Customs

Tell me about yourself,
tell me, about your life.
 
You know well
that I'm convinced
that you can't
even so you try to forget me.
 
You'll always come back
time and time again
time and time again
you'll always come back
even though you don't feel
love from me anymore, only rage.
 
I don't have
anything to feel either
and that's worse.
But I miss you,
I miss you too.
 
There's no doubt that it's true
that customs are stronger
than love.
 
I know that you can't
even though you try to forget me
you'll always come back
time and time again
time and time again
you'll always come back.
 
Even though you don't feel anymore
love from me, only rage.
 
I don't have anything either
to feel, and that's worse.
But I miss you.
How I miss you.
 
There's no doubt that it's true
that customs are stronger
than love...

Maybe my ignorance doesn't allow me to understand the why for such a low rating(1 star). For compensation, here are 5 stars :-)

I think it's safe to say that star awarding has nothing to do with quality in this site. :)

I'm not sure why this got a 1 star, sure the user missed a couple of things that could probably be worded a little better, some footnotes here and there for any parts that were a confusing, but not worth the 1 star. Maybe 3-4 stars for the work and effort, the user clearly has an understanding of both the language and the song.

However, I don't think it should be given 5 stars just because you think it didn't deserve 1 star. If anything, an admin should be notified that this is an unjust rating and the rating will be removed, you could have also left a comment with any suggestions or given the admins a comment about the quality of the translation, and how at the most if should have a x amount of a vote.

Also I'd like to point out the 1 star vote is ridiculous, on our FAQ it states in 8.1 the following: 1 - terrible, just like a machine translation (see 2.3 What about Google Translate service and other machine translations?). It’s so bad that it shouldn’t be published on this site.

It's not a GT translation either. If it was, then damn GT is getting better :)

It should be too hard to notify each questionable rating, I guess ;-)
I prefer to leave my five stars,in order to get an acceptable average

I've let the admins know either way, the 1 star isn't fair even if the user has been inactive since 2012. I'll come back once I'm done with a couple of things with any suggestions if they should ever come back to LT, and my own rating afterwards.

love for me anymore, only rage.
