Думаю, он предлагает Оле послушать то, что она не любит слушать. Это такая китайская пытка.

Если это так, у меня больше вопросы нет.))

The lyrics of the song are such that they indirectly ask her to remit my alleged offenses so that we can go on loving each other.

O, I turned it off after 10 seconds.

Sorry, but:
It looks like just a набор слов и символов im my browser and not like a link.
If it's a 'link' on some clip(это так пишется по-английски? ), so I don't open any clips on the Internet. I am greedy and I save my traffic.

Товарищ Блохин!

I know this thread is wicked old (there's some Boston slang for you), I found it through a search for something, but I wanted to respond to dogboy's post.

1) Canadians do talk funny. Ask the French.
2) The ChicAAgo area, midwest, do have a nasal tone. Especially in MilwAUkee.

But as to New Yorkers (being one)...as I walk down the streets of our wonderful city perfectly located in the center of the universe (don't deny it ) I can say this:

I recognize accents ranging from "What are y'all fixin' to do tonight" to "Where the !@#$%^&*() is that !@#$%^&*() train! It's always !@#$%^&*() late!"

Now to the point of my response: as I do this, coffee is not caaffee. It's cawfee. Dog is dawg. And for some reason fog and log are said with long a's (at least as I say them). Water is wawter (or warter). On almost any corner you can awrder a hot dawg.

Though it is a huge pet peeve when people say soder instead of soda.

Then you get to Brooklyn and I'm pretty sure they have their own language out there.

English is a mess but at least we have one verb "to go."
