When the world doesn’t fit you
Nothing much you can do.
Because the ball huge it is
just face yourself.

Cum mundus non fit (in Latin)
Cum mundus non fit
nihil potes tu facere.
Quod is ingens est
verum ipsum vince.

När världen passar inte dig

Eftersom bollen är enorm,
möta bara dig själv.

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 your this words, so true. Hard job the latin transaltion! I dont’understand the use of “fit” in latin. I think it means “happens” or “to be made”.

Thanks for your opinion. Fio, fiery, factum = to become, arise; to be made, to be done; to happen, Collins Latin Concise Dictionary, p. 88. First the end of the line was ’fit tibi’. But to whom else, it’s not to be made if not the person that the rune singer is speaking to. Of course the idea can be expressed with your suggestion ’non conformat tibi’ but with the different nuance.
Cassell’s Latin Dictionary, p. 248
Fio => (1) Of persons and things ’to be made, come into existence’ (2) of actions ’to be done’; of events ’to happen’ with ablative, Cicero: per aliquem fit quominus.
I hope this makes sense. When it comes to Latin there is no living native speaker to tell us how things should say in the living world. I have noticed that even the experts are not of one mind about Latin. Moreover, those experts are not keen on helping modern poets. They like to keep themselves upon the common people. I guess that has always been the case and that’s why Latin so fiercely turned into Romance languages. Don’t mind my reply because I am explaining to myself as much as I am explaining to you.
I’m looking forward to having your reply.
Have a nice and rewarding week 🎺💃🏿🎸

When I read the latin text I was moved by it. It’s wonderful to read Latin again by a living poet. Oh the experts! They study a lot, but what if they meet Catullo? The poetry is not in the books of latin grammar. Thank you for your answer, I understand and agree. 🙂

Coucou toi, mon Ami, Amie
Je viens déposer
Le soleil dans ton coeur
Ma douceur dans ton âme
Un ciel étoilé dans ton regard
Lorsque ton coeur
Parlera à mon coeur
Nos âmes brûleront ,d’une douce chaleur
Lorsque je viens te rendre visite
Il me semble que je prends ta main
Afin d’être unis d’une grande amitié Céleste
Agréable journée ou soirée belle semaine
Gros bisous Bernard

Hi—
I stopped by to thank you for the likes you gave to my two posts on the Mueller Report.
We Americans are so insular that I’m always pleasantly surprised when bloggers from far away express an interest in our messy politics.
And then I discover a retired Finn writing poetry in Latin. The blogging world is filled with delightful surprises, and I’m happy to make your virtual acquaintance.
Cheers,
Annie

No problem, it was my pleasure.
Yes, truth is stranger than fiction. Perhaps, it is a bit little more curious when I told that my parents moved to the USA in the early seventies and I have haft three times permission to move there, but at the last minute, I have changed my mind.
Yes, let us keep in touch.
All the best 🙂 🐻 🙂
