(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: haines82

Hi, I want to get a quote translated for a tattoo that I'm getting, if anyone can help me that would be much appreciated! The quote I need translated is:

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself"

Thanks =)

Try this: Ничто не может принести Вам мир, но непосредственно.

But I'm curious why you would want to get a tattoo in Russian? And where are you going to be putting this "art".

Careful using those onlin e translation programs.... This translates totally different.

My advice send Mssmartypants a PM and she will translate this for you!

the above translation translates something like "nothing brings you the world, but you being direct.

Ничто не может принести тебе мир, только ты сам.
Ничто не даст тебе покоя, кроме самого себя.
Another variants are possible as well. It depends on the gender of the person you are going to tell it.

Hey, if you can't conquer the world, sue for peace . Hello! I made it here. It's a nice site, and I'll stop by tomorrow after work to browse around a bit.

I can't read weather's translations - the font doesn't come up, but my translation would be

"Obreti mir v dushe svoye" (establish/create peace in your soul).

Perhaps another poster can put this in Cyrillic font.

These words are words from the Biblie.
Обрети мир в душе твоей.
Kathy wrote the same here before.

However, I am not sure about right using these words like a tattoo on your body.

Cheburashka,
Thanks for the kind words. I'm catching up on Months of missed posts on the other boards after working away from home, and I'm browsing the forums here as well. This is a very well done community, and I'll be spending time getting to know everyone, and participating in the conversation here.

Thanks for the welcome!
