| Locked Out of Heaven
It should be "put my heart on the line" (meaning risk his heart) not "put my heart on deny" (doesn't really mean anything). |
| Transcription
There were a couple other little words that were wrong. Corrected:
You and me
underneath the evergreen,
rosy cheeks
holding hands while the snow is falling...
Hold me so,
stay under the mistle više |
| L.I.F.E
Suggested corrected lyrics:
L is for the liars that have surrounded me
I insecurities my head down in these streets
F my future there isn't 1
E Eternal hope
This is my life

| translation from french to english
Perhaps it's Haitian Creole? I know the spellings are often very different from French, even when the words are almost the same, and I think it also has many words from African languages in it. |
| Meaning of I wanna hold you high?
To get an accurate translation of this fairly uncommon phrase, you'd need to supply the context. The only meaning I can tell you just from that phrase is the very literal one: if you bring your child više |

When I translate a song lyric into English I try to create an enjoyable text, not just an informative text, because it's a song, not an article in a news magazine. Also, song lyrics, like poetry, are više |

I've been trying to tell you what's been on my mind
Now I think that you and I have had our time

| Lyrics Please
Very nice! It reminds me of early Billy Bragg.
I Don't Mind
One last roll of the dice
To see if we can make this work twice, and
I've got everything I need

| Figuring Out the Words to a Rap
I think it's 'money love, playing game/get it, it's a world-wide thing.' But it is really hard to understand :) The rest sounds right to me. |

hmmm..... maybe I'm crazy, but my idea is that "dann bitte richtig" here means 'really leave all the way, don't half go and half stay,' rather than the more general 'leave in the right way, not in th više |

Nice job! Your English version sounds like a poem :)
You picked the wrong meaning for "Ruder." The thing that's actually in the water steering the boat is the rudder. In German the person steering više |
| Traduction anglais-francais
sort of.... it means how highly you value me, what you estimate my worth to be, or how much you esteem me. |
| You cheer me up
Talking to yourself while drunk or feverish would probably be called 'to rave,' so "it raves." |

Annette's version:
You have a great way
An up-to-date way
Of telling me you love me
It gives me such a thrill,
I know it always will
My head is turning,
And just from learning
Your estim više |
| To Love You
Nice job! Here are some nitpicky little suggestions :)
I think you lost the meaning of "woher es rührt." How about:
"OK, I guess I know how it all started
How an injury turns into something sick više |
| End of October, Begin of November
Thanks for translating this-- it's a pretty song! :) Here are my suggestions:
"It's the end of October, beginning of November" or "It's late October, early November."

Instead of comments, I'm just going to do an alternate version. |

Overall the second version is a little better.
"May I please hold your hand" sounds better in English.
"I'm mesmerized by you" is the correct way to say it.
I would go with the first version, više |

Nice job! :) It deserves to be perfect, so... "each other" is two words, and near the end there's one typo, "thing" instead of "think." |

I don't speak French, but I'm really hoping faire boom is Franglish for 'go boom' :) By the way, what is the red decoration on your suit coat? |

You did a good job with the English :)
"No more sufferings" sounds a little odd. I would prefer "No more suffering."
"Everything has relief" sounds strange. I would definitely put it differently više |

If 'vaietaan' is supposed to mean more like 'deliberately self-censored' here, you could say 'left unspoken,' 'kept unspoken' or 'held back.' |
