#retranslated

Btw, it felt so strange reading this story again after all this time. I'm not sure I'd write it the same way today, but I do think it deserves a better translation.

Two years ago, I didn't have the same tools I have now, and looking back at the old version, I realized the translation is simply weaker in some places than I'd like it to be.

We hope you like it!

So cold is the wind, it blows your hair Zofra — vuli, sul vjaasi

So warm is your touch upon my skin Zotopi — tvosi ööžöšt

How tired am I of being scared Vi h’vesinu sdrekaik

But how awake am I now that I know you’re here A vi h’vudę, itä ð’eś my

‘Cause I’d rather fight with you than laugh with another Ga śða ařčeðju, helö śin nauv

I’d rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers Arasit jääžyðjü, helö laaʻarau topi

And I’d let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor Y koreðju ðyð uš prauv, doki imekoreðju ðyð lottak prav

And I’d rather choke than to breathe in your absence Y tueðju, helö vsluučansi onjev

I’d rather feel your wrath than feel another’s passion Szeëgnihsi vroiðju, helö vneži ina vroiv

And I’d rather die on the day that I give you a kiss Y svaik, iko ðai syno daju, sjoriðju,

Than spend the rest of my life knowing I never did! Helö vkinev leiv ajua ksoję, niisyul jj!

So just hold me and tell me that I’m everything you need Zo eśhaïka uš y zavaka še kei, ša ðiriša, eka eh

Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I’ve been dying for ain’t out of reach Zavaka še, ša ðoohtisraža ðaja, skijoto sjoru, eï zökäziü

So if you’re looking for some proof that there’s a heart inside of me Zo eśśaša djaitai, ša da sęra užze,

Then lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak Jo pišeka umisit uhasko y zeista ek navučev

And I know you’re not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand Y ð'etyš my, a haïven ðaš, iko šteju,

‘Cause I am living for your touch but I would die to be your man Ga skitvosi žyu, a sjoriðju juv veksi

Let me look into your eyes like I am searching for your soul Zeizu simsini, vi eśśaju skiyšsi

Wrap my arms around your waist like it is dying from the cold Väriz ara vöödäsiäkä, vi sjor fraað

Run my fingers through your hair like they are water from the drain Davez umit vjaasilli, vi he vossi renöšö

Press my lips against your back like they could take away its pain Druuz hjaki viľasitan, vi atvzi ksoiia

And to give you everything, there is nothing I won’t do Y davj ðai kei, da kai ešuðin

Dump my heart into a blender just to pour it out to you Kidaðju sęra selkan, zo eśliitiivj ek ðak

And I know you’re feeling tired. Just let me hold you for a bit Y myvroiša vesinu. Eśhaïzu ðaš skikti

Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips Sukeïz ksvi riisoskaš, kiksi jevroiven hjaki jj

Well, I know that you think I’m kind of odd No, ksaju, ša kyss h’taksitaski

But if your love was a mountain, I swear that I’d climb to the top A raisi jubs beëk, jaškuju, ša tegaðju ðork

I would tell you, “You’re lovely and everything I’ll ever need, Eh ðai ðuso: „Ð'krüv y kei, ša imeðirin,
