Странная у нас деревня

Странная у нас деревня -
Стоит задом наперед!
Да и парни все плохие -
Никто замуж не берет!
 
Übersetzung

Our Village

Our village is a strange one -
It stands backwards, it's no fun!
And the guys are all bad, bar none, -
No one marries me, not one!

Thanks. So far very few people seem to appreciate equirhythmic poetic singable translations, also preserving the meaning of the source.

If the source has an inconsistent meter, TL can improve upon it by introducing a more rigid one: that would be an M or MR. But generally M is reserved for poetic translations with the meter which has nothing in common with the differently metered source: one won't be able to sing those TLs to the original music, but they would stand on their own as poetry.

Oh, thanks, but my ER Chastushki efforts are more akin to FU gesture, since almost no one cares about hundreds of my other, more serious ER translations (classical poetry etc.) In fact, they find more followers on YouTube than here.

Sure, but many members routinely get 5:1, 10:1 and higher Thanks-to-TL ratios from day one for simple literal works, and many of those are misunderstood and mistranslated (not even including members of mutual "thank you" in-groups, some with 15+ ratios). Hundreds of my thanks are for song postings, not even translations, of which 400+ haven't been noticed, so statistics doesn't lie: equirhythmic poetic singable translations with maximum meaning preservation are not needed here.

Nope: the sentiment was all mine. Actually, the last time anything good happened to me was in 1998, how about that, huh?

All's going bad, bad went what is already gone
It's been a trend, so bad it goes and goes
And this continues till the way to Heaven is shown
By my proverbially uprisen toes...
