Long time that she lives in a tale
which doesn't want to leave,
charming she sleeps with the pillow
and forgets about laughing.
Some say that she is the witch,
with stiletto heels,
is allied of Lucifer.
Some tell that she was the star,
but the bottle,
gets rid of her until to go mad.
Stop my fairy
invited star,
victim from unlove,
go up to the car,
queen of night,
forget your bad mood.
Bewitched lives enchained
to an old TV,
a lot of ideas
tell that she was muse
from some mediocre painter.
All was a waste,
queen of the night,
Who saw you in the past and who sees you now?
Some say that you are sexy
glittering star
but the bottle got rid of her power.
This is my witch
with stiletto heels,
victim from unlove,
hurry up, wrap yourself in the breeze,
forget your bad mood.
This is my fairy,
revenge's games,
victim from unlove....Lyrics

(1) better: did her in
English doesn't have a good word for "desamor". I gave you some options.
"desamor" is really a poetic word. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCould you write the whole sentence in (1)?
Some say that she was a star, but the bottle did her in until she went mad.
ReplyDeleteOn seeing this, I no longer think "did her in" is appropriate. It's synonymous with "killed her" and "killed her until she went mad" doesn't make sense.
Better:
Some say that she was a star, but the bottle dragged/pulled her down until she went mad.
I like that because "dragged/pulled her down" extends the "star" metaphor.
What about "but the bottle destroyed her down until she went mad"??
ReplyDeleteWe don't say "destroy down" and "destroy" has the same problem that "did her in" had -- it is a complete action, not something in progress. You could say "the bottle was destroying her until she went mad".
ReplyDeletelooking at the structure "Long time, no see" I wrote "long time that she has lived..."
ReplyDeletethen why is it wrong?
"Long time, no see" is not grammatical English; it's just a greeting. Don't use it as the basis for anything!
ReplyDeleteThe grammatical form would be "It has been a long time since I've seen you!"
ReplyDeleteThanks, a native Australian told me this expression and I took it in my memory. I have to take care
