This is my translation of "Who Wants to Live Forever",
originally by Queen (Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon,
and of course the late Freddie Mercury). It is almost
certaint that this contains errors. Also, I dislike using
"muSHa' " for "love". This seems to emphisize the relationship
between "love" and "hate". Also, several lines are "made up"
in the sence that the original version bears only a little
resemblence to the translated text. This is due to lack of
words, grammer, or length constraints. I have tried to keep
the meter, however I didn't quite succeeded. There might be
some objections to using "rInbe'taH", "never ending" or
"forever", but then there is the meter and also I wanted to
use "forever" as a noun. I espessially welcome comments from
persons who never heard "Who Wants to Live Forever" before,
despite the fact it means they've missed out on a great song.
Anyway, here it is.

P.S.: How would anyone say "down-town chewing gum bums?"
