Today I accidently came upon something I have been looking for a long time – well translated and annotated Manu Chao lyrics.
I enjoyed reading them, the layout is nice you can easily follow the original while playing with the translation, and there are footnotes for many of the expressions.
Enjoy: http://web.telia.com/~u49903585/en/music/mc/index.htm
I removed the link above, since it was dead. I could not find in anywhere on the net …
I only found a translation of one album here, and it is just a translation, no annotations or explanations of what he means by certain expressions.
Please if someone finds more translations – drop me a line.
While on the subject of lyrics – here is an excellent description of all the events refered to in Bily Joel’s “We didn’t start the fire” – http://www.usgovernetics.com/Wal-to-Wed/we_didnt_start_the_fire.php
