Those nauseating lyrics (that left him feeling queasy) Explanation: > texten might be relay-translatable into Spanish, not so much intuitively as 'texto', but as 'la letra que se sienta mal'.

Note that I had to search a while for a Spanish song with the lyrics of 'se sienta mal', but without a string of swear-words Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +1The poorly lyrics Explanation: "The poorly lyrics hit him hard. These lyrics are really feeling bad." I think we need to accept that the author is actually ascribing the feelings to the text itself, as if it were a sentient being. |
