Delegated for the protection of the world against humanity, think before you give a judgement. It does not belong to you, however it is called your world |

Latest messages | | | | | 8 June 2006 14:39 | | | I'm not a native English speaker, and I cannot understand this English translation. it has no sense, expecially "think before you fallin its judgement". what do you think about it? | | | 9 June 2006 07:39 | | | | | | 9 June 2006 22:07 | | RumoNumber of messages: 220 | Of course. "Entsandt (zu)" means "Sent out/dispatched/delegated (for)", not "remember" (and in my dictionaries, it says "protection from/against", not "before", but these are details for native speakers...). "Denken" means "think", "nachdenken" ( imp.: "denk nach" ) means rather "cogitate/consider", I don't know if you can also say "think" in this case. "Ein Urteil fällen" is a phrase that can't be translated word-by-word into English (would be: "to fell a judgement" ), it means "to give a judgement/to pass a sentence". The second sentence is OK (the "however" belongs to the second part of the sentence).
By the way, I'm still interested in the right German version. Luccaro, do you know the interpret and/or name of that song, perhaps we can find it in the internet? | | | 10 June 2006 08:04 | | | hi Rumo!
it was quite easy, using Google. it should be the song "Deine Welt" by "E nomine"; look this page. our text should be:
Sie wird kommen, Armageddon genannt,
der Welt zum Schutz vor der Menschheit entsannt,
denk nach bevor Du ihr Urteil fällst.
Sie gehört nicht Dir, doch sie ist Deine Welt.
if you have some changes to do to the English translation of the text, do them!!!

I can't edit English translations (additionally I would wait for the source text to be updated).
Though the word order is a bit different, it has the same sense, BUT the "genannt" ( "called" ) belongs to a first part of sentence I couldn't anticipate:
"It will come, called Armageddon, [...] It does not belong to you, but it is your world."
(I never know whether to choose "will" or "is going to"...)
