Potential self-verbing variations


 What would I have done if I had met you,
the island, before the tempest?

(Was hätte ich getan, wenn ich dich, 
die Insel, vor dem Sturm getroffen hätte?)

Where would I have gone if I had reached you, 
the island, before the tempest?
(Wohin wäre ich gegangen, 
wenn ich dich, die Insel, vor dem Sturm erreicht hätte?)

Perhaps I would have written, played, and danced 
the Song of Songs 
under your miracle, the raining Melody...
(Vielleicht hätte ich das Hohelied unter deinem Wunder, die Melodie des Regens,
geschrieben, gespielt und getanzt...)
