Gumiho

Gumiho

A handsome man,
With many tails,
Lies to the one he loves,
And all for her liver,
Which he desires,
To live forever,
Without fear,
Of ending his own life.
His lovers own distress,
It means nothing,
He objects,
A fleeting glimpse of what life holds,
Beauty is truly the most hideous thing of all.

-PPM

구미호

잘 생긴 남자,많은 꼬리를 가진,
그가 사랑하는 사람에게 거짓말을하고,
그녀의 간 때문에,
이는 그가 욕망,
그래서 그는 영원히 살 수있는,
두려움없이,
자신의 삶의 결말의,
그의 연인 자신의 고통,
그것은 아무 의미,
그는 객체,
생활이 어떨지의 덧없는 엿볼,
아름다움은 정말 모두의 가장 끔찍한 일이다.

Abatwa

Abatwa

Tiny people,
In the grass
Riding on giant ants.

Don’t answer them directly,
If they ask about their size.
You must lie,
It just might be the last time
Anyone will see you alive.

They are sensitive,
About their size.
So, if you wound their ego
You’ll meet your end
At the tip of a poison arrow.

-PPM

Abatwa

Klein mense,
In die gras,
Ry op reuse miere.

Moenie hulle direk beantwoord nie,
As hulle vra oor hul grootte,
Jy moet lieg.
Of is dit dalk net die laaste keer wees,
Einigemand sal jou lewendig sien.

Hulle is sensitief oor hul grootte,
As jy hul ego wond,
U sal aan u einde voldoen,
Aan die punt van ‘n gifpyl.

-PPM




Nocnica

Nocnica

Before you go to bed at night,
Lock your door and
turn out the light.

To avoid a nightly visit,
From that terrible old hag
The Nocnica.

She takes pleasure
In sucking your soul out at night,
When you are snuggled up warm in your jammies.

She sneaks into your room,
Then sits on your chest
And slowly starts to digest your soul.

To keep the hag away at night
Lock the doors and shut them tight,
To keep the old hag away at night.

-PPM

Nocnica

Zanim pójdziesz spać w nocy,
Zamknij drzwi,
I wyłącz światło.

Aby uniknąć nocnej wizyty,
Od tej strasznej starej wiedźmy,
Nocnica.

Ona czerpie przyjemność,
Wysysając swoją duszę w nocy.
Kiedy jesteś przytulny ciepło w piżamie.

Ona zakrada się do twojego pokoju,
Potem siada na twojej klatce piersiowej,
A ona powoli zaczyna trawić twoja duszę.

Aby trzymać wiedźmy z daleka w nocy,
Musisz zachować swoje drzwi zamknięte napięty,
Aby powstrzymać tę okropną czarownicę.

-PPM



Huldra

Huldra 

Beautiful woman,
Enticing a man,
Into the forest again.

He doesn’t know
But he’ll soon regret,
Ever following the woman
That he just met.

It’s rather strange,
It’s really bizarre,
That he didn’t notice the alarmingly large tail behind her.

He should have been cautious,
Now he’ll soon be dead.
His soul will be taken
By the beautiful women
He was taken with.

-PPM

Huldra

Vakker dame,
Lokker en mann,
I skogen igjen.

Han vet ikke,
Men han vil snart angre,
At han noen gang fulgte kvinnen som han nettopp møtte.

Det er ganske rart,
Det er veldig bisart,
At han ikke la merke til den alarmerende stor hale etterfølgende bak henne.

Han skal ha vært forsiktig,
Nå vil han snart være død,
Hans sjel vil bli tatt,
Ved den vakre kvinnen,
At han var forelsket i.

-PPM



Leviathan

Leviathan

Leviathan of the deep blue sea,
You frighten all with your monstrous size.
Swallowing ships in one gulp
Never to be seen again,
It Makes people despise you.

-PPM

לויתן

לויתן של הים הכחול העמוק,
אתה להפחיד כל עם הגודל המפלצתי שלך.
בליעת אוניות בלגימה אחת,
לעולם לא להיראות שוב,
זה גורם לאנשים לבוז לך.

-PPM



Minhocao

Minhocao


The ground trembles,
The earth shakes,
Watch out!
There’s a giant snake!
It has tentacles protruding out of its mouth and the nose like that of a pig, it’s one ugly creature,
That you don’t want to see,
As the creature always brings substantial flooding!


-PPM

Minhocão


Os chão treme,
A terra treme!
Cuidado!
Há uma cobra gigante!
Com tentáculos saindo pela boca e nariz como o focinho de um porco,
É uma criatura feia,
Que você não quer ver,
Como a criatura sempre traz inundações substancial!

-PPM



Alan

Alan

Terrible creatures,
Why do you take a child of another?
When you know you are not the child’s mother.
The child will surely be confused when you try to feed him bird food!
You bird brain!

-PPM

Alan

Kakila-kilabot nilalang,
Bakit ka kumuha ng anak?
Kapag alam mong hindi ikaw ang ina ng bata.
Tiyak na malito ang bata kapag sinubukan mong pakainin siya ng pagkain ng ibon!
Ikaw utak ng ibon!

-PPM


Leyak

Leyak

Vile creature,
What have you done?
Stolen the child,
That someone holds dear.
Causing many to fear,
What you will you do
To the mother
Once you are done
Drinking her blood.

-PPM

Leyak

Makhluk keji,
Apa yang telah kau lakukan?
Anda mencuri anak itu,
Bahwa seseorang peduli tentang,
Menyebabkan banyak takut,
Apa yang akan kamu lakukan pada ibu,
Setelah Anda selesai,
Minum darah ibu.

-PPM



Popobawa

Popobawa

Scares all whom see it’s horrible head,
Large and disproportionately off
What strange and funny creatures
That live for the night.
Coming alive, when no humans are in sight it makes one wonder
What else lurks within the night.

-PPM

Popobawa

Kubwa popo kutoka Zanzibar,
Wote wanaoiona wanaogopa,
Ya kichwa chake kikubwa na macho makubwa,
Inatisha watu kurudi ndani ya nyumba zao,
Na inawafanya waogope kile usiku unashikilia.

-PPM

Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga

There is an old house,
In the woods.
Where a creepy old lady lives
Don’t go inside,
No matter how alluring her lies are,
Only death waits inside.

-PPM




Баба Яга

Есть старый дом,
В лесах,
Где жуткая старуха живет,
Не заходите в дом,
Неважно, насколько заманчива ее ложь,
Только смерть ждет внутри.

-PPM



Keiju

Keiju

Keiju on mushroom,
Sitting peacefully.
Snacking on the mushroom randomly,
Loving every moment of the sunny day
Loving living in peace and harmony,
Dancing singing and merrymaking Your life away!

-PPM

Keiju

Keiju istuu sienellä,
Istuen rauhallisesti,
Syöminen sieni satunnaisesti,
Rakastava jokaista aurinkoisen päivän hetkeä,
Rakastava elää rauhassa ja harmoniassa,
Tanssia, laulua, ja juhliminen, elämäsi pois!

Chuvash

Chuvash

You asked Allah
For wings to fly
So that you would not die,
At the hands of man.
Invisible when you want to be,
Flying free from mankind.
Take me to another time,
Far from this place.
To live free with you
With no consequence of time and space
And a place people can’t reach or trace.

-PPM

Çuvaş

Allah’a sordun
Kanatların uçması için
Böylece ölmeyeceksin
Erkeklerin elinden.
Görünmez olmak istediğinizde,
Erkeklerden uzaklara uçuyorsun.
Beni başka zamana götür,
Bu yerden uzak,
Sizinle özgür yaşamak için,
Zaman ve mekanın sonuçlarından,
Ve insanların ulaşamadığı veya izleyemediği bir yer.

-PPM



Banshee

Banshee

Banshee, banshee
Screams her wish
To have a dish
Of sweet, sweet fish
To soothe her rage.
Banshee banshee
She sees you
She waits silently
To pull you through
To the other side
Where those that have already passed you, live on.

-PPM

Banshee

Banshee, Banshee,
Scaoileann sí a mian,
Teastaíonn mias uaithi,
As milis, éisc milis,
A fearg a mhúchadh.
Banshee, Banshee, 
Feiceann sí thú,
Fanann sí go ciúin,
Chun tú a tharraingt,
Go dtí an taobh eile,
Sa chás go siúd a bhfuil pas faighte agat, beo ar.

Chuma

Чума

Внимавайте за жестоките стрели на Чума!
Тя удря тези наи1-недостои1ните,
Когато всички грешници са взети,
Затова просете вместо това,
Молете я да остане жива,
Освен ако не искате да умрете.

-PPM


Chuma

Watch out for Chuma’s cruel arrows,
She hits those most undeserving,
When all sinners are taken.
So beg instead,
Beg to stay alive,
Unless you want to die.

-PPM



Wendigo

Wendigo


Greed can kill,
The lowliest of men.
Turning them into cannibalistic madmen.
It comes from an intense passion to have everything.
They rise from the dead,
Death cannot stop them,
Nothing can.
They will stop at nothing to get,
What they want,
Your flesh.


-PPM

On a genie,
Because you might get what you wish.

Spring Heeled Jack

Spring Heeled Jack

Watch out, he’s on your back!
Ready to pounce,
Upon your unsuspecting head,
Watch out! Or you'll soon be dead!
Yes, he has a lot of gumption that Spring Heeled Jack,
He’s such a cad,
A rather unfriendly sort,
Not someone with whom you would want to cavort with.
He feeds off fear and fright,
And lingers in the eerie glow of the moonlight,
Waiting for victims to bash on the head!
Watch out, for Spring Heeled Jack,
He's got your back, and he's on the prowl waiting to attack innocent bystanders,
That awful, horrible Spring Heeled Jack!

พญานาค



Phaya naga



Crested fish of the other side,
Take me to your land of pride,
I want to leave peaceably,
With no more suffering or tragedy,
Magnificent crested fish,
Fly your sail,
Bring me there,
To your home,
Where I surely belong,
Oh, great crested fish of the great unknown.


-PPM

พญานาค 

ปลาหงอนของคัานอี่น ๆ,

พาฉันไปดัวย,
ฉันตัองการออกจากที่นี่,
ไม่มีความทุกข์หรือรศกนาฏกรรมอีกต่อไป,
พญานาค ,
พาฉันไปที่นั่น,
ถึงบ้านของคุณ,
สู่อาณาจักรอันยิ่งใหญ่ที่ไม่รู้จักบทกวี, 

พญานาค.

Lariosauro

Lariosauro

Lariosauro in the water,
By lake como,
And all the rich kids,
Pass him by in their boats.
Never wondering why,
He doesn’t come up to see them.
Yet, lariosauro doesn’t cry,
He swims up to the boats they ride in,
And nudges the boat ever so gently,
Hoping for a realization from someone that he’s there.
Lariosauro cries in the lake.
Is it a mistake?
That no one can find this giant water serpent in the lake?
Lauriosauro feels foolish,
He hopes for the day someone will find him.
So he will not be alone in Lake Como.

-PPM

Lariosauro

Lariosauro in acqua,
Sul lago di Como.
Tutti i bambini ricchi,
Lo passano nelle loro barche.
Non chiedendosi mai perché,
Non viene a vederli.
Tuttavia, Lariosauro non piange,
Nuota fino alle barche su cui viaggiano.
Si urta la barca con delicatezza 
Spera che qualcuno lo veda.
Lauriosauro piange nel lago.
È un errore?
Che nessuno può trovare questo gigantesco serpente d’acqua nel lago?
Lauriosauro si sente sciocco,
Spera per il giorno in cui qualcuno lo troverà.
Quindi non sarà solo sul Lago di Como.

-PPM



Neasaidh

Nessie

Nessie, nessie,
You’re wrong,
ya big galout,
You’re too big to hide,
However no one can find you,
Why do hide Nessie?
Where do you lay?
When you’re done for the day,
I’m tired of trying to figure out why,
You’re not there.

-PPM

Neasaidh

Neasaidh, Neasaidh
Tha thu a bhèisd
Ya mòr galoot
Tha thu ro mhòr airson falach
Ach, chan urrainn dha duine do lorg
Carson a tha thu a ‘falach Neasaidh?
Càite a bheil thu a ‘laighe?
Nuair a tha thu air a dhèanamh airson an latha,
Tha mi sgith de ‘feuchainn ri obraich a-mach carson,
Carson nach eil thu ann.
