It could be "I wish you to love me for one day". But I don't believe it is...

I really think it's high time for this translation to be verified. How much longer it will linger?

Hi ViaLuminosa

It will linger no longer!!

Sorry it took so long (we have 130 odd evaluations to deal with in English )

This looks good, I like both of your suggestions, why not paste your alternative in the comments box?

I'll have to poll 'cos I don't speak Russian a part maybe from "Spassiba" (hope that's right

No problem, Tantine. Oh, it's good when an expert has a work to do...

I want you to love me for a day...(corrected)

I hope you will love me one day - я надеюсь вы полюбите меня на один день.

Hmmm...
*"I want you love me for a day..."
is not correct grammar in English, and
"I wish you would love me one day."
needs a "for," i.e.
I wish you would love me for one day.
if it means
...only for one day.

But if it means
...someday.
in order to make it correct English, I think we have to change the auxiliary verb to "could":
I wish you could love me someday.

ViaLuminosa, what do you think the meaning is here?

"I wish you to love me for one day"
This is word-for-word translation.
If the grammar is correct it should be that

The context is very clear, as for me...
I wish you to love me for one day, the key word here is "желаю" - "wish".
Maybe nurlocas hasn't expressed clearly what she want to say but it's her fault.

The analogue in Bulgarian is "I wish you to love me someday". I don't believe the connotation to be "...for one day", cause this would have another lexical form in Russian, as Siberia suggested. "Wish you" pertains to the receiver, not the speaker, like in "wish you happiness".

Hi All

Maybe "I hope one day (that) you will love me"

I have put "that" in inverted commas because it may be superfluous.

What do you all think?

No, Tantine, this has nothing to do with the text. The speaker addresses a wish to the receiver, as we do when congratulating birthday for instance. The verb "wish" is in sense "to wish smb. smth." and not "to wish myself/desire/hope for smth."
A woman extends her wishes to a man on unknown occasion.

Maybe it better be "I wish you loving me someday". :-P

Yes, arcobaleno, this was my first suggestion. But we digressed seeking non-existing meanings and little by little the whole idea of this small line was twisted...
And it's so simple, after all - a woman provokes a man by wishing him loving her in some moment in the future. That's the philosophy...

Ok

I think we should go for "I wish you to love me one day"

This is like casting a wish, if I have correctly understood now? So I think that I can validate with no problem as it stands?

Hmmm..Both Siberia and RainnSaw seem to be native Russian speakers (and the latter is even an Expert in it), and their messages above seem to say that the meaning is
...for one day
as in, (even) for a single day.
They don't seem to agree with the
...someday
interpretation?
Or am I misunderstanding their messages above?
Hmmm...

Yes, it could be that, I mentioned it above. But it's not clear whether it is or not...
