Title	the gods have already taught me not to stay away...
Text Submitted by casper tavernello	Source language: English the gods have already taught me not to stay away from the nymph. they have already taught me how to say their prayers. a commission of oracles seems to reapear in every word you sing. their eyes look astonished with the spells you bring. they have already taught me to look at the clouds and fly but they haven't thaught me how to land my hands upon your dreams. one single flute note seems to make you sleep and my words would make, getting into your soul, a hundred chimeras wake [up].
Remarks about the translation	I would like the rhymes to be kept: sing bring make wake

Title

Nymphe

Translation

French

Translated by

Botica

Target language: French

Les dieux m'ont dÃ©jÃ enseignÃ©
de la nymphe rester prÃ¨s.

Ils m'ont dÃ©jÃ enseignÃ©
comment les prier.

Un ordre des oracles semble sorti
de chaque mot que tu chantes.
Leurs yeux semblent surpris
par tes charmes qui enchantent.

Ils m'ont dÃ©jÃ enseignÃ©
Ã regarder les nuages et voler

Mais ils ne m'ont pas enseignÃ©
comment sur tes rÃªves mes mains poser.

Une simple note de flÃ»te semble te faire sommeiller
et mes paroles pourraient,
une fois dans ton esprit entrÃ©es,
cent chimÃ¨res rÃ©veiller.

Leurs yeux semblent surpris par tes charmes qui les ont enchantÃ©. I don't find those poor rhymes in "Ã©" very pretty, but I've made what I could. Friendly.

	casper tavernello Number of messages: 5057	I'm not complaining, Botica. I just thought I wasn't clear enough in my remarks about my text. I was trying to say that the only things to rhyme here are the line 6 with the line 8, and the 14 with 16.
