Everybody always looks like every body!
Bemærkninger til oversættelsen
BE AWARE! This is a translation of a Swedish word juggler, language equilibrist, Tage Danielson.
'Var och en' = "Everybody"/"Everyone"
'lik' = "body"/"corpse"/"to look like"/"resembles"
"Every body" = 'varenda kropp'
'kropp'='lik'="corpse"="body"

Please try another translation I you feel that you can transform the linguistic joke in a better way!!!

I don't understand the meaning of the sentence - without the pun, what is the actual meaning?

It is almost impossible to say.

The Swedish word for "look like", "to resemble" is 'lik', which also mean "body" or "corpse", which is the essence of this joke. "Everybody" could be translated as 'var och en', therefore I have tried to transform the saying with emphasis on this pair of words: "Everybody-every body".

i.e. We all look like all of us.

(There aren't any known translations of the author, which is understandable.)

Any other suggestions are very welcome!

Damn. I'm not sure what to do with this - it's meaningless in English, and it's not funny, either.

Literally, the two meanings are, if I understand you correctly:

We all resemble each other.
We all look like a corpse.

What's "är sig alltid"? I would like to see what we can do with this, but I need to thoroughly understand the meaning(s) of the original and why it's funny.

Hi All

It could also be "everyone searches like a corpse".

I think it should be validated as it is, as there is no real possibility of instilling any real/particular meaning in English.

Puns and jokes are even harder to translate than poetry.
