Hello again,
Got another oddity that I'm having trouble puzzling out. It might just be the bands that I'm listening to, but when I hear English versions of German songs they tend to be more vulgar and harsh in English than they actually are in a direct German translation. Is there a reason for this? Or does this ultimately translate more of just the concept of the song rather than the words?
Some Examples,
Rammstein - Engel/Angel, Du Hast/You Hate Me
Lafee - Virus/Scabies, Heul Doch/Shut Up
If needed/requested I can post lyrics. I figured I'd error on the side of caution as, especially Lafee's English lyrics are quite harsh and vulgar.
[edit] Google works for finding lyrics (oder "songtext") if you're very interested[/edit]
While I'm mentioning it, I cant seem to find a translation for the word Heul, what does it mean?
