Have you ever wondered what non-English speakers hear in English songs? Strangely neither had I. Anyway, many otherwise shallow and inconsequential songs take deeper and more profound meanings once translated. But, unless you happen to be fluent in Chinese, German, Portugeese or Korean, you were never previously aware of these levels of complexity. Until now that is!
With the aid of highly sophisticated software (Alta Vista's Babel Fish service actually), we can offer up the following examples of Worldwide Pop. All songs have been translated into the language shown and then returned to English for your entertainment.

Grandad, You Are Charmer Spanish

I have myself been seating here all the day thinking
the same old thing that goes away ten years of absentee thinking
now my days, memories I fall behind in thoughts of when he was Pennyfarthings boy

in the cars of mounting straddling the street was amused things,
frightful arc and of Annie of the covers of the hoops and doing to turn
the humorous cuts of
lollipops of gretzel,
all the diverse Grandad things,

Grandad, grandad you you are charmer
who is what all we thought about you
Granddad, the granddad that you are charmer
who is what all we thought about you
the grandad of Grandad

Aeroplanes tied for above with the telephones of flight of the sequence and the things
that spoke sighing the radio and the phonograph,
Charlie Chaplin of A did the laughter to us
that quiet lowered on familiar things that I keep around,
near me the memories of my younger days,
clearly now he is in my mind?
Daily encounter, the thoughts of when he was Grandad boy,

Grandad, grandad you are charmer
who is what all we thought about you
Grandad, the grandad that you are charmer
who is what all we thought about you
Grandad, the grandad Grandad,
grandad Grandad, grandad
