Thread: Compliments and Clever Lines in Russian

Thank you for entering my life - Спасибо за то, что ты вошла в мою жизнь

Gramaticaly it's absolutely correct. However I think that this sounds better (more smoothly) without "ты": Спасибо за то, что вошла в мою жизнь.

Every night I dream of you - Ночам я мечтаю (тебя или мечтаю о тебе)!

Mmm... What variants did you try to use?

dream of
1) Каждую ночь я мечтаю о тебе.
2) Каждую ночь я вижу тебя во сне (or "во снах", "в грёзах").
3) Каждую ночь я вижу сны о тебе.
4) Каждую ночь ты снишься мне.

"Every night" and your way to translate these words.
По ночам... (put green parts of examples, wich are above)
Ночами...

Полны тобою мои грёзы.
Я верю: ты моя судьба.
Ни радость, ни печаль, ни слёзы
Не будят душу без тебя.

Ни + Родительный падеж? (Думаю) -> Ни радостей, ни печали, ни слёз ....
I don't understand how is translated the last sentence
... They will not the soul without you ???
Grammatically how is explained.

It's not that genitive requires ни, no. It's just when you have consecutive negations those не turn to ни and act as conjunctions, rather than particles.

Я не знаю ни тебя, ни его.
Он не умел ни петь, ни плясать.

As for "Не будят душу без тебя". I think you might be thinking that будят is to be, but it is not. It is a future form of the verb "будить", which means to wake someone up. So the author means that she's the only one who can wake his soul up.

I just realized that I fucked up a little bit. No, not the future form, but just present.
