И будет далекое с нами

Как перевести?

Ты загадай желание
Не расскажи его
И будет далекое с нами
A близкое так далеко

Bad poetry is even harder to translate than good poetry...

That quatrain doesn't mean much. "Не расскажи его" is very bad Russian.

P.S. Although it could be "мне расскажи его" which is not that bad... But it doesn't make two latter lines better anyway.

Yeah, it is bad, bad poetry.
You are a man of contrasts, sperk. One day, you post a piece of a poem by Rein, who is an excellent poet. Next day, you ask about some totally moronic pop song.

Anyway, that is what it says:
Make a wish
Tell it to me
And remote/faraway things will be with us
And close things will be so far away.

Как это значит "Tell it to me" если строчка начинается с словом "не"?

He-heh. :thumbs: Of course, not. It means "Don't tell it." And it's the ugly line.

На самом деле там "Мне", а не "не".

У меня такое ощущение, что sperk не прочитал мой пост... :roll:
