Comments on: Why I don’t write lyrics in my mother tongue https://www.nadinedemacedo.com/en/music/lyrics-in-mother-tongue/ Tue, 10 May 2022 15:37:29 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Nadine https://www.nadinedemacedo.com/en/music/lyrics-in-mother-tongue/#comment-151 Sat, 18 Dec 2021 14:03:59 +0000 https://www.nadinedemacedo.com/?p=3313#comment-151 In reply to Joseph Rubiano.

There are different kinds of poetry. I’m definitely more into lyrics with fixed structure and rhyming schemes. I could never write a haiku or just some lines emphasizing the beauty of each word or having multiple meanings. That’s why I don’t call myself a poet. German just didn’t sound right, and my French is not good enough to do it justice. My command on languages changed drastically once I started thinking in the same language I’d like to write… not pondering too much about the vocabulary I use. So, the translation of this website and its posts are not 100% accurate, I just try to summarize the same content in the corresponding paragraphs.

I also wrote the lyrics for a song. It was in Spanish, but in English nope, never!
English is more flexible to express emotions, it’s not my mother tongue, but I use it to write and communicate through social media instead of Spanish.

It’s Interesting to know that you write your posts’ content in English first, somehow I had the impression it could be in German and then you translate them to English. But I wasn’t 100% sure about it, because the writing manner and the expression terms on every single line says another thing. Quite familiar typing emotions manners!

Cheers!
