Sarah Karoline ---
Ja ti priznajem sve,
Sve je glupo sad bez tebe
I dok hladna kiša pada na grad
Tko zna gdje si ti sad?
moja ljubav si ti

Ovo je vrijeme bez milosti
Ti si divlja rijeka na putu mom
A ja te volim i s njom

Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee It looks Slavic, but some words, like bez, look very Turkic. Is this Bosnian?

All the words are very familiar
Tue, 2014-03-11 00:34:48 - #11 - ?208
Wrik Chatterjee
Wrik Chatterjee Oh yeah, it's Croat, since it's written in Latin and uses je.

Tue, 2014-03-11 00:35:48 - #13 - ?208
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven Could be Bosnian… what really makes it look Croatian is "tko" imho :p

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Anyway I don't have time to play this round. Uni is calling. I'll take a look later if it's still unsolved when I'm home later.
Tue, 2014-03-11 00:37:59 - #15 - ?208
Helene Wiinholt
Helene Wiinholt So I'm assuming 'Moja ljubav si ti' is something like 'You're my love'?
Tue, 2014-03-11 00:41:52 - #16 - ?208
Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven si.
Tue, 2014-03-11 00:46:58 - #17 - ?208

You(?) are(?) a wild(?) river on the street.

Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven Ooh nice work Wrik, that's some progress!
Tue, 2014-03-11 10:41:41 - #25 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline My apologies for being late :(, Anna and Wrik I didn't get notifications of our posts, only the post Billy wrote 25 minutes ago.
-----------
Key
[ ] Wrong word. .... [Word missing] { } almost there.

Anna: 100% perfect!
na grad = in the city [Perfect]
Gdje si ti = where you are [Perfect]
Ja te volim =I love you [Perfect]

Wrik: That's quite excellent! You've virtually done it!

I confess everything to you. [Perfect]
All is now stupid without you. [Perfect]
And [until] cold rain falls on the city. [Just one word to change]
Who knows where you are? [Perfect]
You are my love. [Perfect]

This is {merciless} [weather] [It'd be funny if it was about weather. There is more than one meaning of this word....]
You are a wild river on the street. [Perfect!]
And I love you [and] with her. [Just one word to change]
Tue, 2014-03-11 10:57:12 - #26 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Vrijeme can also mean "time", can't it? Like "tiempo" in Spanish or "temps" in french.
Tue, 2014-03-11 13:51:48 - #27 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Anna Yes, "vrijeme" is "time" :) :)
Tue, 2014-03-11 13:53:29 - #28 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins I remembered it from serbian "vremena" :-P
Tue, 2014-03-11 13:57:17 - #29 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Knowing some Serbian helps :) hahaha :) :)

Here is an update. There are only two words to go:
I confess everything to you.
All is now stupid without you.
And as cold rain falls on the city.
Who knows where you are?
You are my love.

This is time without grace.
You are a wild river on the street.
And I love you, [and] with her. [Just one word to change]
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:00:34 - #30 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Vincensiu translated that line way up there, at the beginning, as "This is time without grace."
Is he correct? Perhaps it escaped your notice!
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:01:32 - #31 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Vincensiu did translate it correctly. I hadn't noticed :( I'm not getting all notifications. Sorry Vincensiu
I'm going to read through all the posts...
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:03:19 - #32 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins I dok hladna piša pada na grad = And as rain falls on the city
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:06:08 - #33 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Perfect Anna
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:15:44 - #34 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins So is it just the very last line, then?
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:16:21 - #35 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Just "i" which is "and", but I'd use another word...
The singer is in love with X. X is with someone else.
"And I love you, .... with her"

[Big hint: " And I love you, - (when you are) with her" ] :)
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:18:29 - #36 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Maybe the singer is saying, she loves this person, despite when he is with the other girl....

"And I love you, also with her"
"also" in the sense of "even"
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:25:18 - #37 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline Perfect! I used "even", but "also" fits too.
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:26:36 - #38 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline So who will be the first to write this out? :) Anna Vincensiu A secret reader?
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:27:08 - #38 - ?208
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter You go girl!!
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:28:50 - #39 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins I confess everything to you.
All is now stupid without you.
And as cold rain falls on the city,
Who knows where you are?
You are my love.

This is time without grace.
You are a wild river on the street.
And I love you, even with her.
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:29:21 - #40 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline And we have a new winner (who FB won't let me tag!)
CONGRATULATIONS Anna!!!!!!
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:32:25 - #41 - ?208
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Anna, Congratulations for your third victory! :D
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:33:45 - #42 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline And to Billy for co-moderation when FB failed to notify me of new posts:
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:35:40 - #43 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline And for Vincensiu's Wrik's and Helene's work in this translation, I offer the following:
Tue, 2014-03-11 14:51:03 - #43 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Thank you Sarah and Vincensiu! Good work, everyone! Wrik as well :-)

All right, I'm a bit swamped with some things that need to get out of the way first, but I'll be back with a new round. Thanks for your patience!
Tue, 2014-03-11 15:28:58 - #44 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline It took me seven hours to find a text last night... :)
Tue, 2014-03-11 15:34:19 - #45 - ?208
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter I guess every spragspellers should be encouraged to get a text ready, so in case of unforeseen winning, a round would be ready immediately. :)
Tue, 2014-03-11 15:37:16 - #46 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins To be fair, I have an idea of what I would like to do. I just need to find a text to suit my purposes :-)
Tue, 2014-03-11 15:39:52 - #47 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins I was going for an audio round, but I can't record here. Vocaroo isn't cooperating, so I'm going to try again later. Sorry--I tried several hours ago, and it wouldn't work, so I may just have to type it out.
Tue, 2014-03-11 20:45:03 - #47 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Unfortunately, technology is not agreeing with me today when it doesn't have to do with circuitry, and I realise I'll be too busy to actually check in with you guys on this round. It would be unfair of me to leave you hanging for any more than I already have, so I'll let Helene come up with something evil to mesmerise you all ;) I will save my round for the next time I win.

Held og lykke!

Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo Wait wait, the game mechanics cannot support having a post of a non-winner player to start the next round...

What one could do is to get Helene's mesmerizing evilness in PM, and post it here...

Sorry for troubling :)
Wed, 2014-03-12 00:38:41 - #48 - ?208
Anna Robbins
Anna Robbins Oh, oops, thanks for that reminder, Arief! We'll do that, then. But what about audio rounds? Be warned, everyone :P
Wed, 2014-03-12 00:41:14 - #49 - ?208
Arief Wibowo
Arief Wibowo The evilness of audio rounds are welcome! :D

Or video round.... *looks at Vincensiu Dionisiu*

Billy James Brightraven
Billy James Brightraven Arief, go support! :p
Wed, 2014-03-12 00:44:47 - #51 - ?208
Sarah Karoline
Sarah Karoline I thought I'd provide some more interval music. This is the song from which I got the text for my round. It starts at 1.22. Cover your ears at 2.09-2.11... :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU8DK9XRors
Wed, 2014-03-12 13:08:53 - #52 - ?208
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter
Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Helene is probably as busy as you Anna :)
I actually wanted to post some youtube links here as an interval entertainment, but it seems that youtube is buggy atm :S
