Love plea

Post by Lion of Lions »

I want to kiss you
in many places
and many languages
I want to kiss you
with sturdy Eastern European tongues
and in the Romance dialects as well
I want to cover you
with gibberish embraces
and spend the nichten lichten with you

Hello Lion

This reads fine to me, a nice light and witty commentary on love. I am not totally sure of the meaning of "the nichten lichten" -- the night light??? but it sounds good. Fine work, Lion.

Hello Mr. (or is it Mrs?) Lions.
Do you have a crush on your nieces? And are they invisible? (oh the joy of my translating widgit!)

Not only do we have a long tradition of school massacres in this country (along with being struck by lightning), but we also have a long tradition of incest. My Cousin Grampa used to sing this song:

I chaw my t'backy I spit my juice
sail away ladies, sail away
I love my own daughter but it ain't no use
sail away ladies, sail away

Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
Don't you rock 'em daddy-o
Don't you rock 'em daddy-o

from an Episode Guide to The Day Today,

Big Report: "Where now for man raised by puffins?" As politics reels with news of racist dances at the constituency of the junior health secretary, The Day Today's chief reporter, Peter O'hanraha-O'hanrahan, comes live from the meeting in which German finance minister Rheinhardt walks out, having apparently said to his colleagues, "Ich nichten lichten!" or, "I don't like it." Later in the show, The Day Today hands over to Rok TV, showing footage of US rapper Fur Q, a previously-unseen advert for Panty Smiles sanitary towels featuring Nirvana and a special appearance by the corpse of Ian Curtis before the show signs off with the newspapers, "Catholic Herald: Eating Turkey at Christmas Is Like Nailing An Egg To The Cross".

Meganews: As London Transport admit that packs of wild horses are roaming the underground, the home secretary plans on entering the tunnels to shoot the horses 'with a special gun...", the nation is plunged into crisis as prime minister, John Major, punches the Queen during their monthly meeting. As The Day Today show a film held by the BBC and only to be shown in times of crisis - "This is Britain, and everything's all right...It's okay; it's fine" - the Queen leaves Buckingham Palace for Downing St. where she will be permitted to return a blow to the PM.

I suppose translation of the word salad above is out of the question? Is this what passes for humour in England? Ha!

Ich nichten lichten = I nieces clear, or perhaps, I clear nieces.
I don't like it = Ich mag es nicht.

My grandmother - a contemporary of Queen Victoria and all her etc - always urged us to "keep things in the family."
Little did I know!
