Need Help For Translating In English Please !

Hello,

I composed a music and I added voices with Renoise v2.0. I am French and I would like to know if voices were translated correctly in English please :

“This is my song about 1980’s video games”
“Don’t forget the old games in the years 1980’s !”
“Do you remember of the old games ?”
“Old games will never die !”

Thank you for your help & Greetings,

Hi,

/me ain’t no good in english neither,
but /me tries to help:

“This is my song about 1980’s video games”

"Don’t forget the old games in the years of the 1980’s !"
( if you’re forgetting in the year 1999, you’re forgeting something in the year 1999, not the year 1999)

"Do you remember of the old games ?"
( the “of” was too much and the “the” felt wrong, because you asked for no special game … hmpf - can’t
explain, what i mean - nevermind … )

“Old games will never die !”


’ hope i could help,
but as i’m also no native speaker,
there might be some mistakes left …

Joy to the World,
JoyJoy

i think the incorrect ones are better though :)

I would even go so far as to say…

Don’t forget the old games of the 80’s”, if you want to make it really native sounding.

My reasoning; Games in the 1980’s would have of course been current at their time of release (that is how time works), so they would not have been “old” at the time.

Complex stuff, I am sure you will agree.

You could go for “oldskool games” or maybe “retro games”…

“games of the 80s” has a certain ring to it though.

[MC] Can has game of the 80’s?
[crowd] YES YOU CAN!

repeat until screaming

“oldskool games of the 80’s”? That is redundant. One or the other.

I would try everything in my power to refrain from using “80’s” anywhere, so… ;)

You are ignoring an entire decade? That is bold.

Yes, I admit it is… but then again, it’s not I miss out or anything… ;)

  1. You were born in the 80’s

  2. Have a look on wikipedia.org about the 1980’s.

Thanks, did that… though it only proved my point.
And about being born in the 80’s, well… at least ONE highlight then… ;)

Hmm.

Question; Reading between the lines, you consider the 1980s to be a decade where nothing good happened?

Nah, that’s not true. I can only go so far as to say I dislike the 80’s (sub)cultures…
Tongue-in-cheek stuff, sorry… was just fooling around :)

I like The Police and Dire Straits a lot, for example
