How is this pronounced? How many syllables does it have?

I pronounce it "meer meer meer lok a poo a oom pa". In other words, nine syllables.

Did anybody manage to translate it into English?

That post above was not written by me - I guess I didn't see it back in January. (I would intuitively pronounce that phrase with twelve syllables, and I would have used X-SAMPA.)
