la tristezza splendeva come uno smeraldo

Sadness was shining like an emerald
and happiness setting like a cloudy evening
I didn't know which of them I'd choose
since each was prettier than the other. |

15 September 2008 19:34 | | | Just a correction of tenses. "splendeva" = "Was shining" and "tramontava" = "was setting". Also, "which one TO choose". | | |
15 September 2008 23:43 | | | I would prefer for "ognuna": any / none | | |
16 September 2008 07:34 | | | I would have used the same verb tense for the two verses to support the flow.
"Sadness was shining", "happiness was setting"
instead of the "shone" and "set" which do not match. | | |
16 September 2008 14:31 | | | "shone" and "set" match perfectly, however I agree that the past continuos would be more suitable for the flow and I'll edit it.
Thanks. CC: AspieBrain |
