Hello all, I need help from gatchmaniacs with native english Smile I`m making gatch video for youtube using russian retro song about pilots (I can`t help doing it, every time I listen to this song, I`m thinking about Eagle , LOL). I`m going to insert subtitles with lyrics in english, but worry about my translation. Can anybody help to correct mistakes, please? My version of the lyrics: «Because we're pilots» Friends, we are migrant birds, But our lives aren`t settled enough. We haven`t yet found wives on the ground, And it isn`t possible to find wives at the sky. Chorus: Because we're pilots, we're pilots, Sky is our sweet home. Planes we set in the first place. What`s about girls? Girls go next after planes. You imagine her face And want to give your heart. Today you met her, see her and fall in love with her, Tomorrow you will be ordered to fly away. Chorus You are remembering her tender gaze To not to be sad during your flight. Friends, we have decided not to fall in love Even with the most beautiful girls. Chorus Thanks! Smile

Hi Yul, Looks to me like you did a pretty good job! I put a few minor corrections in CAPITALS. I'm not shouting, I'm just trying to make them easy to see. Smile I like the lyrics; you'll have to be sure to post the link for youtube when you're done so we can all hear!
Originally posted by yul My version of the lyrics: «Because we're pilots» Friends, we are migrant birds, But our lives aren`t settled enough.

Planes we set in the first place. What`s about girls? Girls go next after planes. WHAT ABOUT GIRLS? You imagine her face And want to give your heart. Today you met her, see her and fall in love with her, MET IS PAST TENSE, SEE AND FALL ARE BOTH PRESENT TENSE. SO I THINK IT'S PROBABLY "TODAY YOU MEET HER, SEE HER, AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HER" Tomorrow you will be ordered to fly away. Chorus You are remembering her tender gaze To not to be sad during your flight. TO NOT BE SAD DURING YOUR FLIGHT Friends, we have decided not to fall in love Even with the most beautiful girls. Chorus

Since DH has been devotely watching this show, I thought this would be appropriate. Here's a linky: The History Channel's: DOGFIGHTS It shows exactly what these guys go through in both jet and prop-propelled fight planes.
