Full Version: Romantic Christmas poem for my German girlfriend
Toytown Germany > Discussion forum > Themes > Translations

Good day to you all and Merry Xmas Eve!!

I have a bit of a request. I wrote a love poem that I would like to give to my German girlfriend for Christmas. Her English is good, but not great. And my German is ... well, not where it should be. Overall, I think she will understand the poem, but I don't want to take the chance that some of it will be lost in translation. I was wondering if someone with a better handle on German could provide some sorely needed help. The poem follows below.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky,
I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why?
Why do I love you? I think and smile,
because I know the list could run on for miles and miles.
The whisper of your voice, the warmth of your touch,
so many little things that make me love you so much.
The way you support me, and help with my emotions,
the way that you care and show such devotion.
The way that your kiss, fills me with desire,
and how you hold me with the warmth of a blazing fire.
The way your eyes shine when you look at me,
lost with you forever is were I want to be.
The way that I feel when you're by my side,
a sense of completion and overflowing pride.
The dreams that I dream, that all involve you,
the possibilities I see and the things we can do.
How you finish the puzzle that lies inside my heart,
how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.
I could go on for days, telling of what I feel,
but all you really must know is my love for you is real.

Manchmal, wenn ich den Himmel anschaue
Ich denke an dir, und ich frage mich, wieso?
Warum soll ich dich lieben? Deine Brustwarzen?
Weil ich weiss, dass die Liste ganz kurz sein wird
Ze Schmell off your breaf, ass I look to ze sky
So menny sings, you loff me so make
Deine lift-support bras, I am of emotion
Dis Poem is bringing on vomitous potion
Deine Küssen sind wie von einer giftigen Schlange
Oder einer bestimmten Musikerin - ist doch dasselbe.
Ich will mich ins Feuer werfen, wenn ich dich sehe.
Sollst du bei mir bleiben, ich werde mich freuen
Nur wenn du regelmäßig die Miete willst zahlen.
Die Träume die ich träume, sind so feucht un nass
I cannot stop sinking of your bulbous ass
Dies sinks are belasting mich down on my heart
So bevor du nimmst die letzte Ausfahrt
Lass mir dich sagen, ich liebe dich so
Trotz kitschigen Tratsch. Na, so oder so...

hope this helps.

Did Babel Fish have a hand in that?

To OP: play safe, deliver in English... With the version in post #2 you might be rid of her for good sad.gif

Manchmal nachts, wenn ich zum Himmel schaue, fange ich an, an Sie zu denken und dann frage mich, warum?
Warum ich liebe Dich? Ich denke und lächele, weil ich weiß, daß die Liste für Meilen und Meilen an laufen könnte.
Das Flüstern Ihrer Stimme, die Wärme Ihrer Note, so viele kleine Sachen, die mich Liebe Sie soviel bilden.
Die Weise stützen Sie mich und helfen bei meinen Gefühlen, die Weise, der Sie solche Hingabe sich interessieren und zeigen.
Die Weise, der Ihr Kuß, mich mit Wunsch füllt und wie Sie mich mit der Wärme eines flammenden Feuers halten.
Die Weise, die Ihre Augen glänzen, wenn Sie mich betrachten, verloren mit Ihnen ist für immer, waren ich möchten sein.
Die Weise, die ich wenn you're durch meine Seite, eine Richtung der Beendigung und überfließenden Stolz glaube.
Alle Träume, die ich träume, diese beziehen Sie, die Möglichkeiten mit ein, die ich und die Sachen sehe, wir tun können.
Wie Sie das Puzzlespiel beenden, das innerhalb meines Herzens liegt, wie dieses tiefe in meiner Seele, Sie das wichtigste Teil sind.
Ich könnte für Tage, Erklären weitergehen von, was ich glaube, aber alle, die Sie wirklich wissen müssen, ist meine Liebe für Sie ist real.

regards,
Babblefishy

How did it go? Did she love it?
Drazen2396
Actually she did. I read it to her in English and she cried her little eyes out. It was sweet actually ... and then we decided to play a fun little game that i have affectionally called, "put the biscuit in the basket..." It was one helluva Christmas. How was everybody's?

Thanks for leaving out the details of biscuits and baskets. Was it my first translation she melted over, btw? tongue.gif

Ok, now I am really depressed!!! what a lucky girl!!
Drazen2396
No details needed Silty1, and umm, no, it was not your translation she melted over. Truth be told, I thought you were on to something when I read the first few lines of your translation. Almost copied it verbatim too. It's a good thing mummy always told me to double-check my work in kindergarten!

I'll take that as a compliment alimess. I am quite the catch you know. cool.gif

I'm so out of touch that I originally thought he meant this.
