| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 16日 10:06 |
| | You're welcome |

| | Dawna skorupa
dawno opuszczona
You traslated:
An old crust
long deserted
and you were not sure about it...
Well, it literally means: The old/former crust was left a long time ago...
Maybe experts can help here, Ania...
p.s. Thank yoy for translating also the title. I'm stil forgeting to put the titles into a translation field... |

| | No, i got the first stanza but i didnt the second one : spalam się - w ogniu - wciąż mięknę -
... Raz srebro - raz złoto ...
Doświadczenie przygodne
... Raz złe – raz dobre ....
I get it but it was very difficult to translate |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 16日 22:54 |
| | I can't underatand your "no", Ania... ?
... Raz srebro - raz złoto ...
Doświadczenie przygodne
... Raz złe – raz dobre ....
Litterally:
...Once (the)silver - once (the)gold [is appearing]
Accidental experience
... once good - once bad [one]

| | Aneta, you are absolutelty right but that is a literal translations and i dont think it has any meaning in english
|
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 12:49 |
| | Yes, I know. This is why we should wait for experts as always...
Take it easy Ania. If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to express them here... You probably have noticed I also don't hesitate to discuss... It is needed to improve the translations.

| | Hi girls
I'll work on this one to help you, but I don't think there will be much to do. It looks fine to me.
Perhaps the beginning could be:
"An old crust (shell?)
long ago abandoned..."
And this part:
"Burning, on fire, constantly softening
Turning from silver into gold..."
|
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 19:30 |
| | Ok, i've changed "burning, on fire ...". Obviously 'long ago abandonded" sounds right too ... what do you think Aneta? It's up to you |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 22:40 |
| | Yes, of course, it can be shell instaed of crust... I would choose this more pejorative one, but I don't now which it is...hehe
"long ago abandonded"
"burning, of fire..."
- all sound great! Thanks, girls!
I'm so grateful for your work on my "poems"... |

| | OK then, Ania if you make these edits we can set a poll. I think it looks and sounds good. |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:00 |
| | Done |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:09 |
| | To the poll! |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:13 |
| | Oh, if you want something stronger instead of shell/crust , what about "carcass"? |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:18 |
| | I didn't know that word ... well, it is strong but i don't think it has the same meaning. What do you think Aneta? In my dictionary it says that caracas is "padlina, ścierwo albo zwłoki zwierząt". It's not what you meant, is it? |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:21 |
| | carcass is used figuratively as: something lifeless, empty |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:33 |
| | Well, I meant about sth like "shell", "crust", "box" or even "prison"... It was to be a symbol of my depression - state of mind when we are closed in ourselves...
I wrote it just after the state had passed by... |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:29 |
| | Oh, well, then I guess 'shell' is fine |
| | 2009年 अक्टोबर 17日 23:32 |
| | Yes, I guess it is the best equivalent of Polish "skorupa"... |
