Hi!

"Set fire to whatever is burning you"

Can it be translated as "Add fire to whatever is burning you"?
Djenebi translated it like that and I wanted to check if I have to edit her translation or leave it as it is...

Dear maki, I am afraid I don't understand what add fire means...the literal translation (word by word) is "put fire to". It's a phrase from a song "set fire to/burn whatever is burning you, whatever is eating your soul" meaning "destroy what destroys you". In English I think we should say "set fire to". Maybe in Serbian the word is "add" (literally, in Greek we say "put fire", do you say "add fire" to convey the meaning of "burn smt" ? ).

I meant literally "to add" fire (because it's already burning). That is how djenebi translated the text.
I'll edit into "set fire to/burn".

Thanks a lot!
