<p>Hailai allai.<br>
<br>
I regret that I do not know the author's name, but The Sound of Silence, as <br>
he has translated it into Gothic, looks good to me. However, I have not <br>
ventured to try singing it to its tune. The composition, and the literal <br>
English translation provided with it, are appended to this email. Since there <br>
are a few invented terms it would be nice to be provided with a discussion <br>
of them. Apart from that I offer a few comments, which should be carefully <br>
scrutinised, since they may be wrong.<br>
<br>
I think the construction in lines 5-6 should be amended to "soei in huga" <br>
etc; or if "so" is allowed to stand then "was" should be dropped.<br>
<br>
In the fifth line of verse 2, I suspect the word for stabbed was meant to <br>
be "stugqana", and in the next line "split" should be represented by <br>
"disskaiskaiþ": the Goths do not seem to have let themselves off reduplication in <br>
the preterite when a verb of Class 7 had a prefix: consider, e.g., <br>
fralailot, the preterite of fraletan. If the indicated change would mess the rhythm <br>
up, not to mention its being awkward to pronounce, it might be reasonable <br>
to drop the dis- prefix, since "skaidan" by itself seems to have had <br>
something like the required meaning.<br>
<br>
In verse 4, if "galeiko" governs a dative, its second occurrence would have <br>
to be followed by "rigna dumbamma". Possibly this would make the line <br>
rather full of syllables. If so, then the problem might be cured by using "swe" <br>
rather than "galeiko"; for in all the relevant examples I have managed to <br>
find, the word acts like a conjunction, and so there would be a choice <br>
between "rign dumb" and "rign dumbata".<br>
<br>
In the fifth line of verse 5, the reference to a prophet has been <br>
overlooked; and was the use of "writanona" deliberate rather than from an <br>
involuntary thought of English? I think the expected word would be "melida" or <br>
"ufmelida".<br>
<br>
In the last line I think "auhjodjuns" should be "auhjoduns".<br>

Sounds Of.silence<br>
<br>
Hello, darkness, old friend my<br>
I.came again to.talk with you<br>
vision for creeping softly<br>
left while I.slept seeds its.<br>
And vision the in mind my<br>
planted was, until this.time is<br>
in sound the of.silence.<br>
<br>
In dreams restless I.walked<br>
alone. Streets narrow of.stone<br>
under glow of.lamp.<br>
Collar against cold damp.and I.turned.<br>
When eyes my stabbed were by flash the of.new-light<br>
that night split<br>
touched.and sound the of.silence.<br>
<br>
Then in light the naked I.saw<br>
ten thousand of.men maybe more<br>
People they.talk without speaking.<br>
People they.hear without listening.<br>
People they.write songs they.that never voices shared.<br>
And no one dared<br>
to.disturb sound the of.silence.<br>
<br>
I.said: Fools, not know you.all<br>
silence like cancer grows.<br>
Hear words my that I.might.reach you!<br>
Take arms my that I.might.reach you!<br>
But words my they.fell like rain silent<br>
and they.echoed<br>
in wells the of.silence.<br>
<br>
Then.and people they.bowed they.prayed.and<br>
to new-god it.that they.named.<br>
And sign it.flashed its warning<br>
in words the it formed.<br>
It.said.and sign: words.of.the.prophets the on walls of.subway written are<br>
and of.house halls.<br>
And they.whispered sounds the of.silence<br>
<br>
