Translation Chain 1-29One the verge between light and darkness --  
moon stops before the transition began --  
I stand watching the empty night sky.  
 
The eyes of our conflict  
(a war fades when closed.)  
 
However, she was caring.  
She went to survive,  
seek union.  
 
What rules the darkness is alone.  
It is easy to see,  
choice for those who see:  
 
"For a thousand diamonds,  
Visionary seeks victory  
among the thousands of prophecy,  
all clear as diamonds. "  
 
And the blaze brings the down.  
 
Were they naked, impure?

Translation Chain 1-28Jedan tren između svjetla i tame--  mjesec stane prije prijelaza--  ja stanem gledati prazno noćno nebo.   
Oči nam se sukobe  (a rat blijedi kad se zatvore.)   
Ipak, bila je brižna.  Otišla je opstati,  tražiti sjedinjenje.   
Ono što vlada tamom je samo.  Lako je gledati,  izbor za one koji vide:   
"Za tisuću dijamanata,  vizionar traži pobjedu  međ tisuće proročanstava,  sva jasna kao dijamanti."   
I blijesak donosi zoru.

Translation Chain 1.27It was one moment between the light and the blackness--  the moon paused before crossing--  I paused in watching the empty night sky.   
Our eyes met with alarm  (so one could only stop the war by closing our eyes.)   
Finally, she was kind.  She left to ensure survival,  for the pursual of a reunion.   
That which rules over blackness is alone.  Easy to look at,  a choice left for those who can see:   
"For the thousand diamonds,  the visionary only looks for the victory  with the thousands of prophecies,  all clear like diamonds."

Translation Chain 1.26Ce fut un moment entre la lumière et le noirceur—  La lune s’est arretée devant la croisée.  Je me repose en regardent le ciel de nuit vide.   
Nos yeux se rencontrent au son de l’alarme.  (Si seulement on pouvait interrompre la guerre en fermant nos yeux.)   
Enfin, elle était aimable.  Elle est partie pour assurer sa survie.  Pour la poursuite d’une réunion.   
Celui qui règne sur le noirceur est seul.  Facile à regarder, une choice laissée pour tous à voir :

What is Translation Chain?

It's a project started by =salshep in October 2007 as an experiment in how a piece of writing undergoes changes during many translations. Here is the old account [link] .

Want to join?

:bulletred: We are looking for BILINGUAL writers. If you want to participate, you MUST read and write in at least two languages reasonably well.

:bulletred: Send a note to ~TChainRedux and let me know which languages are best for you. Alternatively, you could help someone who doesn't speak English at all to participate, by letting them know what's happening, and sending in their application for them.

Your support is greatly appreciated!

The Return

Sat Dec 5, 2009, 1:22 PM
  • Mood: Hysterical
  • Listening to: Era - Hymne
  • Drinking: water
Life has been so stressful lately, I thought I'd go insane. A whole month flew by like nothing. The madness isn't over yet but it's high time that I continue the Translation Chain project. Apologies to everyone for my shamelessly long absence.

I want to run a chain for Christmas but first a question to you all. I have read different opinions from your fellow participants about the first chain. There were suggestions to do a piece of prose next or to do a poem with a fixed scheme, e.g a sonnet. We could even translate one of Shakespeare's sonnets, although I'm worried some would find them too challenging to actually have fun translating.

Let me know what YOU think. Post your opinion as a reply to this journal or send me a note if you feel more comfortable this way.
