HELP ME WRITE A SONG!

NOVEMBER 3, 2009, 3:56 pm

To my fans who speak different languages around the world:

I am attempting to write a little song in many languages and i need your help. The song is about communication and love... of course!

If you're willing, please send back to me the following phrases translated, along with where you're from. If you speak a "picture" language, like Japanese, it would be great if you could write the phonetic version as well as the picture version. (and if you have any tips of pronunciation, that would help me too!!)

1. CAN YOU HEAR ME?

2. HOLD ME

3. TOUCH ME

4. SPEAK TO ME

5. I LOVE YOU

Thanks! I love you guys...

1. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
---> わたしのこと聞こえる？ (Watashi no koto kikoeru?)

2. HOLD ME
--->ぎゅっとして (Gyutto s***e)

3. TOUCH ME
--->わたしに触れて (Watashi ni hurete)

4. SPEAK TO ME

Sun, 08/15/2010 - 01:26 — WeAreGolden

1. CAN YOU HEAR ME? ( the romanian translation of rcopu translated again in english is : ''do you hear me?'')
- Poţi să mă auzi? (correct)

2. HOLD ME (like rcopu)
- Ține-mă.

3. TOUCH ME (like rcopu)
- Atinge-mă.

4. SPEAK TO ME ( the romanian translation of rcopu translated again in english is : ''you speak with me''- more like an affirmation )
- Vorbeşte cu mine. (correct.That ''e'' makes all the difference.Now is more imperative)

5. I LOVE YOU (like user rcopu)
- Te iubesc.

I dont know to explain how the words are pronounced.Maybe rcopu sees this and he writes the pronunciation for an english speaker.

>1. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
==> "Kannst Du mich höhren?" (thats the correct translation, but doesn't sounds very harmonic) better should be: "höhrst Du mich?"

>2. HOLD ME
==> "Halte mich"

>3. TOUCH ME
==> Berühre mich"

>4. SPEAK TO ME
==> "Sprich mit mir"

>5. I LOVE YOU
==> "Ich liebe Dich"

>Thanks! I love you guys...

3.TOUCH ME
Dotkni sa ma
Pronunciation: There's nothing special Smiling

4.SPEAK TO ME
Hovor so mnou
Pronunciation: In that word "Hovor" you pronunce "r" not like englishman, but more like in Spain, or like Bart when he says "Ai Carramba!"

5.I LOVE YOU
Milujem ťa
Pronunciation: ť= IDK how to explain that little weird letter, becouse, I have never ever heard it in English... It's like when you put your tongue onto place behind your up teeth and try to say ordinary T

I hope I helped Smiling

Pieces of buff cloth are effective in cleaning jewelry that is dirty & dusty. These pieces can be bought at a local jewelry store. Fashion jewelry,Silver Tiffany bracelets, necklaces & chains have a tendency to lose their shine with repeated wear. Immerse your jewelry in some cleanser & then wipe it tidy with a piece of soft dry buff cloth & watch the shine return.Tiffany BraceletsNever ever make the mistake of putting all your fashion jewelry in to six bag or six compartment of a jewelry box. This could be fatal. It is important to recall that while jewelry is storedTiffany Earrings it tends to rub against six another, thus causing scratches, removing plating etc. Fashion jewelry must be categorized & stored so that pieces do not get entangled & entwined & destroy each other. Always keepTiffany Necklaces the newer jewelry separated from the older ones.

Mon, 04/12/2010 - 06:47 — SuzyQ85

Hey Lenka,

First of all: what a wonderful idea! As a language freak I can only say: Hurray! (Hmm, didn't mean for that to rhyme, haha).

Anyway, I saw there were two people who posted Dutch translations of the 5 phrases already, and although overall very good, I did notice that both posts translated "1 - Can you hear me?" as "Kan je me horen?" But this use of "kan" is a 'wrong' inflection of the verb "kunnen". It should be "Kun je me horen?" Although "kan" isn't intrinsically wrong (it can be used in speaking language) it does sound a little off. At least to my ears. Hope it helps!

Also, just wanted to add that I love your music, voice, and style, and can't wait to hear the finished song!

Greetings from Haarlem!

Hi Lenka~ I'm your big fan who live in South Korea. I really love your sweet voice. I first heard your song 'Knock Knock' through Korea radio broadcasting. I was so happy that I found the voice that I've been looking for. Then I searched about you via Internet. You were so beautiful as well as your songs. I love all of your songs, especially 'The shock' and 'Knock Knock'. I want my friends to hear your wonderful songs.

American Sign Language (ASL)

Mon, 03/08/2010 - 17:11 — JoelM

Hello,

I'm a sign language interpreter (ASL/English/Spanish) and I was thinking, if you make a music video for this song, you can add manual languages in addition to spoken langages. I can help you develop or answer questions of the ASL version if you are interested.

You can use this website for the vocabulary: http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi

Please, if you DO use ASL, please remember to use correct ASL grammar and not English grammar. If you sign it using English grammar it would kinda kill it...

You can contact me if u have any Qs.

Later!
