30 Oct 06 - 03:30 AM (#1871944) Subject: Translation from Italian Required From: GUEST,Dazbo I've got a mazurka written by Enzo Conti of Tre Martelli that I'm in the process of learning. It's called: Uacia-ch 'al-pianz Can some one please translate it into English for me and the correct pronounciation for it. Thanks |
30 Oct 06 - 05:24 AM (#1872006) Subject: RE: Translation from Italian Required From: melodeonboy I think that's written in a dialect (probably from Piedmont), not Italian. Yours pedantically! |
30 Oct 06 - 05:37 AM (#1872014) Subject: RE: Translation from Italian Required From: GUEST,Dazbo I'd thought that after I'd posted. The online translators I'd used didn't seem to recognise any part of the title. |

30 Oct 06 - 08:40 AM (#1872125) Subject: RE: Translation from Italian Required From: Cod Fiddler It means "Let him/her cry". It is indeed diallect. The formal Italian would be "Lascia che pianga". Richard. |

30 Oct 06 - 10:38 AM (#1872212) Subject: RE: Translation from Italian Required From: Cod Fiddler Definitely tears. |
