Títol	Notes on a Music Album #1
Text a traduir Enviat per salimworld	Idioma orígen: Anglès "Abrahadabra" is a reflection of my exaggerated personal feelings. It is the first endeavor to my idea of â€œpictorial rockâ€ - i.e. composition of sounds that recite a sequence of mental pictures. Actually all of these instrumental tracks have a real-life story behind them. There are very vague allusions to these stories in the CD booklet. e.g. â€œRouteâ€ is the story of a death ceremony and recites the mourning over the dead in a way that is done in eastern culture. Or â€œTold to the Birdâ€ is the story of my own confession to a bunch of flying birds in a ritualistic way... In one sentence, while composing this album, I felt very lovesick, idealist and outraged.
Notes sobre la traducció	"Abrahadabra" is name of a music album. Please don't translate it.

	Lein Nombre de missatges: 3389	Hi Salim A small remark about about the English text: 'mourning over dead' doesn't sound like something a native speaker would say. I think you probably want to say 'the dead' - or maybe 'mourning over death'?

	salimworld Nombre de missatges: 248	Dear Lein, Thanks for the point. You are right. "Mourning over death" would be a better term.

	Lein Nombre de missatges: 3389	Hello all, As per the discussion above, I have changed the original 'mourning over dead' into 'mourning over death'. Could you all have a look at your translation (for Siberia, the translation you accepted) to see if it needs changing? Thanks! CC: Aneta B. Efylove lilian canale Siberia

	Siberia Nombre de missatges: 611	Well, in Russian "mourning over dead" has more sense than that new varient. I'd prefer to leave translation as is if Salim agrees.

	salimworld Nombre de missatges: 248	Hi Siberia, In eastern cultures people gather and mourn for dead ones in a ritualistic way... As long as the phrase conveys the meaning it is ok with me

	Aneta B. Nombre de missatges: 4487	Thank you, Lein, for your notification, but I wouldn't change anything in my version. In my country (as in Russia) we never say that "we mourn over death" (opÅ‚akujemy Å›mierÄ‡), but we say "we mourn over the dead" (opÅ‚akujemy zmarÅ‚ych) and that is just how I have it translated. Alternatively we say that "we mourn over death of the deceased" (opÅ‚akujemy Å›mierÄ‡ zmarÅ‚ego). I just think that Salim all the time meant "the dead" = dead people, and only an article "the" was missing here

	Lein Nombre de missatges: 3389	Hi all, That was my initial interpretation too I will be off line for the coming week so if 'death' should be changed to 'the dead', please cc Lilian or another English expert
