Now, I don't want to be the asshole that shits on a nearly 40 year old classic movie... but why would the Goonies' map, written in Spanish, rhyme when translated to English? And why would it translate into "Olde English" with a bunch of "ye" this and "ye" that?
Also "ye" in olde English is just pronounced the. It's wasn't a y it was used for the letter thorn which made the th sound. They never said ye. So there's no way the Spanish would translate to fake old english
It's called "thorn"
you mean yorn
þorn
