when I'm near you my heart won't be told, It just feels what it feels, knows what it knows. I want to do what feels right

quando sono vicino a te

Translated by GhiRic
Target language: Italiaans

Quando sono vicino a te al mio cuore non può esser detto ciò che deve fare, semplicemente sente quello che sente, sa quello che sa. Voglio fare quello che sembra giusto.

Riccardo,

Dai un'occhiata alla discussione qua e correggi la traduzione... Ho chiesto delucidazioni a un'esperta per l'inglese perché non ero sicuro del significato della prima parte della frase.

Alex & (GhiRic):

May I suggest a simpler, shorter (and perhaps, fairer) version?:

“Quando sono vicino a te, il mio cuore è libero,... (?)

And with respect to the rest, why not: "soltanto" in place of "semplicemente"? [Not so confident of this point; it's just a guess... Perhaps a whisper from the past.]

Hi Lev!

I think your suggestion is very good, but GhiRic's translation is very good too. There are many ways to translate this line, and any of them can be acceptable. I think it mostly depends on how translators approach this line and on how much of themselves they put in this translation.

Of course, Alex!

I just wanted to point out the following: if you count the words of the original English idiom ("my heart won't be told" ), you find 5 --or 6, if you want--. Then you count the words employed in the Italian expression and find 11.
My alternative has 5, as the original. It was only this.
(And I wanted to know from you, as well, if my second suggestion was right in Italian. I had a slight doubt.)

About "soltanto" you mean? Yes, it could be a valuable alternative, but the word order should be changed a bit (i.e. sente soltanto quello che sente).

Oh, yes, yes: "sente soltanto..." I meant that order.

Many thanks for your response, Alex! I'm trying to wipe the dust and the rust off my vetusto italiano, now that I have the chance, here in Cucumis

Best Regards!
