| | Hi mingtr,
"the time is lapsing difficult"
Does it mean "time hardly lapses"? |

| | yiah..
But, as is a song, I though that "time is lapsing difficult" would be more..well..I am not sure!
Perhaps, you are right!
I am going to correct it!

| | I think the translation should be: without your love, time scarcely goes by, without your love, the world seems smaller... |
| | 26 August 2008 07:43 |
| | "ΠΙΟ ΜΙΚΡΟΣ" means "smaller", not "too small".
However, I can think of a translation that also rhymes in English:
Without your love, time passes at a slower rate,
without your love, the world is not as great. |

| | Ειναι δίστιχο απο ελληνικό Ï„Ïαγουδι, οποτε πιστευω πως ολα ταιÏιαζουν!
Δεν ξεÏω ομως αν θελει ακÏιβη μεταφÏαση ή ελευθεÏη μετάφÏαση ή απλά το νόημα..
ΧÏησιμοποίησα τη λÎξη "too small" για υπεÏβολή..

| iriniNumber of messages: 849 | Ermmm doesn't "hardly" mean "very little" "barely enough"?
I'd go for a non poetic translation really. Something like "time passes arduously".
I mean, the way I understand "δÏσκολα πεÏνάει ο καιÏός" it doesn't mean that time hardly passes/lapses but that every minute is sheer drudgery. |

| | hummm...good point Irini.
That would make more sense to me.
"Time passes painfully" |

| | pass..?I think lapse is more..poetic ! |
| | 28 August 2008 15:40 |
| | you are absolutely right about hardly irini...well i shouldn't translate late at night |

| | ...time elapses arduously (with difficulty)
...time flows lethargically
