Winter is icumen in (English translation)
English (Middle English)

Winter is icumen in
Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing goddamm,
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

English translationEnglish
Winter has arrived
Winter has arrived,
Loudly sing Goddamm.
It rains and ruins our clothes,
And how the wind howls!
Sing: Goddamm.
Buses slide and spray us with dirty snow,
And my legs shiver.
The river freezes, I am sick to my stomach,
Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, it is why I am, Goddamm,
So ‘gainst the winter’s weather.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing Goddamm.
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

I put it as "ancient english" because our database doesn't accept a translation from "english" to "english"...
And, anyway, it is a parody of an ancient language, using "ancientlike" syntax and lexic.
I did the same thing with another (italian) parody of medieval language:

Read about music throughout history
This is a parody of the famous ancient canone "Sumer is icumen in"
