But hey, you don't understand swedish?!? Didn't you watch Pippi, Emil, Vi på Saltkråkan and Ronja Rövardotter when you were a kid? I love R.R. That is actually one of my favourite movies - I'm not kidding!!But about poems... who understands stuff like that? I certainly don't.
From English to Norwegian --> It's probably the worst
language you can ever translate a poem to >
P Hehe.... Anyways, I understand Swedish, what I meant was that
I don't understand what all the words put together are
supposed to mean. What feeling they are supposed to
provoke. I read a poem and put a meaning to it, MY
interperation of it... Then I read what it's really about and
I am totally lost with my interperation >
P Of course it is a good thing to interperate thing in you own way, but it
would be nice to some day get it right! >
P Hehehe.... When you translate poems it's important to understand
them, so that you use the right words when you translate...
That's why I could never do it! >
) I'm such a looooserwhen it comes to poems, so I admire your translations
)
Here's one of the poems. I don't have very much time right now, so you'll have to do with the translations alone.

*Deltaö... hm, I didn't find the word in english. Maybe one can just say delta island...? Is that something in english?
**The exact word here isn't really song - kvad is a special kind of songs/poetry. Maybe I've explained it before, don't remember. Old scandinavian, common (amongst other periods) during the so-called viking age.
***These two word, vak and block, I'm not entirely sure about. maybe David Å can explain...
****maybe a weird way to put it, this. Body pale - pale as a body (corpse) Well, very pale, anyway!!

You called my name, master?
I don't know where you got the original poem from, so I can't comment on the correctness of the translation, but most of your other renderings were pretty much flawless to my knowledge.
* => Deltaö is exactly what you imply, an island in a delta. There is probably no exact word for this in English.
** => Kvad, or in a more modern form, kväda, simply means: dikta, sjunga, högtidligt framsäga. I´m not correcting you here, just filling in.
*** => Vak would probably be 'hole in the ice' (isvak in Swedish) and block, depending on the material, either a big rock (stenblock) or a pile of compressed snow maybe? Again, I don't have the original text.

David Å: Thanks! Then I can use this knowledge when translating further.
Translating these thing are very interesting to me personally, to, bacause I learn so much from it, both of english and swedish. And I love to learn

"Sjö" doesn't translate to "sea", no matter how close they actually sound. It translates to "lake". It's one of the common mistakes Swedish pupils learning English make (I'm not sure about the other way around, though)
"Sea" and "ocean" translate, in Swedish, to "hav".

*Didn't translate "fäller" and "sel". I was a little confused because "fäller" can mean more things than one in my own language, and I'm not sure if it means the same in Swedish; all of it, one thing or none at all. Anyway, I think it might mean "making fall" like just "falling" or as like making the prey fall when you kill it... Cannot remeber a word for that just now, and I don't have dictionary at hand, so this will have to do. Ask someone...!
**"Strålfång" is more than just "shine". Maybe like the front of it or sometnig, or something that "catch" the shine. We have word like that in norwegian; a "vindfang", which is something that "catch" the wind, to protect or so. I'm not sure, though...
***"Levnad" is something like living(a)/living conditions
****Don't know what "kostnär" means.

Hmm.... Was going to check the threads with translations to se what I (and others) had translated, but my firs translations weren't there anymore....
Anyone remember what is translated already? (not thinking of 'vintersorg translations'/'skymningsdans by otyg'/'more otyg translations') After all, there's no point translating something that's already translated.
Anyways: Are there some swedish folks who can help me with these words??

-vilsam (can it mean something like 'fortapt' or 'bortkommen'?)
-vinblottors klädedon är baldersbrå (baldersbrå; isn't that a plat of some sort? Don't know what it is in english, though)
-världsalltet (same problem; know what it means; have the same word in norwegian, but in english..?)
-drar sin banestav
-tidevarv ('tidsalder'?)
And oh, yes; drsm???? What the hell is that?? Thought it was a typing error, but everyhere I checked it said the same; drsm, and I don't have the cover booklet for Cosmic Genesis so I cannot chesk it up there. (It's from "Om regnbågen materialiserades", btw)

Wow thanks again...
Your posts are still there, just go to the bottom of the forum, where it says to show threads from the last 30 days, change it to the begin, click on go and then you will find your older threads with the translation.
I actually have to check myself, cause I don't have all the work you done sofar in my head.

-huld - something that shows mildness and devotion
-oförstellda - not trying to be something else
-solvargsgrin - the grin of the sunwolf, not a common word, rather a symbolic one...
-nav - hub
-rymd - space, can also mean that somethings is filled with space

-vilsam (can it mean something like 'fortapt' or 'bortkommen'?) - I´d say restfull.
-vinblottors klädedon är baldersbrå (baldersbrå; isn't that a plat of some sort? Don't know what it is in english, though) the clothes of vinblottor are baldersbrå (which is a herb that resambles oxeye daisy, I don´t have a clue about vinblottor though..)
-världsalltet (same problem; know what it means; have the same word in norwegian, but in english..?) - comsos, the universe
-drar sin banestav - that pulls his staff of death, symbolic.
