English/Italian Translation

magic1234 · 06-16-2008, 08:58 AM

My Italian nephew and his wife are expecting their first baby any time now. I would like to send a card of congratulations. Also can this verse on the card I have bought be translated

Congratulations on the birth of baby Davide I am so happy for you all and I cannot wait to see and hold the baby in September.
With much love to you all.

(verse on card) May he have dreams to wish upon
And happiness a lifetime long
May God bless and quide him always

grazie mille
Tina

Congratulazioni per la nascita di Davide; sono felicissimo e non vedo l'ora di vedere e tenere tra le mie mani il bambino, a Settembre.
Con grande amore a tutti voi.

Possa avere sogni da sognare
E felicità per tutta la vita
Possa Dio benedirlo e guidarlo sempre

(I assume "quide" is "guide"...)
This is the best I can do...

3think,Ti ringrazio per tutto l'aiuto

Scusami per la cattiva traduzione ma non sono certo se e' corrette o è sbagliato

Congratulazioni per la nascita del bambino Davide. Sono veramente felice per entrambi e non vedo l'ora di vedere e prendere in braccio il bambino a settembre. con grande affetto a tutti voi

Possa il bambino avere dei sogni (desideri) su cui sperare
e felicità per tutta la vita
Possa Dio benedirlo e guidarlo per sempre

Yep! It's basically the same; in Italy we don't use "bambino Davide", but only the name. "Affetto" is more appropriate, actually. "Sogni su cui sperare" is a literal translation, that's correct, but we don't "wish" dreams, we "do" dreams, and we wish they can get real. We don't rely on dreams... So I translated that way. You can use both! "Per sempre" is very good. Sorry for my silly mistakes, but it was late in the night when I did it. And only just registered!
