    ooooh seems that I'm the first
    how would you say something like:
    " I miss you, are you still living in Montreal?"
    Twój świat kręci się wokół mnie
    En pige danser i flammernes skær
    Måneblomst hun danser som den varme vind og ulvene hyler i nat ★

    See you

    Hello, I have a question.

    It's a line from a song by Oomph! (Tief in dir), it goes:

    Ich bin deiner Macht erlegen

    I've seen it translate in four different ways:
    - I'm your power to kill
    - I have surrendered to your power
    - I'm your surrendered power
    - I'm the one who gives you energy

    Opinions?

    I'd chose the second That's closest to what it wants to say.
    The first is so, so wrong, the third changes the meaning though it gets all the words right and the fourth is completely wrong.

    If you want a fifth translation I took "succumb to" to fit the meaning of "jemandem/etwas erlegen sein"

    Wow, you can't imagine how helpful that was! I've wondered about this for a few months but every time I searched for the song new meanings kept appearing for that line, now I finally know and your translation (using "succumb to") is definitely the best one .

    I also agree that "succumb to your power" is the best translation

    Halli Hallo!

    Dear Steena, the second line's missing; here's my suggestion for it but you may improve it of course:

    how will you learn if you never try remember if you try you might get some where you never know
    Wie wirst du lernen, wenn du es nie versuchst? denk daran, wenn du es versuchst, könntest du etwas finden wo du es nie erwartet hättest.

    Hi there!!

    Literally speaking, "hallochen" would be "little hello", but of course that doesn't exist in english, so it'd be better to translate it only as "hello" as Tahira said. Note however that the ending "-chen" always gives the meaning of "small/little":

    -Haus (house)----->Häuschen (little house)
    -Hand (hand)------>Händchen (little hand)
