Well, we were supposed to go to bed, but the footie's in O.T. I was tring to read the Swiss Anthem and translated it in Babelfish. Naturally, it didn't really compute. I then tried the first verse of the Star Spangled Banner, translating into French, then back into English. This is the result:
Can the word of Oh see you by the first light of the paddle
what so much proudly we hail with the last to shine of the twilight?
With which broad band and luminous holds the first role, by the perilous combat,
O' er the ramparts which we observed, let us run so much valiantly?
And the red gleam of rockets, the bombs bursting in air,
provided evidence by the night that our flag was always there.
Does the word of Oh make that banner however vague
O' er to hold the first role-spangled the ground of free and the house of facing?
