Do you ever get kind of miffed about language barriers? (hexbear.net)

So many songs I'd like to share with people who speak different languages as I figure they'd be super into it but it just doesn't hit the same with the language barrier

All. The. Fucking. Time.

My partner is a native English speaker, and I am not. They are sloooooowly working towards learning my language but they are nowhere near being fluent enough to share most cultural things I enjoy, like music, and it's really, really, hard to get them to enjoy things when they have to be translated or at least explained some times.

Conversely, we (native speaker friends and I) always have a great laugh translating shitty stuff like the beattles around the campfire.
