o camilla sov en natt med mig.
Text
Submitted by Laura90
Source language: Swedish

Jag kan ge utan att ta, jag kan få dig att må bra
o camilla sov en natt med mig.
Jag kan ge dig min hand o mitt hjärta står i brand
o camilla du kan ej säga nej till en natt med mig.
Remarks about the translation
Gostaria que fosse uma tradução, não ao pé da letra, mas que dê sentido e ao mesmo tempo não mude muito as palavras.

Obrigada s2

o Camilla sleep one night with me.
Translation
English

Target language: English

I can give without taking, I can make you feel good
o Camilla sleep one night with me.
I can give you my hand, and my heart is on fire
o Camilla you can't refuse a night with me.

I sista meningen borde det vara; "o Camilla you can't SAY NO to a night with me"

Refuse blir ju mer vägra och detta är en drömsk text, därför passar det inte.

Men det är ju bara min åsikt.

It's OK as it is. We right "oh" as "o" in this kind of poetic context.

But I don't know what Mimmidanielsson said.

Ok...good to know about the "oh".

Mimmidanielsson say that:
The last sense should be "o Camilla you can't SAY NO to a night with me" Refuse is more like swedish vägra.. and this is a dreamlike text, because of that refuse don't be suitable.

But that is just mine opinion.

I can´t help thinking that the "o" should be translated to "and" (as it has been in the Portuguese version) and as it also has been translated another place in this very same text: "Jag kan ge dig min hand o mitt hjärta står i brand" -->
"I can give you my hand AND my heart is on fire"

I have read the above comments and I´m not writing this because I expect you to change it, I just wanted to give you my personal opinion :-)

My notes on the portuguese version says that it could be actually "Oh".

Which one? I really can't help you, because I can't read Swedish - I have no idea what "o" means in Swedish.

Sorry kafetzou for not be clear enough.
I mean Anita_Luciano's (she refer to Portuguese wich is a language I don't understand) and Casper have another idea about it.

'o' in swedish is not the same as and, it's more a expression for a feeling (An interjection)

Hope I made it clearer now...

pias, ok, I hear you and I do believe that you must know (a lot) better than me when it comes to Swedish! - but if "o" is not the same as "and", then shouldn´t it be corrected here: "Jag kan ge dig min hand o mitt hjärta står i brand" (in the translation it says: I can give you my hand AND my heart is on fire)?

Anita, you got a point in what you are saying..I don't know why the swedish source text is writen:
'Jag kan ge dig min hand o mitt hjärta står i brand',
It should be:

'Jag kan ge dig min hand OCH mitt hjärta står i brand'

(But if you should act consistently and interpret the 'o' as and through all text)

'I can give you my hand oh my heart is on fire'
That sounds very weird..

I guess as you assume that the source text is not right.

Did I answered your question?

yep. Thanks!

If, however, you put a comma after "hand", then it would sound ok, wouldn´t it?

'I can give you my hand, oh my heart is on fire'

But it´s of course (!) completely up to you.
