seeking translation from Jamaican patois

lnelson

I'm doing some research for an article on dancehall music and need a Standard English translation from the Jamaica patois.

The story is about extreme anti-gay lyrics in some dancehall music, and what I'm looking to have translated is pretty offensive. I'd rather not put it up here. If you can help or can direct me to someone who can, please note in this thread or PM me.

Thanks.

It is too bad Babbelfish hasn't bothered with patois yet........

send me a msg. I can do it... The words don't translate exactly though. They will loose some of the harshness in translation...

Send it to me. I can translate it for you, and provide context for what is deemed Jamaican anti-gay rhetoric.
