champagne for beer

[dobro]

I plugged in to google translate earlier today and...well...i don't get it

Something like that, yeah. But frits can get closer I think.

Zehr Gut!!! Ya! Man Dobro, you have mad talent. Loved listening to this mix - and the whimsical nature of the song....hats off.

Thanks for lofting in. I just sang it after I wrote it. Tjarko put the big booties on it.

Sounds good to me. I was just playing along to Cry Baby Cry and that tune has the guitar hard right. So here with the keys hard panned right my brain was already in line. Random luck. Regardless, the production sounds perfect to me. I remember the naked version of this, so yeah it has come a long way. Applauding your collaboration.

Thanks, man. Nice.

The Afrikaans translation isn't as poetic or subtle.

Stel je voor dat ik jou vriend ben daar voor ruil ik met liefde champagne voor bier

I think it's something like, Imagine I was your boyfriend (queue zipper), I would, with love, swap champagne for beer.

What some people do for love.

I asked him to parallel the English sung verse. But of course, he had poetic license. And also, of course, I have no idea what the Dutch actually says. The only part I'm sure about is 'champagne voor bier'.
