I'm thinking this must be something that has been manually tweaked by someone on the Google translate team. Otherwise, how in the world does it pronounce it with the cadence of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme?

The commas give it the right rhythm I believe. I can only hear French though, maybe because I never heard the English version.

  • Yes, I added commas at the ends of a few lines, which cues the speech engine to create more appropriate intonation and natural pauses. But parts of the second half of the poem are still not so intelligible in English

    • Thanks for that. It worked. I cut/paste the words before I saw your post. It gets so jammed together that way that it is hard to understand. The commas made it easy to understand.
