To translate literally...

Kup bekau da'lejdr le'vett.
/kup ˈbe.kaʊ daˈleɪ.dr̩ leˈvetː/
1SG-be chronically.crazy-ADJ like=dragon.DIM LOC=road

To use a more idiomatic expression...

Kup bjatont le'tes soxau.
/kup ˈbja.tont leˈtes ˈso.xaʊ
1SG-be cheese-person LOC=place deepness-ADJ
I'm a cheese maker in the Underworld.

(In their mythology there is no need to eat in the Underworld.)

1s PRS crazy like lizard of road
I am crazy like a road lizard

Is there some reason so many of you are spelling "lizard" with two Z's? Thinking of the word "blizzard", perhaps?
