he following is the last two lines of Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan translated into Korean and back again: _But B, me we will ask always and identically we feel and from the viewpoint which is different it ', us only it sees yet in hazard road Headin, to Ung height we do a different combination inside comfort green onion Rang and and._ ? ! Of course! I understand now! ETA: I got to thinking that it might not be within the “spirit of the game” to babelfish Dylan lyrics seeing as it often seems like he has already run his lyrics through one of these programs once before he recorded them. ---
