Translation Trashbin - 25. Nel cor più non mi sento

A wonder full piece and your translation is so accurat and beautiful. Magnificent. Especially those lines: "Mi stuzzichi, mi mastichi, mi pungichi, mi pizzichi,"

In the Italian version the words sound like those tickeling needels and you acomplished in your translation  "You tickle me, you nibble me, you quibble me, you prickle me" to creat the same impression, even the languages sound so different. Awesome.

That makes me nostalgic, it was the first perfomanc translation I did in German, when we discussed it. :-) :-) :-)

I remember your excellent German version, which you should post! It was a while ago we worked on these, and recently I came here to listen to it, but discovered I had never posted it. So, no time like the present

Thanks, Lyssa 

How much fun this translation is! I hardly needed music to make the libretto come alive; your translation did that perfectly.

Thank you, Parker. These are great comments, and I appreciate them. I always have a goal of making my performance translations seem like they were written in English in the first place. Hopefully here I've gone a long way to reach that target.

Thanks again!

Is anyone better than Alfred Brendel...? I doubt it
