The lyrics to the "Bingo" song are as follows:
"There was a farmer had a dog, And Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O! B-I-N-G-O! B-I-N-G-O! And Bingo was his name-o!" I realize this is an odd request, but could any of you translate this song into Latin? 10 points for the best translation! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Agricola qui canem tenuit fuit,
et Bingo suum namen fuit. B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O et Bingo suum namen fuit. I translated "And Bingo was his name" literally, however, you can also say "et is 'Bingo' est appellatus." -- And he was called "Bingo." (not sure if the "is" is necessary in this instance, but I put it there). Not sure if this is perfectly translated, but I've tried ;-) If anyone has any changes, feel free to comment :) P.S. It doesn't really rhyme well in Latin though ;-) Edited by jae on 05 August 2010 at 3:18am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Perhaps changing "farmer" to "man" would help in scan better -- agricola has two many syllables for my liking....
