So as of 19th April and a little over two months since I began this project, twenty poems out of Till's fifty-two listed in 'Messer' are left. I've done over half of them, and as of April I have six months' worth of German language experience.
Not bad, I say. Not bad.
I don't know who is reading all of those poems, but I know links come from Deviantart, Facebook and other sites that link here. No comments have been made for any of my translations yet, though, and I would still appreciate some because I'm still so much of an amateur. But it's okay. I'd like to thank everyone for reading and appreciating Till Lindemann's beautiful poems.
My skills are very lacking, but still lots of people visit this blog and read my translations. That makes me very happy.
After I'm finished with the entire set, I think I may go back through some of the translations and re-translate/update them. As I discovered throughout the process of going through those poems, quite a lot of them can be linked to Rammstein songs as well (whether entire lines of poems making it into lyrics, or thematically similar), and I believe I might make a little note of those references too. And the rhyme scheme. I have a lot of work to do in that sense.
So, thank you very much, again. I will do my best.
