This is a short poem, the first I have written down him it was many years ago. Now I have found a good place for him.
Zitat:
Höfn
Hann sitja á höfn
Hann að bíða eftir gamall skip
Ekki gamall skip á komá
Bara nýr skip á komá
Núna er hann kerkling
Strakúr standa á Höfn
Óþreyufull horfa hann nýr skip
Óþreyufull var þá líka
Hann hlæja en fagna í andit
þó ert hjaran í dapur
Iridium

Very nice poem, but the I think the english needs a bit of a less literal translation from the original. The German versions sounds pretty good already, though.
Thank you for your reading and comment.
This is literal, because is it a word translation, with the nearly exaced word position.
Sorry to critic your english poem. The problem is not, that it is a word-to-word translation, which, by the way, is not always favourable, but the grammar is very wrong in some places. If you want me to correct some of it, tell me.
I like the German version. The Icelandic I cannot read. :(
If you read the german version you understand in the most cases the islandic. For example, Höfn = Hafen (Habour) / Hann = Er (He) / Sitja = sitzt (sitting) , a.s.o.
Sorry for my bad english in this poem.
I would resturated the originalty vers form for better translation, if you can understood one version you can transcription the other form this.
/e:
Sorry, this is not a translation, this is a transcription (a word-to-word copie in the other language without the structure morphing).
Well, for example, it needs of be "one boy" (ein Junge), once=einmal, zu einem vorherigen Zeitpunkt. Or "he is sitting" (es sitzt), insead of "er sitzen"... it just doesn't work and makes it very hard to read.
I sorry for being so picky.
Yes, this is so picky, but it is help me to learn! Thanks!
