Beans

Post by Imralu »

Theme of Mr Bean, original in Latin.

Ecce homo qui est faba. Ecce homo qui est faba
Vale homo qui est faba qui est faba qui est faba.

:eng:
Behold the man who is a bean. Behold the man who is a bean.
Farewell the man who is a bean, who is a bean, who is a bean.

:tan: Swahili:

Angalia mwanaume aliye haragwe. Angalia mwanaume aliye haragwe.
Kwa heri, mwanaume aliye haragwe, aliye haragwe, aliye haragwe.

I've changed the structure a bit to meet the meter.

χαῖρε ἄνηρ· κύαμος εἶ, κύαμος εἶ, κύαμος εἶ.

Farewell, man! You are a bean, you are a bean, you are a bean.

Tangential note: The translations of "behold" and "farewell" in French and Silvish are all based on their verbs for "to see".
