Ploutarxos- To Gramma Lyrics wanted

Yes, I know what you mean.

Kind of like ... Greek, isn't it? Translating songs is not so difficult when it comes to easy words, but if you ask me to use the very same words into phrases of my own.... it takes some time till I figure them out. Not to mention at least one mistake per sentence

I C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E-L-Y agree!!!!

But nevertheless I'm confident that one day we'll be able to make sentences without any mistake in it (easy sentences, of course)... but it's a long way there

Amin!

Am incercat sa traduc versurile cu google translate dar e varza.....
..cred ca tot cineva care stie greceste ar trebui sa ne traduca.
What a mess........

To go

To go
In what have not choras
After what we prefer antecheis
In that easily elegcheis to go

To go
There things simple
Known, and ordinary young
Were not need many

But you decide
When bores will beat
Difficult times when 'yes
When you stand up mountains
Do with sygkrineis
Where others stop
Where does not tolmane
And left behind far

To go
In the quiet fraud ektimas
In the brief from which tolmas
In easy love asking

But you decide
When bores will beat
Difficult times when 'yes
When you stand up mountains
Yes, you decide
when it burns your soul
sterefei power when you
and will not find hug
Do with sygkrineis
when we played your life
when foreigners will be your own
small and you nowhere

I really hope someone will translate this song.

I don't seem to figure it out. I don't know why, because the words are not difficult. But it's something about the sentence topic that makes this translation difficult for me

That's what I managed to correct, but I must say that some of the lyrics are strange...

To go -> You could just simply translate it as Go

To go
You don’t fit in what you have - strange sentence
Since you prefer what you can take
Go to the easy things that you can control

To go
There to the simple things
Known, ordinary and small
There were not need much

But you judge me
When storms will beat
Difficult times when there will be
When the mountains will arise
Compare me
There were the others stop
That they don’t dare more
And they stay behind far away

To go
To the quiet fraud that you appreciate
To the little from this something that you dare (to do)
To the easy love that you ask for

But you judge me
When storms will beat
Difficult times when there will be
When the mountains will arise
Yes, judge me
when your soul will be in danger - free translation
when you power dries up
and you will not find hug
Compare me
when your soul will be in danger
when your familiars will become strangers
and you, little one, (you’ll be) in nowhere - I didn’t get that!

Maria mou, euxaristw polu!!!

And the last verse doesn't make sense because actually he says: στο πουθενά !! I just listened to the song because that last verse was a hard rock for me as well !

You don’t fit in what you have - strange sentence
I guess he means: you don't find your place in all that you have/ what you have is not enough/suited for you

Oh, I forgot something: the infinitive that appears in the translation is easy to understand for those who know Romanian:
Να πας--să mergi
Μα να με κρίνεις--dar să mă judeci
Να με συγκρίνεις--să mă compari

This song is kind of untranslatable, I would say...
Maria, you were faster than me... but just to compare I post my attempt to translate the chorus... I hope you don't mind

Actually I think this song is more likely to be "interpreted" than "translated"...

So here's what I did:

Μα να με κρίνεις
But judge me
Όταν οι μπόρες θα χτυπάνε
When thunderstorms will hit you
Δύσκολες ώρες όταν θα 'ναι
When there are difficult times
Όταν σηκώνονται βουνά
When mountains arise
Να με συγκρίνεις
Compare me
Εκεί που οι άλλοι σταματάνε
There where the others stop
Που παραπάνω δεν τολμάνε
Where they don't risk more
Και μένουν πίσω μακριά
And (they) stay far behind
Να πας
Go



What about this sentence? (You forgot it in the post above):
Να με συγκρίνεις
Judge me
όταν θα παίζεται η ζωή σου
??? Does it by chance mean something like "when my life will play tricks on me" (but I'm just guessing)????

I would say it's more like :

when your life will play be played meaning will be at stake meaning what Maria translated as :when your soul will be in danger



And to answer your rethrical question: "To whom??"... To you!!! cause you understand Romanian!

Let's say I try to do so! Explaining Greek by Romanian is a nice way to make me forget respectively mix up everything I know - I'm afraid when I wake up tomorrow I won't be able to speak German

LOL! LOL!

I'm afraid I can't help you with that cause German is something I was never able to learn And I had some German classes in school, but.... NOTHING!!! Ja, nein, bitte, danke ... am I smart or what?!

You're awesome!!!! Ich bin beeindruckt!
But I think that German is very hard to learn - at least everybody who learns it claims this! If you want to know something just ask me.... but be aware, I might have forgotten it.

I had to google for that!!! The ich bin part I remembered, though!!

Yes, even people who haven't managed to learn it will say the same!!!

I will ask you, and in case you forgot it, try explaining it in Romanian via Greek!!

Well, let's say I wanted you to practise!

Perfect solution! I'm looking forward to this conversation!
Btw, I'm just trying to communicate in Turkish - compared with this (all I know is one, two, thanks, welcome, hello, I'm fine, I love you) everything else is sooo easy....

Oh, I practised, no worries! I'm still trying to untangle my tongue from trying to pronounce beeindrucken- beeindruckt !!

Turkish?! (I feel the need to notice what interesting combination of words and expressions you know in Turkish!!)

Turkish is too much of a challenge for me. As far as I know the grammar rules are nowhere close to anything I may consider familiar... So ...not much hope in that direction

Of course I don't mind... Besides I have to admit your translation is excellent!

I'm afraid that it's not correct, it means 'when you would be in danger' or something like that. Unfortunately I can't find the appropriate translation for this. Maybe Zvezda can help cause she knows english perfectly, I don't...

No mercy for you ... imagine me pronoucing ă, î and â!

Yes, I know that it's an interesting combination.... just words I've heard once and managed to remember... and I just realise that I know some parts of Mustafa Sandal's lyrics. At the moment I'm not trying to learn Turkish - it would even enhance the confusion!!!!!!!

Trebuie să merg acum... pe mâine şi te doresc o seară plăcută!!

And maybe we should continue our discussion via personal messaging, because this has already gone off topic and I don't want the moderators to get angry with us

Euxaristw parapoly!!!!! You know that your translations are unmatched!!

No problem, as I wrote I was just guessing.... thanks to Zvezda in advance for the perfect English expression!
