    Default Translate, re-translate...

    Might be a little hard to explain. Put some words into google translate, (like lyrics are a bit of a speech) So it's English first, then any language you want to put it into, then back into english again.

    English:
    (Radio)

    I'd sit alone and watch your light
    My only friend through teenage nights
    And everything I had to know
    I heard it on my radio
    (Radio)

    You gave them all those old time stars
    Through wars of worlds -- invaded by Mars
    You made 'em laugh -- you made 'em cry
    You made us feel like we could fly

    So don't become some background noise
    A backdrop for the girls and boys
    Who just don't know or just don't care
    And just complain when you're not there
    You had your time, you had the power
    You've yet to have your finest hour
    (Radio)

    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio goo goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio what's new?
    Radio, someone still loves you!

    We watch the shows -- we watch the stars
    On videos for hours and hours
    We hardly need to use our ears
    How music changes through the years

    Let's hope you never leave old friend
    Like all good things on you we depend
    So stick around cos we might miss you
    When we grow tired of all this visual
    You had your time, you had the power
    You've yet to have your finest hour
    (Radio)

    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio goo goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio goo goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio what's new?
    Someone still loves you!

    You had your time, you had the power
    You've yet to have your finest hour

    (Radio)

    Já sám bych sedět a sledovat vaše světlo
    Můj jediný přítel přes dospívání nocí
    A všechno, co jsem měl vědět
    Slyšel jsem, že to z mé rádio
    (Radio)

    Ty jim dal všechny ty staré doby hvězdy
    Prostřednictvím válek světů - vtrhli do Marsu
    Nacházíte se 'em smát - jste' em plakat
    Ty z nás pocit, že jsme mohli létat

    Takže nestaly nějaké pozadí
    A pozadí pro dívky a chlapce
    Kdo prostě neznají, nebo jen don't care
    A jen si stěžují, když nejste zde
    Měl jste své doby, které jste měli moc
    Vy jste ještě váš nejlepší hodinu
    (Radio)

    Všichni jsme slyšeli, je Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    Všichni jsme slyšeli, je Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio, co je nového?
    Rádio, někdo stále miluje!

    Sledujeme výstavách - budeme dívat na hvězdy
    Na videa hodiny a hodiny
    Jsme skoro nutnost využít naše uši
    Jak hudbu změny postupem let

    Doufejme, že nikdy opustit starý přítel
    Podobně jako všechny dobré věci na vás záleží
    Takže držet kolem cos bychom mohli chybět
    Když jsme unaveni růst všech těchto vizuálních
    Měl jste své doby, které jste měli moc
    Vy jste ještě váš nejlepší hodinu
    (Radio)

    Všichni jsme slyšeli, je Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    Všichni jsme slyšeli, je Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    Všichni jsme slyšeli, je Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio, co je nového?
    Někdo stále miluje!

    Měl jste své doby, které jste měli moc
    Vy jste ještě váš nejlepší hodinu

    English (Re-translated):
    (Radio)

    I myself would like to sit and watch your light
    My only friend through teenage nights
    And everything I need to know
    I heard it on my radio
    (Radio)

    You gave them all those old time stars
    Through wars worlds - invaded by Mars
    You are 'em laugh - you have' em cry
    Those of us feel that we could fly

    So do not become a background
    A background for girls and boys
    Who simply do not know, or do not care
    And just complain when you're here
    You had your time, you had the power
    You have your best time
    (Radio)

    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio, what's new?
    Radio, someone still loves you!

    We watch shows - we will look at the stars
    In the hours and hours of video
    We almost need to use our ears
    As music changes over the years

    Hopefully, never to leave an old friend
    Like all good things to you,
    So stick around cos we might miss
    When we grow tired of all these visual
    You had your time, you had the power
    You have your best time
    (Radio)

    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio Goo Goo
    Radio ga ga
    All we hear is Radio ga ga
    Radio blah blah
    Radio, what's new?
    Someone still loves you!

    You had your time, you had the power
    You have your best time

    It isn't much, but it works, and it's funny sometimes.

    Yeah, this is because these translating sites are not 100% accurate. They couldn't be.

    I think you'll get the best results by translating into Chinese or Japanese first.

    I just sit and watch the light of your
    Only 10 of my friends through their night
    And all I knew
    I heard it on the radio
    (Radio)

    Gave all these old time stars
    Through World War - a Martian invasion
    You laugh a day - are you crying,
    We feel it on the fly as follows:

    Do not have some background noise, so
    Background for boys and girls
    Not only do not know about?
    Only if the appeal is not
    If you have time, the power
    And the time your best yet
    (Radio)

    Georgia Georgia We are listening to the radio
    Radio blah blah
    What's new radio?

    I had to giggle at the 'Martian invasion' line.
