The Destruction of Sennacherib
By Lord Byron (George Gordon)
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.
And there lay the rider distorted and pale,
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.
And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!

If anyone wants to try some German:
"Wohin ist Gott?" rief er, "ich will es euch sagen!
Wir haben ihn getötet - ihr und ich!
Wir sind seine Mörder! Aber wie haben wir das gemacht?
Wie vermochten wir das Meer auszutrinken?
Wer gab uns den Schwamm, um den ganzen Horizont wegzuwischen?
Was taten wir, als wir diese Erde von ihrer Sonne losketteten? Wohin bewegt sie sich nun?
Wohin bewegen wir uns?
Fort von allen Sonnen?
Stürzen wir nicht fortwährend?
Und rückwärts, seitwärts, vorwärts, nach allen Seiten?
Gibt es noch ein Oben und ein Unten? Irren wir nicht durch ein unendliches Nichts?
Haucht uns nicht der leere Raum an?
Ist es nicht kälter geworden?
Kommt nicht immerfort die Nacht und mehr Nacht?
Müssen nicht Laternen am Vormittag angezündet werden?
Hören wir noch nichts von dem Lärm der Totengräber, welche Gott begraben?
Riechen wir noch nichts von der göttlichen Verwesung? - auch Götter verwesen!
Gott ist tot! Gott bleibt tot! Und wir haben ihn getötet!
Wie trösten wir uns, die Mörder aller Mörder?

Fuck my German "r"
>>56399344
That was pretty good tbqh Vlad, but yeah your r is off and you are a bit heavy on the accent. Overall I'd say a 7/10
>>56398426
I extremely love the way german is written. Would love to be able to speak it so much.
Each must find their own way. If those in our heartland had witnessed the savageries of the void as have we they would know this. The hand of each of the starfarers is turned against the other; none will join their strength together just to see their ancient enemies prosper. Neither should we.
Theres some reading for you pooplords!
>>56399478
Been trying to fix it for a year or so, but still no results, unfortunately :c
Sometimes it seems to me that I should be using the "r" like I've just recorded, because it doesn't sound so harsh, at least to me.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0e3jx0LuXPb
Some old spanish coming through
Sobre Baza estaba el rey,
lunes, después de yantar;
Miraba las ricas tiendas
que estaban en su real;
miraba las huertas grandes
y miraba el arrabal;
miraba el adarve fuerte
que tenía la ciudad;
miraba las torres espesas,
que no las puede contar.
Un moro tras una almena
comenzóle de hablar:
-Vete, el rey don Fernando,
non querrás aquí envernar,
que los fríos de esta tierra
no los podrás comportar.
Pan tenemos por diez años,
mil vacas para salar;
veinte mil moros hay dentro,
todos de armas tomar,
ochocientos de caballo
para el escaramuzar;
siete caudillos tenemos,
tan buenos como Roldán,
y juramento tienen hecho
antes morir que se dar.
>>56398426
I'll record that later, but first I'd like to know some things if you may answer me:
How do I know when the ö is oe or oo? And the g is ch, k, or g itself? Like in König I know you say it Koonich, but why?
Fuck this seriously.
>>56399573
http://vocaroo.com/i/s16J9X6SEAib
>>56399750
That was better. The r in "ihr" was perfect, the ones before were still a little too harsh.
>>56399857
I can't think of any words where ö is pronounced as oo. And g is always g, using ch or k is only for subhumans speaking in dialect tbqh. I'll record how you say König in a minute
>>56400016
how to pick up a german bitch anally being a hohol?
>>56399857
I think "g" is read like "ch" mostly in cases when the word is an adjective or when it end with "-ig"
>>56400016
Welp, looks like I gotta choose which "r" to use by just comparing which one sounds better in this or that word.

1. Be as darkskinned as possible
2. Do not learn the language
3. Be as rude and disrespectful as you can
Congratulations, you now have a german bitch.
>>56400226
Just always do it as softly as you can, german isn't really a harsh language and we don't sound like we're constantly angry, that's a meme.
>>56400300
> we don't sound like we're constantly angry, that's a meme
I know right, Kamerad. But it's just memed so extremely hard here, in Russia. Pretty much everyone I know say call it a "dog lanuage" because they listened to a few Rammstein songs (especially "Du hast") and now they think that every single German speaker sounds like Lindemann. It's just so annoying and makes me cringe a lot, tвh.
>>56400456
Du Hast is extremely overrated.
But Lindeman is fucking amazing.
>>56400456
>>56400637
I don't listen to Rammstein because I'm not a leftist faggot
>>56400687
Can you do this?
Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo weilest du?
>>56400637
Used to listen to them before and then got into the whole Neue Deutsche Härte thing, but later realized that it's actually mediocre at best.
>>56400687
Do mostly leftists listen to that in Germany? Because here people listening to them are nearly considered to be antisocial psychopathic nazis or fascists, heh
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1nCIlil8tSl
Also, tell me about my mistakes.
>>56401177
Could you just speak a little louder? I could only make out some words because I'm at work and don't want to blast the volume.
>>56401343
what kind of work? making burgers?
>>56401409
LOL no. I manage the guys flipping them ;)
>>56401343
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0FynmnT7lYy
Hope this is better.
>>56401478
This is really good, you sound like a native American with a slight slavic accent, which is extremely common and so you'd fit right in.
What I immediately noticed that is really common, is "apologize" has a really strong sounding 'o'.
rather than: a-poll-agize
try: a-pall-agize
Also, you do a sort of French-like delineation between words. Particularly, "want you" sounds like:
want-tchew. Kind of like how you would pronounce "tu" in french. Make this more staccato, as in:
want (break) you.
Hope this helps!
Sounds great, lad!
>>56401860
wow thanks! This really does help!
>>56401478
why can't my ears stop bleeding listening to this?
do i sound like a native?

このカンダタという男は、人を ころしたし、家に火をつけました。色々な悪いことをした大どろぼうです。でも、一つだけ良いことをしました。ある日、カンダタははやしの中を歩きなら、色々悪いことを考えていました。その時、くもがいっぴき、カンダタの目の前を 通りました。カンダタはくもを見て、さいしょはころしたいと思いました。

>>56400893
Yeah, Rammstein is a leftist band. I don't know why many people think they are nazis considering they have a song in which they literally say "Mein Herz schlägt links" - "My heart beats left"
>>56403312
Not bad, the russian was slightly better but your r is closer, we don't really roll it like you sometimes do.
>>56406075
Yes, that's Nietzsche
You did really well, friend.

Pyörimismäärä on analoginen suoraviivaisen liikkeen liikemäärälle. Pyöriminen on kaksiulotteista iikettä. Yleensä sitä kuvataan vektorilla.
Ruuvien ja muttereiden kiristysmomentit ilmoitetaan SI-järjestelmää käytettäessä newtonmetreinä. Aikaisemmin käytettiin usein kilopondimetriä. Anglosaksisia mittajärjestelmiä käyttävässä maailmassa kiristysmomentti ilmoitetaan tuumanauloina tai jalkanauloina. Kiristys tiettyyn momenttiin hallitaan momenttiavaimella.

>>56407286
You know Rammstein can be very auto ironical at times. Links was written expressively because someone criticized them of being nazi.
While with Mutter for example (and I guess we can count in Praise Abort by Lindemann himself) they take for example a more conservative stance.
They very often try to send a message with their texts and sometimes are very controversial while doing that, but I wouldn't call them a leftist band because of that.
Keep in mind that the guys lived under the DDR so they know what it's like to actually live in very leftist environment.
>>56414847
Does this suffice?
>>56415232
Damn it
>>56415089
T-thank you Babs, though that is kind of gay. Do you want me to read you something?
>>56415099
Maybe leftist is taking it a little far, but they are leaning more to the left than the right.
I don't like their music either way tbqh
>>56415426
> Do you want me to read you something?
OI oi ... steady Babs, you're in there
>>56415426
>Do you want me to read you something?
Lullaby and good night
Close your eyes and sleep tight
Like a rose in its bed
Lay down your sweet head
Go to sleep do not cry
Till the morning is nigh
Go to sleep do not cry
Till the morning is nigh

I'm wondering, how widespread are these tunes? Is there a Russian version that uses the same melody?
>>56416301
chuckled at your American accent because I knew you were going to use the Thornberry voice
>>56416469
I just made up my own, really, the first tune(s) that came into my mind, never heard of that lullaby before
>>56416004
Read: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0TOOhPQMuOw
I also sang it but I can't sing: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1ckBtdnfVBH
Anybody interested in some Tuesday night poker? I could go for some chit-chat. This lullaby stuff has got me all sad now. :(
>>56416524
Yeah I thought it was abit off, but I just figured it was because of how drunk your were. kek
>>56416783
>I also sang it but I can't sing
10/10, savin' that one.
>>56416783
I actually don't really like lullabies, but god damn you sing it in such an awesome voice and tone, just 10\10, Kamerad
>>56416914
>poker
You should have said that earlier, I'm going to bed in like 15 minutes.
>savin' that one.
o-oh okay, I hope it will bring you nice dreams Babs.
>>56416950
Oh my thank you, you guys are all so nice. <3
>>56416914
Define night, because we've got big difference in timezones and I'd actually like to join if I'm able and allowed to.
> I just figured it was because of how drunk your were
Зa твoё здopoвьe, тoвapищ! (I'm actually out of my cognac :c)
>>56417003
>you guys are all so nice
I don't know if it's just me, but I find nice people only in(or is it "on"?) vocaroo threads.
But anyways, I'm extremely kind probably because I'm drunk, hehe (which doesn't denies the fact that your voice is awesome)
>>56417152
I've noticed that too, people in other generals should be nicer to each other tbqh
Thank you Russia, that makes me very happy. You guys are bros.
>>56417048
>Define night, because we've got big difference in timezones and I'd actually like to join if I'm able and allowed to.
For sure man. Normally we play on Friday and Saturday, maybe 13:00 to like 23:00 GMT+0. Playing during the weekdays seems to be more tricky since I dunno when people are available, and it's 1,000 times more fun with 3 or more people.
>>56417003
>You should have said that earlier, I'm going to bed in like 15 minutes.
Aye, we should figure out what time a few of us could play during the week. I get off work around 10:00 GMT+0 and stay up time about 16:00.
>>56417725
I'd be available tomorrow, it'd just have to be a little earlier than right now, maybe an hour or so.
>>56417725
So, if it's from 13:00 to 23:00 GMT+0, then for GMT+3 it's from 16:00 to 2:00, right? Asking because timezones have always been confusing me for some reason :c
If yes, then it'll a perfect time for me on Friday and, maybe, Saturday as well.
>>56417512
I wish the majority of Russians was kind, because I actually see a lot of negativity almost everyday in my shithole. But I'm still happy to see kind Russians because to me they to be the best people in the world, probably, because you can talk about anything with them and they will always cheer you up, even by just saying something stupid.

>>56408374
Pretty good Pierre.
I knew what you were saying the whole time.
>>56406075
you definitely don't sound irish, but your accent isnt strong enough for me to know where you're from
-the i in still is a bit too long
-the end of gentile is like "teil", no e at the end
-the end in autumn is just an m sound, no n (could've been a mistake, you paused a bit)
-the vowel in Breathed is like an "ee" in teeth or meat, not like in breath
-vowel in brow is like an a, so bra-w
-your second t in distorted sound to much like like a d
>>56422262
that scandi really was shitty, sounded more like an old guy with a light scottish accent (except for the first part)
For german i guess you can have a go and let people correct you, it's probably got a more consistent system than English so it shouldnt be hard to learn
>>56423024
Yeah I agree.
Like I said, it was a shitty one.
I can't do scandi accents well and I can't do australian/kiwi accents.
Everything else I am passable at (excluding natives).
Southern (american) accent is an exception as I can do that 100% passably.
I've fooled some aussies with my english accent ironically, though I doubt I could any actual brits.
