Help with translating poem for my family
Could someone please translate these few lines into Spanish? I would be very greatful.
Life is like a flower Life is like a tree Inside the flower is a Bee I am greatful for my life And want to live long and happy I do not want to be heart-broken Or never be sad I love the world around me I dream everyone to be free I want to help the hungry children I want to cure the world of its sin I want you to be a kind, helpful, giving person Then your life will be as meaningful as a tree. |

Hola, Mem: Sólo unas precisiones (tu traducción es inmejorable). I do not want to be heart-broken No quiero que me rompan el corazón (me parece que puede usarse la imagen y suena más natural) I want to cure the world of its sin Quiero curar al mundo de su pecado (creo que se refiere al pecado original, por eso lo pone en singular) I want you to be a kind, helpful, giving person Quiero que seas una persona amable, servicial y generosa Then your life will be as meaningful as a tree. Entonces tu vida tendrá tanto sentido como un árbol. Saludos |

Hola todos, meme, como siempre una traducción impecable.
Estoy de acuerdo con Carlos. Sin embargo podría otro verbo: I want to cure the world of its sin Quiero librar al mundo de su pecado En seguida he pensado en el padrenuestro: ...y líbranos del mal...

sedujeran
[quote=exxcéntrica]Todas las mujeres que sedujeran y llevaran al matrimonio a los súbditos de Su ... quote]
sedujeran doesn't seem to translate very well --- does it mean "would seduce?" |

You can say "sedujeran" o "sedujesen" in that case. Both are correct
Example: If you knew that man, you'd fall in love with him... Si tú conocieras/conocieses a ese hombre, te enmorarías de él You get it now? Best regards,
