Hello, friends.
I have a small correction request for native English speakers.
I'm trying to translate a Russian song (anti-racist content) into English.
could you please correct my translation?
here's what I've got by the moment:
- I see someone is making your line to paradise longer
- everyone around is speeding down the highway, but you're on the shoulder
- who gets in your way? foreign workers?
- overseas students and all the like?
- without them, would your life have been an easy movie
- with a great beginning, middle, and end?
- and, would you be a dance sensation
- if it wasn't for your own 'distractions'?
PS
the last lines refer to the Russian saying, “a bad dancer always complains that his balls prevent him from dancing better.”
that is, a man always looks for the culprit anywhere but in himself.
thank you in advance
