It's easy to see how my face changes when I think of you
A warmth floods my body as if I was in your embrace
I am consumed with images of you
Although I have never held you in my arms
I know your every curve and how it would feel against me
I have never known love like this
I struggle for the strength to go without you yet another day
I miss you
I love you
I adore you
One day my love....
We will be together

I am really trying to absorbe all I can. I am a bit slow....
Thank you!

It's hard to translate poetry word-by-word. It's nothing poetic in the final outcome. So, I'll try to translate it in such a way as to keep the initial poetry in Romanian as well:

It's easy to see how my face changes when I think of you----E usor sa vezi cum ma transform cand ma gandesc la tine
A warmth floods my body as if I was in your embrace--O caldura imi invaluie trupul ca si cum am fi imbratisati
I am consumed with images of you ---Ma mistuie imaginea ta
Although I have never held you in my arms--Desi nu te-am imbratisat niciodata
I know your every curve and how it would feel against me--Iti cunosc fiecare ungher al corpului si stiu cum ar fi sa te simt langa mine
I struggle for the strength to go without you yet another day--Ma lupt pentru puterea de a trai fara tine inca o zi
I miss you ---Mi-e dor de tine
I love you --Te iubesc
I adore you--Te ador
One day my love.... --Intr-o zi, dragostea mea....
We will be together --Vom fi impreuna



May your wish come true

Thank you so much...

You're welcome

Hmmm. So does translating song lyrics usually get the same kind of treatment, in order to preserve the figurative language or "poeticisms," or are those generally done word-for-word?

But I do have some detailed questions about that for the language thread, if I can ever find the time to get back to that on a regular basis, darn.

You see Wolver, there's a difference between translations because one may be poetical and to treat the text in a figurative and metaphorical way, and another can be sceptical let's say, and to translate it word by word.

Dya is gone a little bit in vacantion. Post there your questions and I might help you. Or when she comes for sure, she answers.

regards.

the translation is very good i am romanian girl... :-p
