pa-rum-pa-pum-pum | Remarks about the translation | The rhythm isn't exactly the same, but this is the only phrase I know of in English to convey the sound of the drum. |

düm tek tek
As we don't translate isolated words I guess we also shouldn't translate onomatopoeia. | | |
2 February 2009 07:43 | | | The reason why we don't translate individual words is that they can be found in a dictionary, but onomatopoeia cannot, so I don't see why we shouldn't translate it if it's translatable.
Francky, what do you think?

2 February 2009 07:45 | | | P.S. The English name for the song is irrelevant in this case, as it's not a translation of the Turkish name. | | |
