“This Darwin learning is not bad,
With you he was surely right.
Congratulations (for the) New Year!”
Perhaps someone could refine and make it rhyme…
Danke, Adrian!
Your friend is correct . I will email it to a friend to further translate or you can go to a translation site for help.
Darwin’s doctrine is not bad
In your case he is surely right
Cheers New Year!
Some comments on the translation:
‘Des Darwins Lehre’ is a genitive and so Darwin’s is correct. ‘Lehre’ had several different meanings in German but in this context doctrine is probably the best translation. The rest of the first line is simply one to one.
‘Bei dir’ is an apparently simple expression but actually incredibly difficult to translate into English. A correct translation in this context would be ‘with reference to you’.German ‘hat recht’ is ‘is right’ in English. ‘Prosit’ is literally ‘cheers’ in English but as used here could probably best be expressed with ‘raise your glasses to the New Year.’
Rhymed version:
Darwin’s doctrine, it’s OK
Applied to you, it’s right I’d say!
