VERSE 1:
your life was a drag
filled with chores and duties
just because you
were the kid in a world
of adult rule
you were supposed to function
and obey
they suppressed your weak
attempts
to lead your own life
...
VERSE 2:
one day you packed your
things to leave Pa and Mum
you hit the road
to find your path
towards the sun
no-one barring you from reaching
for the sky
for once you'd be free
(and) on your own
to lead your own life
I edited and re-edited the verses until they matched the tune as closely as possible. The Albanian language seems to be much more expressive than the English... I came up with the word "function" because it comes very close to what I'm hearing in the Albanian version, and I had put it in the dummy text I was using. The varying line lenghts didn't seem to leave much opportunity for rhyming, so I didn't try too hard. "you" and "rule" might be considered a half-rhyme, as might "Mum" and "sun" - I actually put in "Mum" because of this. Unfortunately, the 'rhyming' structures of the verses don't quite match.
I'll leave it at that for the time being and wait for Flamur's response to what I've written so far.
