Translations don't always work with machines

Somebody said something pretty funny about these machine translators.  I tried it but it didn't work out the way the commenter said.  It was "out of sight, out of mind" translated to Russian and back into English.  It came back into English from Russian supposedly as invisible maniac, which was pretty funny.  So, I tried a song by Freddy Fender called "Before the next teardrop falls" where he sings in Spanish and English.  Actually, the words don't exactly match up in the translator, but I know enough Spanish to know that the words in the actual song are equivalent.  So, I decided, why not just let the song play here and enjoy.
