>>> Somebody can translate this song? I can understand the normal/basic english but this have some unknown words for me. Help please..

anyway here is the song:

Thou dawdl'd not bringing me fro Æther to Nether,
Still, duringly cling I on to this heather -
Dew-scentéd blossom; thou wast pristine,
The sweven of thee ne'er will I cede, my colleen.
Drat this creature of memories ill,
Foolhardy and fey I may be, yet him I shall quell.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

Perforce and grinningly shall I maim in the vie -
Alas dastard! - hanging by the noose die.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

'Come not wont to this uncouth Devil!,
Lest to a Devil thou wilt translate...my Angel.

'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
Daunt - sinsyne thence,
Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

>>> What do you mean with full original text?, Those are just a song`s lyrics, there is nothing more than that.

oh... so the lyrics are Modern English mixed with Old English? That complicates things ^^ I thought you had partially translated the text and left the old english sentences in there O_O'' I'll get right on it then ^_^ and it's no problem at all ;p I'll have it tonight for you.
