About Yelling Rosa

I am retired. In my spare time I read, write, play the guitar and hike. I have published three verse books in Finnish and recorded my songs. You can listen to them on YouTube. I have translated some of my poems on Yelling Rosa's Weblog. I also like to watch movies. Olen kiinnostunut lukemisesta, kirjoittamisesta, kitaransoitosta ja luonnossa vaeltamisesta. Olen julkaissut kolme runokirjaa ja laulujani on äänitteillä. Voit lukea runojani Yelling Rosan kotisivuilta ja kuunnella laulujani YouTubessa. Olen elokuvafriikki.

      Thank you for commenting.
      Unfortunately we forget the simple truths
      and carry coals to Newcastle,
      or search for ourselves on the top of the Himalaya.
      That’s why this little verse for me and you.
      Take care

    Hej, kan det möjligen översättas till svenska så att “lever kvar” är detsamma som “överlever”.
    Att överleva livet är väl inte det sämsta. Hälsningar Britta

      Hejsan

      Tack för kommentaren. Vad säger du om den här versionen:

      Varje gång
      du besegrar en dag
      vinner du,
      och när du dör
      överlever du från
      livet.

      På finska det går ”När du kastar livet på rygg” och så vidare, men det är kanske för mycket. På finska det låter inte så dramatiskt därför att vi har ett verb för ”kasta ngn/ngt på rygg”.

    Hej, det låter fint som poem men att överleva kan man inte göra från något utan bara någon eller något. Men lyssna inte 100% på mej, det var klåfingrigt att ge mej in i ditt skapande. Jag har själv 0 begåvning för poesi. Tusen hälsningar Britta

      Tack för att kommentera igen.
      Det spelar ingen roll. Jag var inte nöjd med det första svenska version av min vers. Ny är den bättre. Jag bläddrade i Internet och träffade många artiklar som använde orderna ”överleva från ngt”. Men det är kanske bättre svenska att man säger ”klara av livet”. I skolan analyserade lärarinnan inte nyanser som verben har.

    Wonderful photography, and the last lines “when you die you survive from life.” holds such great wisdom.

      Multe gratias pro tu affabile parolas e le rosa rubie.
      (Io spera que non resenti a causa de Interlingua sed io pote usar lo sin le translator, de tempore in tempore sin le dictionario. Interlingua es le ponte al neolatin linguas e sape que io ha probabilemente satis de tempore a lo apprender. )

    I really relate to the feeling that every time you make it through the day you win. It reminds me so much of the many years I’ve suffered from severe mental health problems and getting through each day was a terrible struggle. When I had severe OCD and was doing crazy checking rituals 10 hours a day I would collapse into bed exhausted at 5am and would just feel like dropping to the floor and screaming every day. Each day was a marathon.

      The reason for this tiny little verse is that we can’t do more than we are and when we have made the day through we have given our best. This time is making us guilty even of being ourselves. We poor people let us be provoked and trying to be something better than we are and pointing out fellow men in order to lift our own egos higher. This is a road where some of us lose their identity and where most of us are unhappy. The human is a herd creature on the pasture where everyone should have own little spot and meaning not only the lord of manors. If we learn respect ourselves and fellow men we are better prepared when our days are counted.
      Take care 🙂
