It's part of a song...
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Love bites, love bleeds
Love lives, love dies
Love begs, love pleads
It can't be love if you throw it about
Thank you...
Oh, and it's for a tattoo....

Here's a version straight from the dictionary - I'd definitely wait for other ideas
An dtugann tú éitheach i gconaí An ndeireann tú go mairfidh sé go síoraí Cailgeann an grá, cuireann sé fuil Maireann an grá ach básaíonn sé Impíonn an grá 'is pléann sé Níl grá ar siúl agat nuair a dhéanann tú dochar dó As you can see, Irish versions of short snappy English things don't come out the same way - maybe you would like to pick out the most important couple of lines to you and we could work with that? Just an idea. Once, as a child, out in a field of sheep/Thomas Hardy pretended to be dead/And lay down flat among their dainty shins.
In that sniffed-at, bleated-into, grassy space/He experimented with infinity/His small cool brow was like an anvil waiting For sky to make it sing the prefect pitch/Of his dumb being, and that stir he caused/In the fleece-hustle was the original Of a ripple that would travel eighty years/Outward from there, to be the same ripple/Inside him at its last circumference. |

That's what I did, was pick out just the parts I wanted... I knew that they wouldn't come out as short, so I kind of wanted it that way... I want it to take up a good portion of my upper back, so it being long is not an issue...
I used to be on here under a different name, but I couldn't remember my login or anything, so I just started over... I've been trying to learn, not too well obviously, for about 2 years now... I've just been kind of poor, so I haven't had the opportunity to get any books or tapes or anything... I'm rambling, sorry! |

That's going to be one big tattoo
