I'm familiar with the translator, but it doesn't work that well with
song lyrics. I need someone that speaks German and English.

There is a page where Rammstein lyrics are done this way. I was hoping
for a similiar page for Laibach.

You could always ask some of the really nice folks over @
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/LAIBACH-NSK/
Most of us are fluent in both of the above & more...

Yrs, &c. Lech

np: Laibach, "Reject or Breed"

I'm not familiar with the above "group". Is that a yahoo thing? Anyway
to get to the group using a newsreader like Mozilla?

Yes, it is a 'Yahoo thing'. Members mainly communicate via its
mailing-list.

I speak German and English (and a bit of Russian as well). But
translating song lyrics is a tricky business, and I'm not sure if I
could do a better job than babelfish in this department. Especially
translating Slovenian Laibach lyrics in any other language (including
Japanese).

Well, many Laibach albums contain translations on their inner sleeves
and booklets. The track "Panorama" even contains a spoken English
translation, "Leben heißt Leben" was a translation of the track "Opus
Dei (Life is Life)", "Geburt einer Nation" is a slightly altered
translation of the Queen track "One Vision".

If that's not enough, <http://www.gla.ac.uk/%7Edc4w/laibach/lyrics.html>
has an wide assortment of Laibach lyrics, including translations for the
Slovenian ones, but unfortunately the German or French lyrics were not
translated.

I'll try babelfish on Tanz Mit Laibach.

I never paid much attention to the cd case contents, so I'll take a look
there.

I didn't know they sang in Slovenian, I thought it was all German. All I
speak is English and as you may be able to tell, I don't do a good job
of that.

I'll look at the web page you gave. Thanks.

Thanks Lech..

I had started the process but wasn't having much luck.

We all are possessed
we all are verflucht
we all are gekreuzigt
we all are broken
