Die Kaffeetasse

Auf einem Tisch die Kaffeetasse,
dass sie der Welt Geheimnis fasse.
Ob sie halb voll, ob sie halb leer,
das kümmert sie erst dann nicht mehr,
wenn sie nur etwas kleiner wär'!

כוס קפה

כוס קפה על השולחן
דבר אחד יודע כאן
לא על חצי מלא או ריק
זֶה знает каждый человек ,
הסוד הוא !keep your size in check

Vera, [@Vera Jahnke] just having fun - a translation into a combination of three languages. Actually, that's how we really spoke in our family circa '94 when we just moved from Israel to the US...

Haha, words are really like sokker-stars - if they are good, you want to have them in your team! 😄

David [@david_kotler], I just wanted to invite you here but my invitaiton would have been late ;-)

Haha thanks Igor, this way of speech is all too familiar :). Just one thing, obviously I don't know any German, but it seems to me ידוע would make more sense than יודע in the second line?

Depends on how you look at those lines - the second line continues the sentence started in the first and יודע is the verb of that sentence.

>this way of speech is all too familiar
I have an idea: why don't we create/announce a new language and monopolize the translations to it ;-)

Well, if you boldly transgress all (language) boundaries to create this ingenious all-star-translation, then I can also transgress the rules to give you the deserved stars, even if I only know 1 Hebrew letter: Shin - my special darling (🖖💗).

Not to transgress is to regress,
Чихали мы на mainstream press
И кто сказал, что more is less?
We would not want a total mess,
Но цель то помним - to impress!

Yes, the language of the future. And Igor is a visionary ...
