The career of our play brought us through the dark muddy lanes behind the houses where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from the
cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens where odours arose from the ashpits, to the dark odorous stables where a coachman smoothed and combed the horse or shook music from
the buckled harness.

That's James Joyce for you... His short story 'Araby'. I'm not a fan either...

I don't think this is breaking any rules. I also don't think it will get translated though, unless we have a Turkish fan among our members!

OK, but I think the second part should be completed to make sense.

"We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop- boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs' cheeks, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land."

Anyway...good luck to the translator!

Hi mercandede,

You don't have enough points to submit this request, that's why it's still in standby.
In order to release it, I'll remove the second part and when you get points again (a week from now) you may send the complete paragraph I posted, OK?
So far that's the best we can do.

What is the play in this context? And what are the rough tribes? I understand everything else, but I have to admit I don't know Joyce at all.

OK - here's my translation from English into English:

As we were running around playing wildly, we went through the dark muddy lanes behind the houses where we had to zig-zag back and forth to avoid the nasty poor people from the little village houses, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens where odours arose from the fire pits, to the dark odorous stables where a coachman smoothed and combed the horse or shook the buckled harness, making the harness bells ring.

Note: for an English harness, here's a webpage with a nice picture: http://sixsongs.blogspot.com/2008/12/jingle-bells-sleigh-ride.html

Hi Mercan

I guess it means that the gardens are tall and thick with plants that are dripping sap. It's dark because the plants are so thick in there that you can't see the sun if you're under them.
