Remember, fahdonne. I am a dovah of context. My English original is not as black and white as the direct translation. |

Probably no where near correct The sun sets at once The earth clothed in darkness like armour Guarding we warm with confidence When we cannot see the vogutsunvaar(don't know that word) (5th sentence not sure) To believe they are not there I tried.. XD |
The sun sets at once
The earth clothed in darkness like armour
Guarding we warm with confidence
When we cannot see the vogutsunvaar(don't know that word)
(5th sentence not sure)
To believe they are not there

Vogutsunvaar is literally "the monster(s) close by". |

Actually, Su, you are pretty close. A few lines aren't quite there, but a lot of it is pretty spot on. That last line of yours is correct. The second and fourth lines are almost correct (one word off for each). Frin, that is exactly what that word means, actually. Pruzah pel! I'm glad you guys are doing so well already! It means I didn't make it too hard for you guys! Haha keep working; you're already halfway there! ~Dez |

Not exactly whats written, but this is my best guess at what you mean:

Not exactly whats written, but this is my best guess at what you mean:
The night came in already.
The earth wears darkness like armor,
keeping us warm with confidence
when we cannot understand the monsters nearby.
Then isn't it harsh
To believe they are not there?

There is still time to attempt a translation, everyone! Pruzah pel. @onikmey, that is an interesting interpretation, though not exactly what I had in mind. I know that I said the poem is really contextual, but perhaps starting with a word-for-word translation might aid in deciphering it! Good luck, fahdonne. |

There are two days left to try a hand at translating. I have plenty of gold to go around, really. |

I would like to apologize to everyone who has participated in this little contest of mine. Unslaad krosis, tiid filok zu'u. I will post the winner and award them as such, as well as post the original English translation for all to enjoy shortly. |

Pruzah shul, fahdonne! I would like to announce the winner of the translation contest for March: Suahrkyol! Congratulations! Thank you to everybody who participated as well! I personally really appreciate it. I hope to see you all in my next contest. Lok Thu'um! |

And as promised, the original English for you all to see and enjoy. Darkness creeps in suddenly It covers the earth like armour Keeps us warm in this fact: If we cannot see the beasts close by It makes it easier To believe they aren't there. |
Darkness creeps in suddenly
It covers the earth like armour
Keeps us warm in this fact:
If we cannot see the beasts close by
It makes it easier
To believe they aren't there.

Even if we cannot keep up with your metaphors, these end reveals provide depth to our own translations as well. Sikiil bo kah, fahdon. |
Dezonikso April 11, 2016 |
Pogaan kogaan, fahdoni! I wish to continue this as a monthly thing. I'm glad my poems and writings help the community. |
Dezonikso April 12, 2016 |
I will try to be less metaphorical with the next one, though. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Frin. |
