow]

I don't like translated songs. they sound good in the language they were writen in and sang in.

good examples of none-translated foreign (not english) music is Blind Gaurdian and Pain of Salvation.

Rammstien makes me want to beat kids with hammers. But in a good way. It gets me excited to the point where I lose control of my bowls.

Ya shosla S Uma has more feeling untranslated. And yea our russian friend kuzmich is right, thats what the translation of it is. Ya shosla s uma does not have the same lyrics as all the things she said, for instance the chorus is I've lost my mind, i need her, i need her, ive lost my mind. You can also see the feeling in the video

Edit: Also off topic a bit but ya shosla s uma has a different beat and sounds more pop due to at the time of recording it, they didn't have Trevor Horn as their producer, so they didn't have the bass guitar.
