I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
Don't ask me what that means. I have no idea. I have a few notes in German and English, though, that kind of give me the general idea. The song called "Kush" (who) is Albanian. I am supposed to create matching English lyrics for it.
This is the original chorus (I added line breaks to make it easier for me to identify the meter):
si e marr po me dukesh,
per gjdo nate me zhdukesh
mos me bej magji
nuk jam une si aj
nuk jam
sie e marr pom dukesh
per gjdo nate me zhdukesh
mos me mbaj meri
sikur une ste don njeri
jojo
nuk te do njeri
And this is MY version of the chorus (I had to add or leave out a note here and there, yet the meter works nicely):
don't throw away our loving
like it had been nothing
you turn your back on me
you don't want to see
inside
was our love mere fiction,
love without conviction?
don't turn your back on me
let me make you see
inside
try to see inside
