# # Found In Translation

Rating: 2.8


A song I loved

since I was a child

I never really

understood it

Till I had lived

and found the words

to translate it.

The song referred to above is titled 'Kahibulungan'
an anomymous love song which I translated into English in my poem 'Wonderment'

Very simply put, very profound. Good word choice too.

This seems very profound. I can tell it left a deep impression upon you. Sometimes we must wait years for the clue that we need, or to be able to take the steps to enable us to finally find some understanding that had eluded us.
