Translations

All of of us from here speak English.
But when there is something non-English most of us want help.
Others who know other languages, too will help us by doing a translation!!!

So as I promised here are the questions... to some of them I wrote the answers too in order to be more easy for you Sorry for my possible mistakes,if you don't understand smth. feel free to ask me
Woman1:Thanks for coming here in our studio and for accepting to answer to the fans questions.How are you?So let's begin..I will concentrate only of some of the questions.
W2:What do you know about Chile?
Brian:Stef is a big fan of the local wine
W3:And apart from the wine?
w4:Which were the first things that you've done after landing in Chile yesterday?
Brian:I was practicing my kung-fu moves at the airport...
W5:How were the fans from the airport?
Steve:Crazy
W6:But you have been to Chile before,and you should have known how the fansare.Was these a surprise?Were you expecting it?
W7:This question was too weird so I couldn't translate it.It was smth. about releasing Song To Say Good- bye and Because I Want You only in some countries but I'm not sure cause some words were missing from that sentence.
Brian:Why not?Why do you have to release the same single all over the world?
W8:So there are different editions for different countries?
Brian:Sure
W9:Why did you put the name Placebo to the band?
Brian:Because I thought Oasis was a shit name for a band
W10:But does it has a certain history?
W11:Have you ever thought of making a B-sides album?
Brian:No , but if you want to do it... feel free
W12:What is Placebo preparing to us for tomorrow's concert?What can be able to see?
Steve: A very powerful rock show
W13:Do you know the group that is going to perform before you tonight?Do you know/like their music?
Brian:Of course...
W14:How do you select the band that opens your shows?
W15:What's coming after Meds?Do you think of a new album?
W16:Do you like the public from Chile?
Brian:It's over the top
W17:How did you came to Chile for the first time?(another weird question...not sure I translated it good)
Brian:We took a plane
W17:But which was the connection?Do you choose the countries you wanna go to?
Brian:We go everywhere
W18:Is there any responsibility regarding the lyrics?
Brian:No , I don't think so.It's a very personal vision...
W19:How do you feel when you share all your personal sentiments with so many people?
W20:Which is the album that you always have with you in your CDplayer?
W21:How do you feel when you see that your fans prefer watching you rather than doing their homeworks?
Brian:Hummm?No comprendo.(this means I don't understand)
W22:Well I imagine that there are lots of people connected right now to our videochat and they wanna know what do you think when you see that they prefer watching you instead of learning?
W23:I'm from Mexico so how do you think about the Mexican public?How were they?
Brian:Fantastic
W24:Can you compare the public from Chile with the one from the rest of the Latin America?Has it something special?
Stef:We hope this will be the biggest
W15:What gives you the energy?Which is your engine?
Brian:It's a BMW
W25:People say that you made sensation with your guitar during The Bitter End.Describe the sensation and what does it transmit to the public
Brian:I have absolutely no fucking idea what are you talking about
W26:The projects with you own bands affect Placebo?Stef with Hotel Persona and Steve with Ancient B?
Brian:No
Stef:This means we have no holidays.
I'll post the rest of it later
W= that stupid woman

Thank you very,very much!

Thank you !!!!!!!

I have to translate the whole interview in french. Problem : I don't understand all they say. ^^
I've already translate the part you wrote down over_end (thank you again), so the spanish part...
I would like someone to write down the english part (for me to translate the placebo's answers...)
Well, just tell me what Brian, Steve and Stef say.. :shy:

First of all, the interview is not all written down.
But soon, I will write down the answers and Bianca will continue with the Spanish translation

Admin wrote:First of all, the interview is not all written down.

Thanks in advance !
you know, I proposed to translate the whole interview on the City forum. I thought it should be easy, I understood lots of things the first time
BUT > it's impossible for me, finally
I've got all the questions already in french, but the answer I can't translate them. Well, if I read the interview, I can translate easily, but I don't understand, they speak too fast

Yeah...I see. It is very difficult indeed.
Anyway, don't expect great results, I'm sorry we are not native speakers.....

Admin wrote:Yeah...I see. It is very difficult indeed.

And me? You are all so much better than me in english, so I ask help, a lil help

Gee, this one's quite hard to understand. There are several places where I've no fucking idea what they're saying.

These are just the answers from the first 7 minutes of the interview, I'll write the rest, just give me some time

All: Thank you, thank you, we’re ok.
___
Brian: Stef’s a big fan of the local wine.
Stef: Well, we were here 2 years ago for the first time and we had an extremely warm welcome and that’s why we come back.
About the country.. You’ve got some issues with politics and transport, but, I guess that’s, um.. it happens. So, um..
Brian: You became free from a dictatorship 17 years ago..
[Stef mumbles something that I couldn’t understand..]
___
Brian: I was practicing my kung-fu moves at the airport.. you know
___
Steve: Crazy, absolutely crazy, yeah
___
Steve: It’s always a surprise and it’s always unexpected, I suppose. They are very enthusiastic..
Brian: You’re such a diplomat.
Stef: He’s Swedish.
___
Brian: What?
Oh! Why not? You know, why do you have to release the same single all over the world? .. you know
..
Brian: Sure, yeah.
___
Brian: Um, because I thought Oasis was a shit name for a band.
[Stef or Steve mumbles something]
Yeah, it has a certain history for me, yeah. I was a .. when I was very young I was a Guinea pig for lots of drug tests
___
Brian: No, no! But if you want to do it, feel free.
___
Steve: A very powerful rock show. And we might bring some visuals this time [or something like that]
Brian: Yeah.
___
Brian: Of course, otherwise they wouldn’t be opening for us.
___
[Stef answers something that I didn’t get, something about MySpace maybe, but I’m not sure]
___
Steve: Yeah, yeah, we can hear you.
Brian: Oh, yes, we can hear you.
/I guess this was for the interpreter/
___
[Brian says something, I’ve no fucking idea what, but it was something funny obviously..]
Steve: Maybe the [something] The world’s a big place..[..something..].. so we’re trying to do as much as we can, so maybe in the future.

___
Brian: Um, it’s over the top, yeah, it’s over the top. Yeah.
___
Brian: We took a plane.
___
Brian: We’ll go everywhere.
___
Brian: No, no, I don’t think so. It’s a very, sort of, personal vision. It’s an expression of, kind of, how you react to the world, you know, so I don’t think that it comes for[?] responsibility.
..
Brian: I just, you know, I just feel very lucky that so many people want to listen to it and understand it, and it means something to these people.

Brian: Oh, that's easy, Return To Cookie Mountain by TV On The Radio.

Steve: Yeah, that'd be great.
___
Brian: Well, there isn't one really.
___
Brian: I'm just proud of the record as a whole, really.
Steve: It's difficult to choose one song.
___
this is the kinda-smoking part, not very understandable..
Stef: Can you ask [..something..]
Brian: Maybe someone in the audience has?
..
Brian: Kids, don't smoke!
___
Stef: Well, this record was made more like with just the three of us in the room ..and then he keeps on talking, but unfortunately I can't hear it properly because of the interpreter talking at the same time in Spanish..
..
Stef: Most of it, yes.
___
Brian: You know, electronic music is like every kind of music, you know. There's shit electronic music and amazing electronic music..
___
Brian: Oh, that's easy, it's The Flaming Lips..It's like being ..[..something about birthday party and children..]
___
Brian: Sure. Can we stay at your house?
the interpreter: I would be happy.
___
Steve: It's the whole world, basically.

..
Steve: Like I said, we're extremely lucky.

To be continued..

I'm off-topic but : Are you on the PlaceboCity forum ? And please, what are over_end's and eniidnu's pseudo on it ?
I have to thank you when I post the whole translation

Yeeeeeeeeey thanks Eniindu for writing the answers.... now I have to translate only from spanish to english

___
Brian: Nothing.
Steve: Interviews.
[laugh]
___
Brian: Sometimes, sometimes.
___
Stef: ..[..something..]
the interpreter: Sorry?
Brian: We wrote a song called Besame Mucho.
___
Brian: Next!
___
Stef: We heard he was doing ..[something].. duets, ..[something].. I love song between two men and I felt it would be ..[something].. to do it with him.
___
Brian: Don't care.
___
Brian: Lots and we've forgotten them all.
___
Brian: We weren't friends at school, actually. We went to school together but we weren't friends.
..
Brian: You know,..
Stef: ..[something about goals, I guess].. at the beginning, but they were smaller than they are today.
..
Stef: To play on moon.
the interpreter: Sorry?
Brian: First band on the moon.
___
Brian: Um.. I think it's weird. Um, I think, you know, sometimes it feels like the most wonderful thing in the world and sometimes it feels like a really big pain in the ass. But I wouldn't change it at all.
___
Brian: I would change the album cover for Black Market Music, yeah.
___
Stef: A pain in the ass.
[laugh]
Brian: It's always dangerous working with people who know you really well, because you can't get away with anything.
___
Brian: It's more uncommon for people not to work with their producer than it is for people to work with the producer.
..
Brian: No, not really.
Stef: We've tried it.
..
Stef: Yeah, we did it with Black Market Music.
___
Brian: Howdy!
___
Brian: What can you recommend?
the interviewer: Um, eat, sleep, eating in good places, here in this, um..
Brian: What can they recommend?
___
Brian: I split my trousers a few times.
[Steve says something that I didn't get]
..
Brian: Well, no, not really.
___
Brian: No, not really, they're for fans. Um, you know, when your day is over you don't really, sort of, spend you free time going on the internet reading about yourself. We're not Robbie Williams.
___
Brian: Thank you "WOW", thank you other Chilean fans, thanks for your support. Peace.
