Când rupi o coardă de vioară,...
Text
Submitted by MÃ¥ddie
Source language: Romanian

Când rupi o coardă de vioară,
vioara tace murmurând,
o altă coardă îi ia locul
şi vezi vioara iar cântând,
dar dacă din întâmplare
în coarda inimii loveşti,
ea tace pentru totdeauna,
şi nu mai poţi să o înlocuieşti.

Title
When you break a violin string, the violin becomes silent...
Translation
English

Translated by MÃ¥ddie
Target language: English

When you break a violin string,
the violin becomes silent, whispering,
another string takes its place
and you can see the violin singing again,
but if, by chance,
the string of the heart is the one you hit,
it falls silent forever.
and you can't replace it anymore.

Hi Madeleine,

"...but if, by chance, the string of the heart you hit, it falls silent forever ..."

There's something missing, or the syntax is wrong here.
I imagine two possible sentences, tell me if one of them conveys the original.

"but if, by chance, you hit the string of the heart, it falls silent forever"

"but if, by chance, the string of the heart is the one you hit, it falls silent forever"

By the way...Why did you translate your own request?

Hello Lilian,

it's not my own request, I've just added English and gave it a try; there are much more chances someone will translate it, helped by the English version.
Hope this is not a problem; if it is, I won't do it again.

String instead of cord.
