What's new

Last good song you listened to?

Ceza - Holocaust.

Where's Gaybars when we need translating? Something about 1/4 cups, millimeters, ledgers, and accounting causing the holocaust...


Can't get enough Macklemore & Ryan Lewis lately either.

I can translate it, if you wait until tomorrow or so.
 
Nickleback, Scat??

Im typically not a fan of negrepping, but jesus are you ever approaching that line awfully close right now.

Lets get this thread back on track

Yeah, but that song is actually good. My ears bleed when Nickelback comes on and I hate that I like that song. It makes me want to drink and break **** and dance with my kids.


P.S. Screw Canadian bands.


Tech n9ne, I really like this guy. On this song his daughter actually has a part as well :)

Just when I thought your taste in music was unredeemable...

Best part about Tech N9ne is he works with everyone, even long lost Def Tones.

@franklin... This will probably the most absurd translation of a song ever, but there are reasons for it, it's not written with the most sensible words in Turkish either, it has lots of references, verbal bullyings to the other rappers, my Engineering English, my lack of rap music knowledge etc.

I tried to translate the essence of the song first, but it was way harder than literal translating, so I went for the latter. But at least I tried not to make a "mot a mot" translation.

Anyway here is the song Holocaust, and its literal, absurd translation by me, verse by verse, If you don't find it sensible, don't worry, I still didn't get it either :)

Verse A...
Koyduğum nokta belki son,
Ben bunu bilemem aynı bomb,
Gibi gelir sana belki de aynı ton,
Dibi delik gelebilir ama aynı fon...

The point(full point, stop) I put is maybe the last take, I can't know that,
(It) may sound to you the same bomb,
Or maybe the same tone.
(It) may seem perforated from the bottom but it's the same background(base)...


Verse B...
Kendini bilemez, montofon,
Ve monoton yaşar hep alt aynı don,
Anlatırım ben derdimi yalnız,
Eyy biminii microphone!

Incapable to know self, a montofon(a kind of cow from holland, probably a fat insult),
Lives monotonous, always(wears)the same briefs...
I tell my troubles(woes) alone,
Eyy biminii microphone! (I have no idea what the hell "biminii" does mean, maybe trying to say "just to a microphone")


Verse C...
Şimdi bana bir bakınız haydi,
Muamelesi kesebilir haas**,
Ve de muhammed ali gibi gelir asi,
Bana bak beni gör ve de öl vasi...

Now look at me, come on,
(He) may treat you like "F*** Off"
And he comes(moves, behave) rebellious like Mohammed Ali,
Look at me, see me and die, you the tutelar...



Verse D...
Sesim hep duyulur tepeden bariton,
Mekanım olabilir her an ozon,
Yanıma gelenin canına girecektir,
Eyy bimini microphone!

My voice (which is obviously tenor) always sounds high baritone,
My location could be ozone
(ozonosphere) at anytime,
It will scr*w anyone who comes near me,
Eyy biminii microphone!



Verse E...
O oo... bunu ben, bunu sen, şunu ben, onu sen,
Gülü ben, günü sen,
Fenomen olacak dolacak her yer,
Menemen kıvamı balçık, gelemem!

O oo... I (do*) this, you (do) this, I (do) that, you (do) it,
I (do) the rose, you (do) the day, [do* the verb isn't clear, it's hidden]
Will be phenomenon, everywhere will swim in slime with the consistency of the menemen(an egg meal),
I can't come (there)!


Verse F...
Elemem dostumu göremezsem,
Düşmanın postunu yere seremezsem,
Rüzgar gibi esemezsem,
Veremezsem kalbimi geri gelemezsem...

I won't eliminate(cross, hurt) my fellow if I can't see him(won't play behind his back),
If I can't lay down the pelt of the enemy
(if I can't knock down the enemy),
If I can't blow like the wind,
If I can't give my heart and come back...



Verse G...
Sen beni bilemedin, yüreğimi göremedin,
Kendini bilemedin, yamacıma gelemedin,
Amacına varamadın, her yeri karaladın,
Barışı da yaraladın, acımadan aldın...

You couldn't know me, couldn't see my heart,

(You) couldn't know yourself, couldn't come to (near)me,
(You) couldn't win through, did smut everywhere(blemished everything),
(You) even hurt the peace, took (it) without mercy...


Verse H...
Rüyalara daldın bal arısı, gök karası,
Istanbul kalem harp okulundan çıktı en baba rap,
İşte başına darısı,
Ma mamamama ma mamamama...

You plunged into dreams, (you)honey bee, sky black(black as the nigth)...
There "the most father rap"
(the best rap, lol), it came out from the Istanbul pen-war school,
(I) hope the same(The best rap) to you...
Ma mamamama ma mamamama...


Verse I...
Mikrofonunu getirsene, bana baksana, laklak etme sakın ha sen beni dinle,
Kelimelerimi kilometrelerce milimetrik hesaplarla yazdım ha!
İhtiyacınız var mı yardıma hatalı rhymelar,
Fatal rhymelar çatal olur ha!

You, bring your microphone, heigh, do not clack, do listen to me,
I wrote my words for kilometers by millimetric calculations,
Do you need any help, with faulty rhymes?
Fatal rhymes,
(they) could fork you, huh! (or "it bifurcates", I don't know)


Verse J...
Yatacaktır yere, bala banacaktır, kanacaktır, akacaktır,
Rüzgar gibi esecektir, geri gelecektir, CEZA etnik bir sentezdir.
Bela teknik bir arızadır, üç fazdır, kanadı kırıktır.
Taktik, kuşkunun oluşumudur, şu yaptığım rapteki uçurumdur...

(It) will lay on the ground, will dip in the honey, will be sated, will flow,
(It) will blow like the wind, will come back, CEZA is an ethnic synthesis,
Pest is a technical fault, it is three phases, has broken wings,
Tactic is the nascency of the disbelief
(doubt, suspicion), this, I do is the abysm of the Rap...


Verse K...
Bak, beni gör, hadi kamil ol tepeden tırnağa sen, hami ol,
Rap'e göz kulak oldum sen de ol ve de holocoust u gören insan ol!
Arı gibi uç, kartal gibi kon ve de sen köle ol ya da ben patron!
Rhymelarım can yakabilir, aa pardon, yoo eyy bimini microphone!

Look(at me), see me, be the perfect from top to bottom, be the protector,
I've kept an eye on the Rap, so you do too, and become the person who sees the holocaust!
Fly like the bees, perch like the eagle, and be you the slave or I be the master,
My rhymes can hurt, ups pardon, yoo eyy bimini microphone!



Verse C... & Verse D... Again...


Verse L...
Bana bak, yo kalbini aç, son atak, yo muamele bak katarakt,
Yo görünen köy bu dayak, sözlerle gelen...
Kendini nostrodamus sanana namus gerekir,
CEZA gibi bir kâbus gerekir, fanus gibi g*t deliğinize bir çikita muz sokulur...

Look at me, yo open your heart, this is (my last attack) the last attack, yo, (I) treat (you) (like you've) cataract,
Obviously, there coming the bashing
(for you) which comes with the words...
The guys who think they're Nostradamus need honor,
Need a nightmare like CEZA,
(someone) inserts a çikita* banana into your a**h***...
(*çikita is a banana brand, this refers to an extremely idiot singer who sings a song named "çikita muz")


Verse M...
Bana bi bakınız, akınız, undergroundu kafanıza takınız, yakınız,
Aleve veriniz her yeri, holocoust'u görünüz, gösteriniz!
İşte bu hiphop gösterimiz yo...

Look at me, do flow, mind the underground, burn it,
Do flame everwhere, see the holocaust, show the holocaust!
Here is our Hip-Hop show, yo...



The rest of it...
Allah rap'in cezasını verdi...
God punished the hip-hop with CEZA* (*Ceza also means punishment)
mama mamama mamama ... mama microphone show
mama mamama mamama ... mamama mamama mamama mamama mama microphone show
[Şimdi bana bir bakınız haydi]X6
[Now look at me, come on]X6

Şimdi bana bir bakınız, akınız, undergroundu kafanıza takınız, haydi,
Bana bir bakınız, akınız, undergroundu kafanıza takınız, siz, haydi!
Now look at me, do flow, mind the underground, come on,
Look at me, do flow, you mind the underground, come on!

Mama mamama mamama ... mama microphone show
Mama mamama mamama ... mama mimimi mimimi mamama mamama mimimi mimimi
microphone show mikrofon show...

LOL It's funny how many people despise Nickelback. While I've never felt they were great I've never understood the sheer hatred towards them. They have a handful of songs that are decent and I can think of a lot worse bands out there that are very popular. Anyway, like *Franklin said, that particular song just seems to grab you from the get go and gets your blood pumping. Heard it on the radio yesterday and thought, "Hey, this isn't bad."

I bought Nickelback's first album as soon as it became available three months after hearing Breathe for the first time on KBER's Bear Fights. They lost to some random Metallica song, just like everything else.

After that album they went Walmart with every single song and deserve all the hate for doing so. But that song kicks ***, just like Porn Star Dancing by My Darkest Days, which is produced by Kroeger as anyone would guess by its sound. Who listens to that song and doesn't immediately think it has Kroeger's manufactured music signature on it? But Kroeger struck gold again and that song kicks *** too, but the reason it's successful is the same reason we hate Nickelback so much.
 
Ahh man! You just took me back to my lab days where scouring iTunes for underground stuff to load on the Pod was my only sanity. Totally forgot about Brother Ali, and never would have guessed he was a white dude down to the eyebrows.
