Metamorfoza życia

nie pamięta już
dlaczego chciała umrzeć
dlaczego
skrycie umierała
pozwoliła na bezsens
nie rozumiała że życie
panta rhei
metamorfoza nieustajÄ…ca
raniÄ…ca
że jednak pełna nadziei
jutro też jest dzień
ciekawe
co siÄ™ we mnie
zmieni

Title
Metamorphosis of life
Translation
Engels

Translated by iluvmilka
Target language: Engels

Metamorphosis of life

She no longer remembers
Why she wanted to die
Why
She's been dying secretly
And let the nonsense stay*
And didn't understand that life
"panta rhei"
The constant metamorphosis,
Hurting
Yet still full of hope
Tomorrow is another day
I wonder
What is going to change
In me
Remarks about the translation
* - it's not the exact translation, but as long as the requester accepts it, it's fine:)

"panta rhei" isn't Latin, but transliteration of Antient Greek sentence ("everything flows"?)
Yes, I wanted to leave the tranliterated version.

Well, Ania, I wouldn't use unpersonal "it" here. The author of the poem ( ) is the unspecified subject ... So, you can use optionally "she" hehe...

This looks good to me
I'd just put "panta rhei" in quotation marks and remove that "to" before "stay"

That's great for me, but one line:"(She)Doesn’t remember" - can we remove "(she)"?

What about: "Wondering"?

Why, don't translate it directly from Polish?

nie pamięta już =she hasn't remember yet

I thought you didn't want 'she' to be used

I didn't want only brackets

Thank you, dear Lilly!
And let the nonsense stay* is also perfect here!

Oh, Lilly, I don't know if "still" is good here:
She still hasn't remembered

Literally this line means:
She hasn't remember anymore...

Aneta, I used 'still' because you had used 'yet' in your post (she hasn't remembered yet ), but if you say it should be "anymore" then the verb tense should also change.
"She doesn't remember anymore" or "She no longer remembers"

Wow! Of course. I sometimes don't know which tense is correct... Still learning...
Thank you, Lilly!
