Literally translate a foreign language title or expression into English

[BurtWorm]

to see if someone else can figure out the title or expression in the original language. Don't say which language you're translating from, and don't say where your translated text comes from. This is probably easier than it sounds like it's going to be, but let's see if we have anything here to kill time with creatively.


Here's the first: The Pink Life

[geardaddy]

1. Pretty in Pink?

don't know which language though.

[BurtWorm]

27. I haven't looked at the clues. Yet. Is it something a magician would say?
