Hwe ngoho, wawa i ho!

I want to like conlanging again just in order to like anything at all.

Na i zinye mbo ze mu zyu na i nge mya.
I still don't know what to say.

I want to say more interesting things than this.

Zyo nga i nye a ze bomu gwe ze zyebomu.
My head is neither interesting nor interested right now.

Irnim...
Thinking...

"Na raida yango? Na nihmoawa aneudu?"
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"

More: show
I bent the rules a little to fit the cadence, should technically be N'emde naraida yango? N'emde nanihmoawa aneudu? but the meaning is clear

Also, if anyone feels the content of Bohemian Rhapsody is not helpful for them, I'm happy to accept your veto on it. It was the first song that sprang to mind

Kac ina gwondon, no skep fwom raynis
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

Not the most surprising translation. Also, gwondon is a litteral landslide, I don't think it can be used figuratively.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

Just one syllable off...and I was able to keep it grammatical.

Tapo pupebo, wompombopapopio.
boy-GEN-1P poor-1P, compassion-LOC-Ø-1P-ACC-not.need-1P
I'm (just) a poor boy, I need no sympathy.

Note that /io/ is one syllable, so the rhythm is preserved, though it's a bit awkward.

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

I struggled with "not really", now it says "really not".

Mi tek gon set gen fi besa,
pul fo-mi twiga, nu im det

Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

Don't have "trigger" in my dictionary, so used the litteral reflex. Fun fact: "gon" also means "apron". Hillarity ensues.

Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
