You didn't translate, you transliterated.

I'd tell you what I know, but it's only two words and I think it's not worth it. Someone with fluency will come in eventually.

or if you see something else, they're just lines.

Now all you have to do is translate it from Engrish and you should be good.

never use babelfish for japanese translations

because katakana can be foreign words, a person's name, or just a company name/sign

while hiragana as the exact same character SOUNDS can only usually mean actual japanese text, words, etc.

i.e.

と二つ

tonitsu

could mean something like, (making up a name) "Tonies-Two", or it could mean "Toe-Nitsu", a place, or it could mean an actual japanese word

etc.

Actually, 二つ is futatsu, meaning "two". The と is just a particle indicating that the phrase before it is a "quote".

To me, it looks like a bunch of nonsense, but maybe I'm just reading it incorrectly. Or just me really sucking at translating. Oh, and fyi, translating japanese SUCKS without context,　since japanese is the most vague, context-driven language out there.

Edit - Here's the full romaji, though:
wari to chikaku ni inagara nakanaka karamu kikai no nakatta (to aru hou) ni "gassaku seihen?"
to o'denwa wo itadaki, yaru yaru-, to futatsu henji shitemimashita.
tanoshikatta naa

Edit 2: Some guess work in here, hopefully someone else can provide something better later, but maybe this'll tide you over for now:
Recently, during times when I'm not involved elsewhere, I'd receive a phone call saying, "let's do a collab?", and so I'd reply twice "I'll do it, I'll do it."
That was fun, wasn't it?
