candy brain gen.

[leilyina]

Друзья, подкиньте идеи, как перевести выражение "candy brain".

Перевожу песню Sweet Sixteen. Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:
"Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in."
Перевод претендует на литературно-поэтический. Т.е. переводы типа "сладкий/сахарный мозг" и прочие не подходят.

Для меня "candy brain" - приманка, учитывая историю создания текста, но это не совсем подходит по стилю произведения, которое я собираюсь создать.

I tried to make sense of this, and couldn't. So I searched online, and no-one on the web seems to know either -- including this person (search down for 'candy brain').

Maybe Idol was on drugs when he wrote it? It could be that only he knew, and that he took it to his grave. So you've got a very difficult translation job there! Unless others have some ideas....

Re-versed Brain Candy - "жвачка для ума".

"ум для жвачки" тогда?

[johnstephenson]

Both: Could be.... "ум ИЗ звачки", perhaps???

[wow2]

could be, could be...

Жив он, жив

Alive again?!? God, that man's made a FANTASTIC recovery!!! You're right, he's not dead at all. I thought he'd killed himself on drugs. Maybe someone should phone him and ask him what his lyrics mean?

Failing that, you could try his Twitter or Facebook pages:
