Second Language

You say what I want, where it is, how many
I can count in you, but not on you, yet
Speaking by numbers, how much is a penny
Expressed in worn phrases and fret

I always knew how to say yes, never no
A few words, a dirty phrase
My brain is familiar, at least so-so
My heart is unsure, slightly phased

You're easier to learn in your own world
How does one really enter there
Especially your R's, slightly curled
Saying I love you, versus fingers in hair

I'll let in those past sharing roots with my words
Might utter strange insights, be slightly misread
Uncommon animals with strange different furs
Tread lightly where stomping is needed instead

From the page, by the eye, you're more easily fixed
Beginning to unravel, beginning to rhyme
My heart softens, relents, reflexed
I spell you out slowly, tracing your line


Le Langue Deuzieme

Tu dis qoia je veu, ou c'est, combien
Tu est comptable, mais pas bien sur, encore
Le Parlence par les chiffres, c'est combien, ein pfenny
Mes sentiments en les cliches, les dents clenche

J'ai sais deja a dir oui et non
Quel'qe mots, le phrase sale
Mon cerveau connait bien, a moin ci-ca
Ma coeur avec doubte, doucement derange

Toi est comprenable plus dans ton monde de toi
Mais, comment c'est on entre la
Especialement tes r's, un peu boucleie
A dir j't'aime contra une carresse a cheveau

J permisai entre que partage les racines de mes mots
Peut etre les vu d'erangier, etre mal comprende
L'animal rare avec marveilleaux peltiers
Allez silentement ou les forte marche est a propos

Sur la page, par l'oeille, tu est plus facilement entrappe
Commence a debruiler, commence a fais la rhyme
Mon coeur fondais, relentez, reflaicher
J' m'eppeler t'lentement, suivez ton ligne.


The Worst Translation

You're from where I look, or is it that much
You're countered, corn not sweet at the core
It speaks by the numbers, asks much, one penfy
More feelings on the keys, the tooth locks

I've known of then at dear yes is no
Is it of the bits, the line on salt
Me on servo can eat well, on my see saw
My heart abeat double, dew on the range

You east understood more dance your mind from you
A little to be these views of outranger, to be badly with taken
The animal rare with marvellous hunters
Quietly goes out where strong steps are right

By the paper, with looking, you east more facing in to rap
Come and see noise, come and see make the ryhme
My core fond is, slowly, reflecting
I me spell you slowly, swing by your lines
