Babel Vs Rio

Post by GunnerDude »

Some of you might already know that Ryan Babel is also a rapper in his home country.
This is him having a go at Rio ahead of the weekends fixture

I think there's a few translation problems, but they're only minor ones.

It's pretty convenient that every line rhymes in Dutch and English.
Is it not completely obvious that the translation is a pisstake? He even insults himself for buying the watch.

I'm Dutch and yes, the translation is a pisstake. Apparently, Babel's rap name is Rio. I didn't know that, because he's got no music career at all in the Netherlands, just like his career at Anfield is just nothing. :lol:

To be short, this rap is utter crap. I translated a few sentences:

- I am the Liverpool star (not joking, that's what he said really...)
- This is the Premier League, with hooligans in the stands
- You can see this nigger with number nineteen
- People watch YouTube to learn my football moves
- I can't even turn my bank account into debts (don't know if this is a good translation, but he means he's got much more money than he can spend...)
- Keep your daughter at home, or else you will become my father-in-law. I'll get your daughter in and turn her into a cleaning lady

:shock: :?
