      Could you translate it please. (I can translate it word by word, but only to be sure)

      Oh, it's just the lyrics from the Village People's 'YMCA'. I actually just used google translate, which does a poor job for Latin translation. It didn't even try to translate 'fun', for some reason, so I chose 'suavis', which is apparently more like 'pleasant'.

      *an abysmal

      The people of /r/Latin have requested that people seeking translations avoid Google Translate altogether and instead come directly to them for help.
