Sólin skín í heiði - það er komin nótt

Anna Robbins Oops, way late response 
I was doing circuits again.
Billy and Sarah, sorry, I somehow misinterpreted Sarah's response!
I shall listen later

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter draft word to word translation for the Icelandic part
sun shines in heath - that is coming night
Stand at middle [hraðbraut] - Anyway is everything so silent
Nature is roaring

Andy Ayres Here's my first guess. The weird translation of dundur came from a Danish-Icelandic dictionary, not sure it's close!
The sun shines in the desert: night has come.
I stand in the middle of the motorway; yet everything is quiet.
Night is drawing birds(?!?)
And too many litres of water flowed past ____ and the Cathedral.
But even empires burst, only by/in/at ____, __________.

Sarah Karoline Sorry for lateness again. Computer problems
Vincensiu:
[ ] sun shines in [ ] heath - {that} is coming night
[ ] stand [at] middle [hraðbraut] - [Anyway] is everything {so} silent
[Nature] is [roaring]
* Hint: Minor change of word order in sentence 1's and sentence 2's second clause.
Andy:
The sun shines in the [desert]: night {has come}.
I stand in the middle of the motorway; yet everything is quiet.
[Night] is drawing [birds(?!?)]
And [too] many litres of water flowed past [and] the Cathedral.
[But even] empires burst, only [by/in/at ____, __________.]
Hint: * It might be easier to translate "blevv et bei"

Colognian
Andy Ayres Found a colognian dictionary! Sick is apparently linked to seite, so could sickdämm be related to seitdem? Blieve is apparently bleiben, so is blevv bei perhaps the past tense of beibleiben with a vowel change? :). Mer = like Luxembourgish mir/Standard German wir?
The sun shines in the heath: night has come.
I stand in the middle of the motorway; yet everything is quiet.
Dusk? is drawing.
And so many litres of water flowed past the cathedral since then.
We saw empires explode, only {edit} in Colognian, does it continue there.

Helene Wiinholt In heath the sun is shining - It is already night.
I stand in the middle of the freeway, still everything is silent.
Nature's doings.
I'm a bit distracted by dinner and the OL. xD

[Dusk?] is [drawing].

Helene: First of all "hello".
In [ ] heath the sun is shining - It {is} [already] night. (tense!)

Nature's [doings.]
[ ] = missing word. {} = close, check tense.

Nature is whiling away the time.
And so many litres of water flowed past the cathedral since then.
We saw empires explode, only with Kölsch does it stick here.
Edit - Or: we saw empires explode, only with Kölsch, because it remains?
Is the missing word Kölsch, or is it a word in Colognian, as I'm a tad confused as to which now

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I think it's

Nature's echo

Andy Ayres Huzzah :D! First win in a while :p.. as such, I'm a little unprepared. Will try to find a good text now!
Anna Robbins Oh, good. wasn't sure if you meant for us to then retranslate into something else and then record ourselves struggling
wasn't sure if you meant for us to then retranslate into something else and then record ourselves struggling Sarah Karoline Andy: I was unprepared too!
Anna: I had considered asking for a translation of my vocaroo babble... Perhaps next time, were I to ever win again!
Even better I could ask for Kölsch recordings. That is a new form of evilness. I like your thinking

Andy Ayres It was a good choice, Anna! Shame I'd seen it before, as would have liked to have joined in (it was one of the things shown to me during my first time in Poland as proof of my host's belief that his language was impossible for foreigners to master :p
Sarah Karoline I hadn't seen the Polish text before, but I was absorbed in meeting a deadline for work at the time, so I couldn't take part.
