| | Well, I had a problem with tenses here, as usual...
In Polish source it seems to be Praesent Continuous...- everywhere |

| | The sunlight penetrates through the Earth -
Cold Mother of Beauty
Life-bringing rays
Warm wet roots
Stalks dance lithely
They quickly bear leaves
They spill over with lush greenery
With fragrant blossoms
In the mountains of Thy majesty
Every creation leads us
to ADORATION
of Thy generosity |

| | P.S. I really like this one - it speaks to me. |
| | 19 rujan 2009 20:59 |
| | To me too... Thank you, dear!
The meaning was conveyed in 100 percent! And "lithely"! I was looking for the accurate word and this is the best! The same with "lush"...
"Every creation leads us
to ADORATION
of Thy generosity"
You have changed the meaning here a bit, but I suppose that it is still close to my feeling...
Thank you!!!
And what will Lilly say? |
| | 19 rujan 2009 21:06 |
| | I didn't understand how "creation" can "preach" - I took this part to mean that when we look at the beauty that God has created, it forces us to appreciate His generosity. Is that what you meant? |
| | 19 rujan 2009 21:13 |
| | It was only a metaphor... |

| | Ania has also translated the poem (maybe even before me), so we can think about her version too.
The light penetrates the Earth
- the cold Mother of Beauty.
The Life-giving streaks
Warm up the soggy roots
The stems are dancing flexibly.
swiftly giving birth to the leaves
Being covered with verdure
and blossoming fragrantly.
In the mountains of Your Majesty
All creation
Proclaims admiration of
Your Generosity
Thank you, Ania! |

| | I'm glad. For me too |
| | 21 rujan 2009 07:40 |
| | But, what's better?
"I adore Thee" or "I worship Thee"?
|
| | 21 rujan 2009 16:33 |
| | They're both OK. BTW, Aneta, if you want the translator to work on the title, it should be in the translation field too. Otherwise she doesn't get credit for it. Of course, in this case YOU are the translator! |
| | 21 rujan 2009 16:43 |
| | Oh! I didn't know about it! Thank you!
But "adore" can be used also to people, while
"worship" only to God, am I right? |
| | 22 rujan 2009 03:38 |
| | Yes, basically, but when you use "Thee", it's clear that it's about God. |

| | I have already edited the translation. Could you check it now, dear Laura? |
| | 18 listopad 2009 18:31 |
| | I've made a few small changes (start --> begin to, the Creator God --> God the Creator) and I'll accept this if iluvmilka and one or two others say it's OK.
The problem is, how do I rate this, since you initially translated it yourself, but the current version is a conglomeration of your version, ania's version, and my corrections??? CC: lilian canale |
| | 18 listopad 2009 18:58 |
| | If you are asking what I would do, I'd say that IMO it would be fair accepting it with no rating. |
| | 18 listopad 2009 19:36 |
| | Ah yes - I forgot about that option - thanks, Lilian. |
