Have you ever tried to translate some instructions that are only written in Swahili, only to be told by Google Translate that it means, "Then bird in at the being walk, without seven?" We have. And it inspired us to try it with song lyrics.
What better source material for translating through several different languages than the bizarre lyrics of Kasabian? We took some of the most famous, and oddest, lyrics from the band's back-catalogue, and translated them into Afrikaan, then Catalan, then Icelandic, etc. etc. before translating them back into English.
The results are strangely poetic.
