Tangled in translation

This post is a homage to the zillions of Kimbra fans that don't understand a word of English and must struggle with the lyrics of her songs armed with automated trangstlation tools.

This is what we get when we use Google Translator for translating "Old Flame" lyrics from English to Korean, then back to English (original lyrics on the left).

Old flame, it's always the old way When did it get so darned cold? You're so seasonal We flickered and swayed Each time the winter soul came I remember gold days Under love's warm haze Old flame, you're still the one that holds me Can't you feel it burning? Can't you feel it burning still? Old flame, I fell for your inferno Where did all the love go? Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me? I went by your house today When did you get so hollow? So closed, so overgrown? But I flicker and sway Still dancing on the aftertaste I remember gold days Wrapped up in the warmth we made Old flame, you're still the one that holds me Can you feel it burning? Can you feel it burning still? Old flame, I fell for your inferno Where did all the love go? Can't you feel the wind blow? Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes (Feel  there's something in the air) From such heights, I fell into fahrenheit And time only fuels the desire (When there's something in the air) It's always the old way When did it get so darned cold? You're so seasonal Old flame, burning Burning, burning still Old flame, inferno Where did all the love go? Na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na

True, the last few lines are spot on.
