In alto mari - Aavalla merllä - On the Open Sea

 

In alto mari

Viros velos ad vento dant,
nam in alto mari 
illos dolores et curas 
omittunt.

Aavalla merellä

Miehet lähtevät purjehtimaan,
sillä aavalla merellä
he tuskat ja murheet
unohtavat.

On the Open Sea

Men go sailing,
because on the open sea
they forget sorrows
and worries.

The Latin saying "Vela ventis dare" literally means to give the sails to the wind. 

Note

I have written the first version of the poem using Giuseppe Peano's Latino Sine Flexione. For verbs, I have followed the rules of classical Latin conjugation.

Latino sine flexione ("Latin without inflections"), Interlingua de Academia pro Interlingua (IL de ApI) or Peano's Interlingua (abbreviated as IL) is an international auxiliary language compiled by the Academia pro Interlingua under the chairmanship of the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932) from 1887 until 1914. It is a simplified version of Latin, and retains its vocabulary.

Ohto varria; Enough Heat

Here is one of my verses in Ingrian and English with my drawing.

 Hic es nimis calido.
Aestate pote ir ad ibi,
ubi pipere cresce.

Why Am I Sad, Cur triste sum

Why Am I Sad

Why am I sad?
Why can't I do anything?
Fate has stuffed me with ideas,
But has forgotten to give me
The resources.
Now, I walk and blame myself.
How happy would I be
If I thought less and I could do
More.

Cur triste sum
 

Cur triste sum.
Cur nihil facere possum.
Fato habet farcito me
cum ideas sed oblitterābat
dare ad me facultates.
Nunc ambulo et vituperō me.
Quam felice mi esseream
si cogito minus
et possum facere
plus.

My Guitar; Cithara meo

 My Guitar

My guitar sounds sad
While being without you.
It has lost a sense
Of sweet love.

Cithara meo

Cithara meo sona triste
cum re es sine te.
Id ha perdito sensu
de amore dulce.

It Is Impossible; Isto es impossibile

 

It Is Impossible

Every human being wants to be
free, but it is impossible.
If the leaf falls from the tree
it turns yellow.

Isto es impossibile (Latino Sine Flexione)

Omni homine spera esse
libera sed isto es impossibile.
Si folio resolve ab arbore,
id flavesce.
