For the last sentence, I suggest to use the verb "fly" instead.
"Easily fly with it"

Does one fly with the wind? I am not sure. I was hinking about the book "gone with the wind"

When I saw your translation, dear Jairhaas, I too was reminded of the book/film and I think it sounds nice but I am afraid that the meaning is: "borte med blæsten". Here I think that the meaning is more in line with "...easily carries with(or by)it".

Hi guys,
Looking at your suggestions I'm giving two options that sound well in English:
"The one who looks in the direction
in which the wind blows,
easily flies with it or is easily carried by it."

Which one conveys the original better?

Sorry, I should have seen that before: I think it should not be the word "easy" but "light" ( as light as a feather) Concequently, I vote for the following:"...flies lightly with it."

The danish word "let" means both "light" and "easy".

Hi Minny!
Should I edit the French version then? ("légèrement" instead of "facilement"?

Thanks!

Lene, Bamsa, could you also give your inputs?

I would say:

"Flyver let med den" -> "Flies easily with it"

I would say "is carried away by", that seems to me to be the intention. "Flies" is to active to convey that someone disappeared with the wind, which is more passive

Hi Jaihaas,
The danish text neighter says: Carried a w a y nor g o n e.

Finally, I go for: "...flies easily with it".

Thanks a lot Francky for your attention. I think we stay with "facilement".

:-)

OK, Minny
I'll edit with "flies easily with it" and validate, but I wonder why you ask for all these translations when it seems that you are able to do them better.

Dear Lilian,
Living in Germany, I am not really "in touch" with the english language and therefore very unsecure about it. I prefer to have it checked by an expert.
I love the cucumis community. I think you are a role model. :-)

Thanks for your praise

What I meant is that sometimes, to do a perfect translation (making the correct choice of words), it is more important to know the exact meaning of a text in the source language than even being native of the target.
I suggest you have a try, besides, your translations will always be checked by an expert
