Coup de boule

I think everybody here already knows what Zidane did on the WC this year in Germany (if you don't => click here).

Anyway, my neighbours in the south (the French) made a little song about it.

If you're wondering what a "coup de boule" is, just remember what Zidane did .

Forgot to turn the sound level down and woke the whole household with the catchy music. Quite entertaining but wish I could understand French.

ZZ only butted the guy in the chest – he deserved worse than that for the alleged comments he made about ZZ’s family.

Cheers

Fair play is necessary, so Materazzi is as guilty as Zidane but Zidane overreacted on the field. This was the most important game of the last 4 years and his last game but he decided to throw it all away. France would have won probably (hopefully ) if he was not so "agressive". Even wondered what kind of an example he was for all those young fans of him and football?

Anyway, tried to translate it a bit but somehow don't like it. Doesn't sound right. It somehow sounds better (and funnier) in French .


Attention, this is the head butt dance
Head butt on the right
Head butt on the left
Come on blue

Zidane has knocked, Zidane has kicked ass. (free translation )

Italy has bad luck
Zidane has knocked
Italy is going nowhere
Zidane has kicked ass
The arbiter saw on the TV
Zidane has knocked
We lost the world cup, but we had a good laugh

Zidane has knocked, Zidane has kicked ass.

Trezeguet did not play
When he did not play, he lost
But if he’d play it would be different
We lost the world cup
Barthez let everything pass
Even though it isn’t difficult
The sponsors are all mad
But Chirac “solved it with some nice talking” (seems what they mean with it)

Attention, this is the head butt dance
Head butt on the right
Head butt on the left

And now a penalty, attention, he’s going to take it
One, two, three,
It’s lost

Hello, Kieken

The video clip is entertaining in itself, so doesn’t really need the translation, but thank you for your efforts!

Now, down to the real business; how good are you at translating Japanese Takahashi manuals into English?

Cheers

Dennis

Never had Japanese when I went to high school. Though German, French, Dutch and Flemish ( ) into English should work .
