Poems

[Godess Naru]

I don`t know if such a thread exists already, but I open it. Here is a latin one from my God Keitaro:
Sanguis fons vitae
Aqua fons vitae
Quod alter est densus et superbus
Quod alter est lenis et clarus.
Sanguis est sic purus,
Aqua est sic tennis.
Rarae donationes de deis,
Neglectum est de hominem,
Solum mors,
reportant donationes,
retro ad sanctum naturam.

It may has some gramatical mystakes, but you maybe can guess what it means, or translate it.

[Betong Åsna]

I don't speak Latin, so this should be a laugh:

Blood brings life
Water brings life
And the other is dense and overpowering
And the other is thin and clear
Blood is so pure
Water is so - (tennis? )
Both donated by God
Neglected by man ??
Only death
Donated once again
Back to sacred nature.

Would be my guess

[God Keitaro]

Nearly got it:
Blood, source of life
Water, source of life
The one is dense and proud (overpowering) (blood)
The other one is thin and clear
Blood is pure
Water is soft/mild
Both rare gifts of the gods
Don`t accenpted/neglected by humans
Only death
Gives back the gifts
Back to the sacred/holy nature.

You have translated it quite well. But it isn`t easy, because I took some words like tennis, which my old latin teacher asked me to take instead of lenis again (a poets language). There are many special invented words by poets, or they take something out, like in the first 2 lines i took out the "est" (Aquq est fons vitae). Like Catullus poems or Ovids poems. But i don`t just write love poems, like both of them did. I take some of my inspiration out of the metamorphoses from Ovid. Easier explaned: I take out the words I like from his epic poems and some words I like from the dictionary and combine them. Now I make 2 again in latin, tthen 3 in english, and if it is possible, at the end of the year, 3 in japanese.

well, to prvent double posting and because he is learning, he asked me to write his new poem here. Just gues what it means! (it has smth to do with love!):

Si invenisti quae verae amor
non emitte ea!
Cape ea pectum ad tuum pectum
ad tuum animum ita,
ut audias ferire animam ad eam.
Cura te pellicere a odori illis capillis,
quae sericae splendent.
Preme eam corpus stabilis ad te,
et non cura ea venire!
Molli ad unam cum ei anima
et ei corpori.
Per haec propinquitas
ea accipet haec coniunctio de amoris.

Have fun translating it. Tomorrow, God Keitaro maybe will write the translation, which of cours wouldn`t sound that good as the latin version. Just try to translate it and give your comments and critics about it here!

[Lightdevil]

so hard @_@ but I'm still trying :x

[God Keitaro]

well, if you want it or not, here comes the translation:

If you have found the true love
don`t let her go!
Take her breast to your breast
to your heart,
so that you can hear hers pumping.
let you be mislead by the smell of her hairs,
which gleam like silk.
Press her body tight on yours,
and don`t let her go!
Melt into with her soul
and her body.
Because of this closeness
she will accept this union.

Of courese it does not sound that good in german, but this is the translation.
So, what do you think of it?

[Sephiroth]

here's mine to this fine colection:

An angle from above
but where do i belong?
her sent draws me unto her
but where do i belong?
her sweet nector gives me life
but where do i belong?
her image is burned in to my eyes
but where do i belong?
her laughter echos in my ears
but where do i belong?
her voice screams for me
but where do i belong?
her being is mine
but where do i belong?
her life entwined with mine
but where do i belong?
her pain is mine
but where do i belong?
renewed life and hope from above
but where do i belong?
the awnser so clear:
Right by her side for all eterinety
That's where i belong!

[God Keitaro]

well done! this is great! maybe i could translate it into latin? but well, just let others see our peoms and let them give their critics to these poems. Then, i write a new latin one, i already have finished.

Yes i would like that alot

[Godess Naru]

well, as i told you in the one poem thread already: it is really hard, said God Keitaro to translate smth the opposite way round in latin. but if you really want to do that, you will make it. I cannot wait for all your nice poems, as i am too bad for writing such things: stories, poems,....

[Lightdevil]

breast o.o ( . Y . ) <<< o.o???

[God Keitaro]

well, with breast i don`t mean just boobs! you can see that, because i used the same word for the male person.

well when you say "Breasts" the female version pops into the mind. am i wrong?

[Godess Naru]

well, typically men! just our breasts in your heads! couldn`t you think of smth else? i also dunno think of your cock all the time!

[God Keitaro]

I never see a female as a "plaything"!!!! they are my equals as i am theirs.


Give me a little more time. i'm only at like 4-5 words translated. i'm a slow learner.

[God Keitaro]

well, some men see women as a plaything, but well.... lets change the topic!
noooo! you are not a slow learner! each text needs its time. and the aim of latin is actually not to write texts or talk: the aim is to translate it!
i try to speak it and write own texts too, but i already had 6 years latin at scholl and visited a course 1 year! so, dunno give up. i know that translating it into english is harder than into german, maybe because of the genders, but you can do it!


and now, the new poem:

Numina fuerunt donatere cum multa aequa potentia.
tales ludi quam a Zeus,
agitati a libidem.
Autem dabat unum deum,
qui aeque possidebat sensi.
Is amabat una mortalia,
non modo ea pulchritudi propter,
sed etiam
propter ea sancta anima.
Per haec coniunctio,
quae usque ad aeternitas retinebat,
expulsum uterque sunt a quos alios deos.
Sed cum deus et dea,
ducebant una aceris vita,
de amoris.

[Godess Naru]

i like that poem as much, as the one before! maybe, because you gave me the translation, my dear! but he will write the translation tmorrow, i think, he told me. and, seph, sorry. i maybe was a bit too hard!

[God Keitaro]

mabye this poem fits to my situation somehow...but anyway.
here is the translation of Numinae fuerunt..... poem:
Gods were donated by the same high power.
Those like zeus were lead by zest.
But there should have been a god,
who also possessed emotions.
He loved a mortal woman,
not just because of her beauty,
also,
because of her sacred (or holy) soul.
Because of this connection (the love is meant here),
which held on eternity,
they were disowned by the other gods.
But as they were God and Goddess,
they had a fierce life,
of love.
