Translation

[Anticubital]

Perhaps sometime someone will be kind enough to translate Kaptain Clutch and Halleluja? That would be great!:)

Hallelujah is almost an exact translation of the one Leonard Cohen wrote back in the days.

And here's the other one. Forgive my sloppy english - the original writer plays around with the language a bit, which is a bit ambiguous to translate. This is somewhat how it goes. I've left the danish verses with the translation under it in italic.

Kaptajn Clutch & hans crew (Tidens tern) by C.V. Jørgensen

Jeg kigger ned på New York fra ombord en DC-10
der via hvem ved hvor skal dumpe ned på Kennedy
i løbet af cirka no time nu
ifølge kaptajn Clutch og hans crew

I'm looking down at New York from a DC-10
which via who knows where have to tumble down on Kennedy
In about 'No time' now
According to Capain Clutch and his crew

Jeg checker ud & ind i en Yellow Cap sedan
der helt automatisk styrer mod Manhattan Island
& er man lidt forfløjen
ser det hele ud som bare en lodret løgn

I'm checking out and in in a yellow cab sedan
which automatically heads for Manhatten Island
and if you are a bit beflown (jet-lag i guess)
it all looks as an outrageous (vertical) lie

Jeg bliver en lille smule trist
til mode ved tanken om & synet af endnu en turist
uden navn - en jetturstid fra København

I get a bit sad
by the thought of and sight of another tourist
without a name - a jet travels time from Copenhagen

Jeg sender dig lidt luftpost så snart jeg får tid
men dødtræt efter trippet & og en bitter Stesolid
er alt hvad jeg klarer & gider
bare at ligge ned & falde i søvn omsider

I'll send you some airmail whenever I get time
but dead tired from 'the trip' and a bitter Stesolid (a sedative drug)
what I handle and bother
is just to lie down and fall asleep finally

It was so clear even in dansker sprog... <_<






muahahahahahahha lol Thanx for the translation! ^_-

[Anticubital]

Thank you so much!:)

[rosendahl]

don't mention it... I needed some time away from my study anyways ;)

[Farguss]

Anyone has some tab or chords of this song? :confused:

[Carichu]

Thanks for the translation :)
I had never imagined what tell or better say what means the song, I thought that the song was a little religious, do you know , the title, fatal mistake i know :(

[Farguss]

Anyone has some tab or chords of this song? :confused:

so no-one?

well, i've found this and i'm sure it's right (i hope :P) but is really a small part.

so, i guess the sequence is:
9th fret / 3rd string
8th fret / 2nd string
7th fret / 2nd string
8th fret / 2nd string

ending the riff with
9th fret / 3rd string
9th fret / 4th string


I guess that all the chords with the capo on the 7th fret, starting with an Am.


Let me know if you think it's good and if you find something else. ^_-

[Farguss]

You can alternate the chords i've said steppin' off of two fret and then again forward of two.

But i can't catch other parts of the songs.. :(

capo 5th fret
