Italian here with a quasi-native command of the English language.
It's very hard to read. My mind tends to parse the words as if they were to be read literally.
E.g.: "I soumetymese scie jou pes outcyde mi dour"
In my mind, "soumetymese" reads as "s-how-meh-teemesseh".
"Scie" in Italian means trails. That automatically reads as "she-eh" (not "see"), as it's supposed to be pronounced in Italian.
"Jou" reminds me of the joule energy measurement unit, therefore automatically comes out as "jaw-ou" instead of "you".
And so on.
- dmichulke 10y ago> "I soumetymese scie jou pes outcyde mi dour" Yes and "pes" surely doesn't remind me of "pass" but something entirely different and quite probably offending.
- dEnigma 10y agoIndeed, that was the only word I had problems with, so I had to check the original lyrics.
