Guidebooks for tourists will teach you how to ask where the bathroom is and how to order a beer, but what if you are a RAW fan and you want to know how to say, "Keep the lasagna flying?"
Rasa, who runs Hilaritas Press and other operations of the Robert Anton Wilson Trust for Christina Pearson, has filled that gap by compiling a list of how to say that phrase in many different languages. Here is his latest compilation:

Wow! Did I really say that?
Croatian translation requires correction: more accurate would be "Neka lazanja leti." or "Odrzavajte lazanju u letu."
Because "drzite" means "to hold" ; therefore it would appear lazanja could not actually fly if we are holding it. It seems to me "Keep the lasagna flying" requires constant movement and duration.
(Sorry, maybe this was unnecessary contact and you can charge me with a flagrant foul. Been watching a lot of basketball lately.)
Happy Walpurgisnacht!
Thanks Branka. I updated my list.
I thought that was a pretty good AI picture, until I noticed that the lasagna is going through the plate!
Other versions in French (yes I had AI help)
Que la lasagne continue de voler !
Ne lâche rien, la lasagne doit continuer de voler !
("Don't give up — the lasagna must keep flying!")
· Continue à faire voler la lasagne !
(“Keep making the lasagna fly!” – a bit more active)
· · Que la lasagne prenne son envol !
(“May the lasagna take flight!” – poetic or whimsical)
· · Ne laisse pas la lasagne retomber !
(“Don’t let the lasagna fall back down!” – metaphorical/motivational)
· · La lasagne doit rester dans les airs !
(“The lasagna must stay in the air!” – declarative and quirky)
Hmm, T-shirt with this on: Ne lâche rien, la lasagne doit continuer de voler !would be good. The French would probably think it Dadaist.
Tony, your first variation I would translate as "may the lasagna keep on flying", which has a solemn, almost mystical tone to it, as in "may the circle be unbroken", "may the road rise up to meet you", or "may your camel never loses its hump".
"Ne lâche rien" has this lefty, solidarity among the oppressed, ring to it ("on lâche rien", meaning let's not give up, is a common rally cry at protests).
Makes it sound like Marx himself wrote about it in his magnus opus Dialectics of the Lasagna, and us comrades from the First Lasagna International have to keep it flying by fighting the pigs out in the streets. So maybe Situationist more than Dada.
"Under the paving stones, the lasagna!"
