Fun with Babelfish

Can you guess what language I translated it to (and back) in Babelfish?

James Dean dean, James
I knew any you meant
James you dean, said it all therefore cleans
And I knew my life can look all is good
If I can look at it in the silver screen

You are the low-down rebel if had once were
Since you did not have the cause
James you dean, said it all is very clean
And I knew my life can look all is good
If I can look at it in the silver screen

We will discuss a low-down bad refrigerator
You are just too cooling for the school
The sock hops, the soda water
The basketball and the automobile repair store
Obtains your only matter to violate all customs

James Dean, James Dean
Very hungry and is very thin
James you dean, said it all therefore cleans
And I knew my life can look all is good
If I can look at it in the silver screen

Young James Dean, in the screen
Wants to know perhaps who he is
Along has come Spyder and has carried off the rider
And brings him under the road to the eternal

James you dean, dean,
James bought its sight not to see

You too fast down to cannot live
Too is young down to cannot die
Goodbye
You will fast to live
Too will be young down to cannot die
Goodbye
-"James Dean" by the Eagles

I tried all of the Babelfish translations and didn't get your answer. :( I don't like games I can't win.

Ah. I added and then removed proper puncuation. Otherwise it was completely incoherent.

Poetry to prose to poetry again.
