| | 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!   |

| | Do you agree Jair?
Lene, Bamsa, could you also give your inputs? CC: Bamsa gamine |

| | 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 |
