[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 1946874, member: 6957"] My German is very rusty after twenty years or so of disuse... But it seems to be about something creeping up on you in the night while you are in your bed when you are a child and singing to you about the dawn... Sending it to Babelfish.... Wow! This is worse than a useless translation! I have to share: Now dear children give finely eight I are the voice from the cushion I have you somewhat bring along it from my chest with this heart have I power the lids to extort I sing clever to the day awakes a bright light at the Firmament my heart burns They come to you in the night Damonen of spirit black Feen it creep from the cellar pit and under your bed things will see Now dear children give finely eight I are the voice from the cushion I have you somewhat bring along a bright light at the Firmament my heart burns They come to you in the night and steal your small hei?en tranen them wait to the moon awaked and print them into my cold Venen Now dear children give finely eight I are the voice from the cushion I sing to the day awakes a bright light at the Firmament my heart burns I actually understand less than I did when I started! Here's one in English, with no relation to the other... By William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. The Auld Grump, [i]brain... getting... smaller... must fight... Babelfish... contagion....[/i] *EDIT* But I will have to find a way to use the line 'I are the voice from the cushion'... [/QUOTE]
