Unromantic Language

Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
03/Oct/2005

I was eating a Baci chocolate (we bought a huge box of them for £1 from Nuneaton Market - they were slightly out of date but taste fine). I read the quote inside:

Mit einem mal denke ich an dich, und Liebe erhellt meine Welt.

It sounds so much more romantic in English.

Suddenly, you are in my thoughts, and love lights up my world.

German is such an unromantic sounding language. No wonder they need so much beer. It must be very difficult to woo someone when you sound like that.
