translation?
i am struggling to directly translate things i write in Yiddish. i recently wrote a poem, but because it was typed out using the english alphabet, nowhere will translate it, and although i know what it means, i find it hard to translate into english still, and im not sure why, despite english being my first language. whenever i speak another language, i never associate it with english, if that makes any sense
Der himl bloy, der tog azoy klor,
di zun leygt gold af yeder flor.
Der vint geyt zingenedik durkh yedn boym,
un natur shloft nisht, zi troymt nor a roym.
Der taykh geyt shtil vi an alter lid,
un yeder moment vert sheyn un mid.
thats the poem, for reference.
