Italian

The language of joy and languish, you are just a voice out of a flute

Your whole being is song, each of your words a sonett

Beloved dove, please stay and coo about desire and indulgence

Pity that eunuchs are the best singers in your country

 

lel eunuchs...

 

Cont. for Spanish, French...

Only two lines for

 

Spanish

You're supposed to be pleasant and proud. I don't know you, but many

Who don't know you any more than I do, praise you highly here in our North

 

Shamefur dispray Tegnér. Why write about Spanish in the first place if you don't know it? Just to shit on it, too...

 

Cont. for French, English...

This whole poem is so fucking kc tier tbh. 19th century nationalism was just unironic countryballing

To think that the world used to be kc tier

Btw Spanish has replaced German as the most popular second foreign language for Swedish students. Of course English is the first foreign language.

bersonally i think spanish is even more beautiful than italian or french

we were borned in le wrong generation…

Spanish is nice. I prefer Latin over Italian but this >>266956 I dunno, maybe if the original Latin of antiquity not the renaissance Latin they teach in school.

I rarely listen Greek so I've no opinion.

English sounds good probably because I'm the most accustomed with. My favs is the Southern US accent, however there is a nasal version of it that sounds meowing, that's not good (but at least funny).

German is okay, it can be pleasant.

In the last over a half dozen years I listen more and more Slavic, mostly Russian. The don't seem disgusting anymore, but I doubt I could ever call them nice, will just remain neutral.

Now French. This one I do not like at all. Swedish sounds a lot like French. It was very surprising for me when I first heard Swedish. I thought it's liek German but not at all.

So. Where is the passage about French?

But nobody knows how it sounded, we have only very approximate speculations about it.

Also sound of some languages shifted (or at least converged) significantly since 18th century.

Yes and that's approximation is enough to know that it was a hard, manly language of barbaric conquerors. Unlike the Latin Tegnér describes as such.

Wrong.

French is long and I'm not paid to do this. Anyhow here it comes:

 

French

Babbling you jump forth, lying and giving compliments

Still your politeness is graceful, still your lisp is sweet

Let's not praise you any longer as a queen for all the sisters

Though still we like to listen to you as a lady's companion.

But please spare us of your song, it's like a dance of the deaf

The feet they move well, the rhythm they never hear.

 

Quite typical for national romanticism in a Germanic country to put French as an insincere and artificial counterpoint to the more honest and austere Germanic.

 

Cont. for English, German...

That's the only good part and you wanted to rob us with that you niggardly fuck.

Who says I wanted to rob you? I'm just not translating the whole thing at once.

But if you want to be an ingrate you can go learn Swedish yourself.

Then stop bitching about doing it for free.

Yeah, learning Swedish is a thankless task that's for sure.

Do you?

Fuck you ungrateful Magyarnigger.

Should be grateful for what? Couple of line of scribbles? What a gift from heavens...

Cont. plox :3

なんか親に虐待されて性格がひん曲がったんだなあ、ってことは伝わった

ママの性器でも吸ってろ！その汚い唇でな！

Ask the Hungarian to do it with google translate or something.

Lel, blaming the result of your character flaws on me. Good job.

Stop projecting your shittiness onto me, retard.
