Smash Mouth's "All Star" lyrics, translated to from English to Aramaic and back again by Isaac Mayer:

There was one who said unto me that the universe was going to cause me to tremble,
That I am not the sharpest cutting implement in the storehouse.
She had the appearance unto me as a stupid one,
With her finger and her thumb
In the frame of a Greek gamma upon her forehead.

Behold, the years begin coming, and do not cease from coming.
Fed unto the axioms, and I fell upon the earth and ran.
It was not acceptable if not to live for the sake of pleasurable things.
Your brain increases its wisdom, but your heart increases its stupidity.
A great amount to do, a great amount to see,
Therefore, there is no difficult problem if we take the streets of the backside.
You will not know if you do not go.
You will not shine if you do not glow.

Behold currently! You are entirely a star child! Begin your power! Go! Laugh!
Behold currently! You are a master of the music! Begin your singing! Acquire your wages!
All that sparkles is gold!
Comets alone shatter the frame!
There are some class lyrics in there, ISB. Very Trollheart-esque.

For the first time it looks like we have been well and truly snookered by Song 4: My darling, I find it hard to comprehend how it is we are unable to remain joined
And this occasion may, I fear, be the final one, if I do not clarify how much I require your company.


Unless ribbons is still working on song 4, then I'd say TH, please reveal!
