Virginia. I enjoyed the poem, I too have no idea of spanish, i am pretty bad at learning new languages the closest I ever get to learning spanish is by singing along to the Clash songs such as Spanish bombs. "Here I am in prison,here I am with a ball and chain There is whiskey in the jar-o" Traditional irish song. |

es muy bien!! Question. . . do you write it in Spanish first and then translate to English, or the other way around???? Excellent. . . --------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I wrote it in Spanish, then posted it last year for help in the gaps I had and any mistakes I made the first time through, here's my first draft: La Luna Blanca Virginia Salter la luna blanca en el cielo es muy bonita ella mire abajo el mundo con un smile grandé y un corazon de amor quiero to be con tu y baile ala (until) mañana mi boca quiero a beso su cara handsome y hold tu en mi brazos ala el sol arriba tambien tu son mi mundo tu son mi amor tu son mi vivo, mi mija © 15 de julio, 2000 some of the words I just couldn't remember and some I'd never learned oh, my, I just noticed that my original said my daughter at the end, which is what I intended, and the rewrite, with the help of another says my sweetheart...though both work in the right setting, that is not my original intent. Wish I'd noticed that then. Of course, I'm easily swayed where my thinking is weak. don't tell anyone, please. However, I will say, I thought the phrases in English and tried to think of the words in Spanish that said the same thing. About the only thing I think in Spanish first is: ¡salud! and maybe ¡callete! at the appropriate moments. I think that second one is misspelled, isn't it. Now let's see, I think I must have been a lot confused because I wanted the word for handsome and if it was about my daughter, that would not fit. I'm too old to remember last year, I guess. Don't ask me about yesterday, either.  [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 07-11-2001).] |
