I still don't know what to say.

We can only discuss what we know because we can't all be poets.

Thinking...

"Na raida yango? Na nihmoawa aneudu?"
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"

More: show
I bent the rules a little to fit the cadence, should technically be N'emde naraida yango? N'emde nanihmoawa aneudu? but the meaning is clear

Also, if anyone feels the content of Bohemian Rhapsody is not helpful for them, I'm happy to accept your veto on it. It was the first song that sprang to mind

Kac ina gwondon, no skep fwom raynis
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

Not the most surprising translation. Also, gwondon is a litteral landslide, I don't think it can be used figuratively.

boy-GEN-1P poor-1P, compassion-LOC-Ø-1P-ACC-not.need-1P
I'm (just) a poor boy, I need no sympathy.

Note that /io/ is one syllable, so the rhythm is preserved, though it's a bit awkward.

Mi tek gon set gen fi besa,
pul fo-mi twiga, nu im det

Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Don't have "trigger" in my dictionary, so used the litteral reflex. Fun fact: "gon" also means "apron". Hillarity ensues.
