The Dark Cheeks of KD Lang

entry picture

It must be the march of the brave souls

of the drawing of the truth

of the giant magnet 

of life itself given here

under my skin.

 

Hope, dark and thick 

always through a narrow time

 

Oh, and the constant hunger of wisdom

always hungry, always have been

Laura,

I like this because it retains much of the original message of the orig lyrics but does its own thing too, Japanese? no reason except that the results seem to come out better with some languages than others prob because the translation is more difficult.

Wot John said :)

I used to amuse myself years ago with the advent of the internet by putting stuff into babelfish and re-translating into several different languages :)

Why Japanese btw?

This poem was the result of translating the lyrics of the KD Lang song, constant craving in to Japanese and back again five times, then removing some words. win
