Im setting myself an arty farty crafty project and id like to include certain words or phrases but in nice foreign languages.
If anbody could translate these words into Italian,French or latin, or any other language you think they sound nice in then it would be appreciated.
dream
stars
artist
musician
moon
dance
smile
rain
love
light
heaven
The only phrase I can think of at the moment is 'the sun is God'.
If you can think of any phrases along the lines of the above then please let me know.
Thanks.
