Lass mich fallen
Text
Tillagd av Freya
Källspråk: Tyska

Dein Schatten liegt noch über mir
Wie der Schnee, unschuldig, weiß
Dein Duft, er ist noch immer hier
Und drückt mir die Kehle zu

Lass mich noch einmal an dich glauben
In deine Augen sehen
Und dann laß mich fallen
Bevor wir beide untergehen

In deinen Augen lag die Wahrheit
An deinen Lippen nur der Tod
In dieser Nacht gewann ich Klarheit
Ãœber den Weg der vor mir liegt.
Anmärkningar avseende översättningen
A song of the Austrian band L'Âme Immortelle.
British English.

Let me fall

Språket som det ska översättas till: Engelska

Your shadow still lingers above me
Like snow, innocent, white
Your scent, it is still here
And squeezes my throat

Let me believe in you once more
let me look into your eyes
And then let me fall
Before we both go down

In your eyes lay the truth
On your lips only death
Tonight I gained clarity
On the road that lies before me
Anmärkningar avseende översättningen
On the road that lies before me -> meaning 'about the road that lies before me'

Thank you!

I will request soon more translations of this band's songs. The German songs aren't translated on their official site, unfortunately.

Me again, nothing to do with this translation, no worries.

I am sure it's better to stop at this song and use Google translator in the future for this type of texts. Songs are usually well translated with Google. This one only had a few flaws and before submitting it I also checked if there were any translations online. I found only one and not so clear either.

So, I reached the conclusion that it's pointless to give extra unnecessary work to the English experts who already have plenty to do here every day for us.

Thanks again for translating.

Regards ,

F.

Hi biancam

The English looks fine; I have set a poll to get other people's input about the translation.

A few small questions from me:


And shakes my throat -> shouldn't this be 'and squeezes my throat'?

To look into your eyes -> shouldn't this be 'let me ook into your eyes'?

In your eyes lies the truth -> I think this should be 'lay'.
On your lips only death

On the road that lies before me -> This sounds better than 'about the road' but that is the meaning you have in mind, isn't it? Would it be ok if I put this in the comment field, to make it a bit clearer?
Let me know what you think!

Google translator gives a translation that is in many places similar, but I think this translation does look better than what Google produces

Dear Lein,
This is from Google translator:

"Your shadow is still on me
As the snow, innocent, white
My Darling, he is still here
And shakes my throat

Let me once again believe in you
See it in your eyes
And then let me fall
Before we both go down

In your eyes, lay the truth
On your lips only death
That night I gained clarity
On the road that lies before me."

Sorry, I did log in but I didn't have time to reply yesterday.

And no, this isn't a google translation athough I did use google and an online dictionary for the terms I didn't know ( are not alowed to do that?)


As for the edits,Lein you're right about "squeezes" in stead of "shakes". When I made the translation I just coulnd't remember the word for it in english so I used the one I found online.


I guess "let me look into your eyes" sounds better.I wasn't sure if this sentence was part of the the first("Let me believe in you once more"so I just translated it as an infinitive.

And as far as I know both "lies" and "lay" can be used here. Don't they have the same meaning?

Again,sorry for the delay in answering

OK, no worries

Yes, it is allowed to use dictionaries and the like, both online and off line, as long as you do the translation yourself, which you did.

'Lies' = present; 'lay' = past tense


Merdogan, yes, that is what I got too when I used Google to check your comment. Some sentences are the same - probably because that is just the most direct translation. .Occasionally, Google gets it right
However, where Google gets it wrong, Bianca got it right, which is all the difference between a human and a machine translation

Sorry, I was mistaken about the tense from the verb "liegen" and I said something erroneous, so I erased it.

Oh, and just one more to clarify for Bianca - I realised I gave only half an answer

'to lie' - past tense: lay - this is when something lies (a passive verb - eg the dog lies in the street)
'to lay' - past tense: laid - this is when you put something somewhere: I will lay the book on the table.

I hope this is clear

Yes now it's very clear. Thanks a lot for explaining this, I've always had problems differentiating these too verbs :P
They're complicated cause they have similar forms and meanings, but I think I understand now
Thanks
