Unicorn

I am just like the unicorn
that, while looking, gets frightened,
when it considers the Maiden.
It is so glad of its discomfort,
that it falls helpless in its lap;
 
Lady, when I stood before you
and I saw you for the first time,
my heart trembled such a way,
that it stayed with you, when I left.
 
I am just like the unicorn
that, while looking, gets frightened,
when it considers the Maiden.
It is so glad of it's discomfort,
that it falls helpless in its lap;
 
Then it was brought, without redemption,
in the sweet dungeon, held a prisoner.
 
Lady, since I cannot delude,
might mercy be used at this time,
to make, so large a burden, bearable.
to make, so large a burden, bearable.
 
I am just like the unicorn
that, while looking, gets frightened,
when it considers the Maiden.
It is so glad of it's discomfort,
that it falls helpless in its lap;

Thank you for translating this and for submitting this song, when I saw it I was like "OMG, a song about a unicorn, I gotta translate it!"

Oh, and I have a small suggestion: it should be "her discomfort" and "her lap"because it refers to the maiden who gets nervous and in whose lap the unicorn falls asleep.

Haha...yes, it certainly fits you :)
and the translation is not mine, I don't even know old French - so maybe I'll just leave it as the source says.

Yes, I know it's not yours, you're honest enough to mention the source but I took a look at the French translation (I don't know old French either, it looks slightly like Modern French) and this is what it says. It's up to you if you change it or not but I just thought we might improve it :)

Actually, now that I look at it - even though my French is rusty as hell, I think "son" is a reflexive pronoun (or whatever it's called - I'm not that big on grammar either :)), which makes the current translation pretty accurate. It might not be the best translation, but I think it passes the correct meaning.

Licorna, why do find horses with a horn on their forehead so attractive? I mean, horses without horns are fine by my standards :P

Căluşarul, always the funny guy!

I do like horses and all kinds of animals and birds (I feed sparrows and pigeons everyday on my window sill, I feed and pet stray dogs and cats and even talk to them-the postman heard me once or twice and probably thinks I'm mad :D ) and I like insects too, especially butterflies and ladybugs, and I even used to save bees from drowning when I went to the countryside.
But I also like everything that has to do with the fantastic world because it’s like an escape from the harsh reality we live in and I’m particularly fond of creatures like unicorns, elves, fairies, talking animals (puss in boots is my favourite) that are impersonations of good, purity, wisdom and have magic powers.
Oh, it's already midnight in Romania, I should have gone to bed before the spell broke :p

Hmm... I used to read film credits and I always liked it when it said : "This film is based on actual events". I used to read fairy tales when I was a child, but later on, I couldn't watch films like "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter".

Dude, watch Harry Potter! :D

I'm too old for Harry Potter. It ran several times on television channels, but I didn't have the patience to watch more than 10 minutes.
I prefer realistic movies, dramas, documentaries. But I also appreciate unrealistic films that have a (higher) meaning: Wall-e, Delicatessen, Dzift.
It's like in music: I don't hate dance (entertaining) music, but I prefer to music that comes from the heart.

As someone else said, I haven't got to finish reading Dostoevsky :D But maybe I'll give it a try some time. Hopefully, art and entertainment are large enough for all of us and we'll never get bored if we keep on learning new things.

Well then, since it can be both, and the person who did it chose one option over the other - I'll just leave it as is.

Makes better sense to me too, but since the other option is also possible, I'd prefer not to tamper with the source. If you wish to upload your own version, I'd gladly take this one down :).
