what eagle look still shows.
Text
Submitted by Peuquat
Source language: English

When day begins to break
I count my good and bad,
Being wakeful for her sake,
Remembering what she had,
What eagle look still shows
Remarks about the translation
On attendrait une suite, mais il n'y en a pas...

Title
Ce que le regard d'un aigle montre toujours
Translation
French

Translated by gamine
Target language: French

Quand le jour commence à pointer
je compte ce que j'ai de bien et mal,
Restant éveillé par égard pour elle,
Me souvenant de ce qu'elle avait,
Ce que le regard d'un aigle montre toujours
Remarks about the translation
Traduction quelque peu libre mais elle est en MO. Je reste ouverte a toutes propositions de mes experts.

Daybreak = the beginning of the day.
My French is not good enough to be sure, but does your translation really mean the same?

Hi! No, in French version the break of the day is the end of the day (evening).

It seems Lein is right I can find here daybreak means "aube" , and about to break it's also not so clear.
So I ask for an english expert Opinion.

Lilian,
Do you think it's the beginning or the end of the day.
