Hi there!
Since Eddie tried at every European gig in 2005/2006 to say a few words in the language of the certain country and since I sat together with two Czech girls who tried to translate his speeches on the Prague boot and since the new DVD supports a translation of one Italian gig speech, I thought about "organizing" this topic in a thread. SO, I ask all of you who likes to give a translation of his speech in Zagreb, Milan, Barcelona, etc. to post it here. I am very curious...
I'll come up with a first one I once posted in another forum...

...should we also transcribe here the ORIGINAL language? Is there any interest for that? For my part I would say: YES!
..I'll try to help out on the Marseille/Paris boots (Don't think he did any French in Antwerp or Bern..but I wasn't there so not sure)

"Isch liebe Eusch"
Booooooooooooooo!
We don't speak French in Antwerp!
And Eddie was well aware of this, he even said he would keep talking English because 'you can't decide which language to speak' or something like that...

i'm loving it???
or is that isch liebe es??
i am close anyway!!
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!
"Ich liebe Euch" means "I love you" (you = plural) - I just wrote it like Ed pronounces it
"Ich liebe es" means "I love it"
Yeah, and said his Dutch was as good as his French...LOL
it was very funny (we all knew how Vallonian and Flandrian people think of each other by the way;) )

Il y a 5 années aujourd'hui, un accident terrible s'est produit sur le sol américain. La réponse entendue de France était - dans une citation - : "Nous sommes tous des Américans". Après une année où l'administration de notre Président a semblé oublier ce cadeau depuis. Et alors, nous représentons la majorité des Américains et nous vous remercions. Encore merci !
Five years ago today, something dreadful happened on American soil. France's response was - I quote - : "We are all Americans." Since then, our President's administration seems to have forgotten this present. So we represent the majority of the American people and we thank you. Thank you again.
The sentence starting with 'Après une année" and ending with "depuis" is not correct in French.but that's what I understand anyway. I tried to translate it as best as I could. Fellow French speakers, don't hesitate to correct me !

Dobry wieczór Chorzów.
Nie każdego dnia jedziemy przez las by dojechać na koncert. Dziękujemy, ze tu z nami jesteście skądkolwiek jesteście.
I, i, i jeśli to ok będę dalej mówić już po angielsku żeby nie mówić niczym pięciolatek.
Translation:
Good evening, Chorzow.
Not every day we go by a forest to arrive at concert. Thank You, that U are here with us, wherever you are from.
And, And, if it's ok i will speak english to not speak like 5 year-old boy

"after a year where the administration of our president seems to have forgotten this gift since" (that's not correct in English either..whoever translated what he was trying to say didn't do a very good job of it, though everyone understood)
just listened to it again and it's so funny..he sounds half English (not American), half Italian or something when he speaks French
More! More!
