ISBN : 1-905126-77-8 Price : £4 + £1.99 p &p
Poems in German Lieder are often naive, sentimental and romantic. Love sick "loons" pining for heartless "quines", sitting around gazing into rivers admiring sunsets, but as the German "cowps ower" so readily into the Doric, working on the translations became for me an indulgent exercise; the opportunity to revisit much loved songs and to translate them into a dialect I love and want to contribute in some small way to its preservation.
