Offensamment égoïste

bonheur corrompant

Il prospère entre nous.

Hurtfully selfish

tainting happiness

it thrives among us.

Nice poem, although it some words aren't "liguistically" correct.

 

Douloureusement égoïste

Bonheur séduisant

Il prospère en nous.

 

In French, "Offensant" is preffered to "Offensamment". But, since it destroyed the rhyme, I've replaced it with "Douloureusement"

 

"Séduisant" can be used for both "Seductive" or "Tempting".

 

By no mean, I want this to be considered as diminutive, but rather as helpful.

Heh, I stink at french. The extent of my knowledge is how to describe people. Petit et grand, blond et brune, etc... Thanks for the feedback, though. I used a internet translator. It was originally a kaiku for my english class.. Ironic, is it not?

 

But when I learn more I will post here with things that I wrote first in french, this I promise.

That's fine with me. I'll never, ever judge someone upon the quality of his/her French as I know how capricious the tongue really is.

 

Your effort is commendable and I'll help you writing anything you need in French. :)
