To those who use language tools like Google and babelfish, be aware of the pitfalls. Here is "Moonlight Shadow" translated from English to German and back again. I suppose if I had involved Japanese, the word "marijuana" would have appeared:
Latter that at all she saw that it
Away-created it by a Moonlightschatten
Exceeded on ensured and a warning away
Production by a Moonlightschatten
Lost in a river last Saturday night
Far away on the other side.
It was gotten caught in the middle in a hopeless fight
And it could not find
Like one by the trees does not press, which more whisper in the evening
Which sings is away-created by a Moonlightschatten
A Song ensures and a ensuring
Away-production all
Which it saw
Make a shade picture for rifle
Far away on the other side were by a Moonlightschatten.
It its do not shoot six time of a man at D run and it can to find like to press through
I to remain
I to pray
I see you in skies away
I to remain far
I to pray
I to see you in skies far away
Four in the morning in the morning the morning wegschaffen by moonlight shade
I to watch out your sight to form wegschaffen by moonlight shade
Star to be brightly in silvery night far away on D other side
Will you to come to speak to me this night however it to be able not to find like to press through
I to remain
I to pray
I to see you in skies far away
I to remain
I to pray
I to see you in skies far away
Far away at D other Side.
In one hundred and five the night was heavy gotten caught in the middle,
But air was alive, but it could not find, as one through
Away-production by a Moonlightschatten presses
Which was away-created, by a Moonlightschatten, to that, away on the other side is far.

Where the Falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak-trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
