For Lee Jae Dong
Il miglior infestato

ZvT is the cruelest matchup, breeding
Zerglings from every larva, mixing
Claws and hellion fire, burning
Creep's roots with bullet rain.
Char keeps us warm, covering
Eggs in forgetful fire, feeding
Our little larva with transfusions.
Terran surprise us, coming over the Burning Rift
With a shower of pain; we swarm them with lings and banes,
And go under Dark Swarm, into their Command Center,
And drink blood, and infest an officer.
Bin gar keine Zerg, stamm' aus Koprulu, echt Terran!
And when we were larva, staying near the Overmind,
My overlord, he took me to the spawning pool,
And I was frightened. He said, Zxerghari
Zxerghari, the time is now. And down I went.
Under evolution, there we feel free.
We mutate, much of our lives, and go fight when we are asked to.

Where are the 'rines that rush, what armies grow
Out of this burning rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken tank lines, where zerglings leap,
And the bunker gives no shelter, the medic no relief,
And the dry geysers no sound of vespene. Only
There is death on this red rock,
(Come in under our shadow on this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
An Ultra at full speed striding behind you
Or lurker spines at evening rising to greet you;
I will show you fear of a baneling bust.

Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Terran Kind
Wo kann läufst du?

The german is wrong :-)

It should be:

Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Terrakind ("Menschenkind" is probably better)
Wohin läufst du?

ah i thought so. Would "Wo kann läufst du?" or specifically what would be a good translation of "Where will you run?" [4 syllables if possible]

Also, doesn't Menschenkind mean beloved or mankind? I was trying to say "Terran Child" specifically.

How you translate "Where will you run?" really depends on the context just like in English. If you mean run as in the physical activity it would be something like "Wohin wirst du rennen?". If by run you mean flee then it would be "Wohin wirst du flüchten?". So it will be 4 syllables either way :D
On the point of using "kann": kann comes from the infinitive "können" which means "can". So if you want to say "Where can you go?" then it would translate to "Wohin kannst du gehen?".
Menschenkind means literally human child but in sort of a poetic way. Terran child is a little tricky because the word terran doesn't exist in German. But terran means (of the) earth so "Erdenkind"/"Kind der Erde"/"Kind des Planeten Erde" would be okay I guess. If you want the Starcraft race Terran then maybe "Terranerkind" would be suitable. Hope that clears it up a bit. Good job by the way.

Thanks!
but none of those rhyme... >_<
Bah. The problem is i'm trying to ask the question sardonically. (as in, it's a zerg stating, "you can't run away, you poor little terran.")

Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind
Wo weilest du?

is the original, so i'm trying to keep as close to that as possible.
