Title	Senhor, tenha piedade!
Text Submitted by peixefruta	Source language: Portuguese Senhor, tenha piedade! Senhor, me dÃª visÃ£o. Perdoem, senhores, tenham piedade. Perdoem que a maldiÃ§Ã£o se consagre por minhas mÃ£os.
Remarks about the translation	Pequena oraÃ§Ã£o atravÃ©s de afirmaÃ§Ã£o pra si mesmo, misturando o Deus cristÃ£o e os deuses gregos. Gostaria de saber, se possÃvel, como se pronucÃa.

Title	Lord, have mercy!
Translation English Translated by Lein	Target language: English Lord, have mercy! Lord, let me see clearly. Forgive me, lords, have mercy. Forgive me for my hands bringing about the curse.
Remarks about the translation	Last line: forgive me (for the fact) that the curse comes true through my hands. 'The curse' here doesn't refer to any specific curse, I think; rather to 'that which is bad'. The requester explains in the notes that this is a little prayer in which the Christian God and Greek gods both figure. She would like to know the pronunciation, if possible.

	lilian canale จำนวนข้อความ: 14972	Hi Lein, I think "give me vision" is more accurate.

	Lein จำนวนข้อความ: 3389	OK. It just sounds weird in English.

	lilian canale จำนวนข้อความ: 14972	I agree. What the original really means is "lucidity" or "clearness".

	lilian canale จำนวนข้อความ: 14972	What about: "discernment"?
		26 August 2010 17:43
	Lein จำนวนข้อความ: 3389	If we are going for less than literal, why not 'let me see clearly'?

	lilian canale จำนวนข้อความ: 14972	I think that might work

	peixefruta จำนวนข้อความ: 6	Well, if we go poetic, it would be .."wide my eyes ..."

	lilian canale จำนวนข้อความ: 14972	I'm afraid "wide" is not a verb. We could say: "open my eyes wide". Is that what you mean?

	peixefruta จำนวนข้อความ: 6	yes, but when in a poem, I believe you can make an adjective, a verb...
