I was just listening to some outrageous songs by Karen Zoid
Sabina: why outrageous?
me: crazy is the better adjective
10:30 PM Sabina:
me: you know her songs are so beautiful, baie mooi in Afrikaans, to the point that they teach her songs in Afrikaans classes in South Africa!
it's awesome
10:31 PM she sings in Afrikaans and english
what a beautiful, beautiful voice
Sabina: wonderful!
me: how's life in Tufts?
Sabina: ?
roman i'm not at tufts right now
me: right
ding dong
10:32 PM Sabina:
10:33 PM me: i sent one of her songs to your Facebook
it's called Engel and you can probably guess what it means in englsih
it's a cognate
10:34 PM Sabina: hmmm
i dont know how to lsiten to music on facebook
10:35 PM me: well go to your inbox
and it's like youtube
Sabina: yay!
10:36 PM me: it's beautiful, and if you need a translation, I give it to you, (but Afrikaans music is particulary hard to translate into English, even more so then most languages )
10:37 PM Sabina: why so?
me: it just the meter and the metrics are different, and the syntax can come out wierd
Sabina: oh thats true
10:38 PM me: so, anyway thanks for being such a beautiful person
Sabina: roman, you are always thanking me for that - and i have to thank you for being such an incredible leader and inspiring person
and thank you for being my friend
and showing me so much
10:39 PM don't know where 'd be without my buddy
me: I am just obsessed with South Africa, umZantsi Afrika, iNingizimu Afrika Suid Afrika and africa
it's my latest obsession
10:40 PM Sabina: i know, and its beautiful!
me: do you need a rough translation/
?
10:41 PM Sabina: i would love it!
me: Firstly it's about a very close friend, almost like a brother, who died from smoking too much
10:42 PM so what Karen is saying, you were such an angel to me, such a warm kind person, and I used to come to your house in Potchfestroom and be with you and love you for who you are, just please understand how this hurts me, and you will be in my soul for all four seasons
10:43 PM and Potchfestroom is in the northwest of SA
10:44 PM Sabina: thankee !
i was wondering about that
me: so isn't beautiful?
Sabina: breathtaking!
10:45 PM me: and I am basically sending this to you to say thank you for helping me out through all that depression and pain and suffering i caused you by hurting myself
it's honestly the best song for that
10:46 PM and in case you' haven't figured it out, Engel is Angel
Sabina: some things DO translate well
10:47 PM and roman, i truly and deeply consider it to be an honor to be your friend
and in all the times you were hurting, i just wish i knew the way to make it better, the way you make life less painful fo rme
but i just knew
10:48 PM that if i put my faith in your, and just stood by your side, you would come out of all this strong, full of life, full of love, and more ready than ever to take on the world in the most wonderful way
10:49 PM me: and it's also refreshing for BOTH of us that I am calling you an angel in the metaphorical sense,not the literal
10:50 PM Sabina: and i call you a hero in the literal sense
10:52 PM me: Tu eras persona mas carinosa, mas supportiva, y una dia tu hablas enfrente de Naciones Unidas sobre los conflictos civiles y digira todos nuestros necessitamos es amor
sorry, I wrote in spanish

10:53 PM you're such a compassionate person, very supportive, and one day you will speak in front of the United Nations about all of the civil conflicts and say all we need is love
Sabina: roman that's perhaps the happiest image i've had in a while - and something that will now become a big dream of mine...
10:55 PM me: and somehow it poured out of my mind in Spanish and not in Engliswh
i wonder why
but I love teaching you all these languages!
