Seeress

It's the seeress with the birds
Which laughs when we are crazy
It's the seeress with the birds
Which whisper open the chains
 
Look him in the eyes
Green, brown and blue
Look him in the eyes
See iris, see you, see me,
see yourself
 
It's the seeress with the birds
Which cuts the illusions
It's the seeress with the birds
Which walk around in the snow and write riddles
 
Attarinarina attarina attarina...
 
Look him in the eyes
Green, brown and blue
Look him in the eyes
See standing, constant,
through what is happening

Thanks for your work!

I think you translated some lines a bit too literal, not to mention, there are some metaphors that require a better adaptation into English for them to make sense.
I'm a bit short on time right now, so I won't scrutinize the entire thing, but one 'sore thumb' I found is :
Se iris, se dig, se mig,
se selv

I think it would be better off using "see" instead of "look"

Anyway, thanks.

Okay thanks, it was my third translation, started yesterday. It was kind of hard to translate, I'll edit the "look" to "see"
Thanks for response

And also if you have time, how could I translate "når vi ter os"?
