I've been playing with the Jay Word poem. I wondered what might happen when I fed it through the Google Translate service, and now I know. What strikes me as particularly interesting is the little changes which then become big shifts in meaning through later translations. If I were very clever I might even be tempted to express that as a graph. But I'm not, so I won't.

Just so you know, the poem was mashed up through Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Greek and Russian translation engines.

The original English version is included for reference, at the start.

I’d fumbled fat fingered on the words
Sentences falling flat, spent and clumsy
Confessions of drunken letters misarranged
Blunted by effort to pen the way you filled me
Dirty mouthed and lipped like an angel
And you alone, the one bright chord
In a world filled with smokey pointless chatter
And bars filled with faces that almost look like yours
Till sixteen suits blew glittering horns
And poured their sweet discord down on me
Like stars emptying their secrets
So everything before the coda just became
The sound of stray cats tuning to a minor key
You. And they reset the clock
Both opened the door into colour
I get it now
Finally found that word
Your name is Jazz

I fumbled for the words mean
Serving fell flat, flowers and clumsy
Confession drunken letters misarranged
Weak efforts by the T Road, I had your fill
Dirty mouth and lips like angels
And you, there is a bright spot Chord
In a world filled with meaningless smokey Chatter
And bars full face almost like you
Up to 16 suits detonated glittering horns
The sweet and devoted disharmony, I
Like stars emptying their secret
So everything has just become a coda
Sound stray cat tuned to a minor key
Your. They re-set the clock
We opened the door and entered Color
I get it now
They finally found the word
Your name is jazz

I am sensitive to the words mean
Service fell flat, and flowers and senseless
Recognition drunk messages misarranged
Weak efforts R. road, I had your fill
The dirty mouth and lips like angels
And you, there is a bright spot rope
In a world filled with meaningless chatter smokey
Bars full face almost like you
Up to 16 suits dawn Radiance centuries
Sweet and devoted the disagreement, and I
Stars such as emptying their secret
So everything becomes just conclusion
Salim lost cat seizure to a minor key
Your account. They re-define pm
We opened the door and entered Color
Get it now
Finally, she found the word
Your name is jazz

I am acutely aware of the meaning of the word
Services fallen flat, flowers and preposterous
Recognition drunk message misarranged
Weak Republican efforts road, I will fill you
Dirty angelic mouth and lips
And you are a bright spot rope
The world filled with meaningless chatter Smokey
You look almost completely bar
Up to 16 suits centuries dawn glow

Stars like their secret emissions
All conclusion become only

We opened the door and color input

At dawn, and 16 costumes centuries lighting
In sweets, and they differ, and I
