That happens with songs, too... I said "in vain" because, a) my French is not so good, b) songs also happen to rhyme, which can be a tough thing to pull off even in your native language. So I sometimes want to actually get down to it seriously and once and for all make a definitive translation and "correct" my restless subconscious...
Yeah, it'd be pretty weird if you matched these... "symptoms". Well, anyway...

I think it would be interesting to translate an English song into German once I get good enough at the language where I can do that, maybe I should make that a goal for myself, a long term goal, but still a goal.
