English to German: First ProZ.com Translation Contest 2007 - Entry #454

Source text - English
When she moved into his tiny house in Stroud, and took charge of his four small children, Mother was thirty and still quite handsome. She had not, I suppose, met anyone like him before. This rather priggish young man, with his devout gentility, his airs and manners, his music and ambitions, his charm, bright talk, and undeniable good looks, overwhelmed her as soon as she saw him. So she fell in love with him immediately, and remained in love for ever. And herself being comely, sensitive, and adoring, she attracted my father also. And so he married her. And so later he left her - with his children and some more of her own.

When he'd gone, she brought us to the village and waited. She waited for thirty years. I don't think she ever knew what had made him desert her, though the reasons seemed clear enough. She was too honest, too natural for this frightened man; too remote from his tidy laws. She was, after all, a country girl; disordered, hysterical, loving. She was muddled and mischievous as a chimney-jackdaw, she made her nest of rags and jewels, was happy in the sunlight, squawked loudly at danger, pried and was insatiably curious, forgot when to eat or ate all day, and sang when sunsets were red. She lived by the easy laws of the hedgerow, loved the world, and made no plans, had a quick holy eye for natural wonders and couldn't have kept a neat house for her life. What my father wished for was something quite different, something she could never give him - the protective order of an unimpeachable suburbia, which was what he got in the end.

The three or four years Mother spent with my father she fed on for the rest of her life. Her happiness at that time was something she guarded as though it must ensure his eventual return. She would talk about it almost in awe, not that it had ceased but that it had happened at all.

Translation - German
Als Mutter in sein winziges Häuschen in Stroud zog und sich seiner vier kleinen Kinder annahm, war sie dreißig und immer noch recht hübsch. Vermutlich war sie bis dahin nie jemandem wie ihm begegnet. Dieser eher pedantische junge Mann, mit seinem andächtig vornehmen Gehabe, mit seiner Haltung, seinen Umgangsformen, seiner Musik und seinen Ambitionen, mit seinem Charme und seinem gescheiten Gerede, seinem unbestreitbar guten Aussehen überwältigte sie beim ersten Anblick. Sie verliebte sich auf der Stelle und für immer in ihn. Und sie selbst, anmutig, sensibel und anbetend, zog mit ihrer Art meinen Vater an. So heiratete er sie und verließ sie später wieder – zusammen mit seinen Kindern und ein paar eigenen dazu.

Als er gegangen war, brachte sie uns ins Dorf und wartete, dreißig Jahre lang. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie jemals verstand, warum er sie verlassen hatte, obwohl die Gründe auf der Hand lagen. Sie war zu ehrlich, zu natürlich für diesen ängstlichen Mann, zu weit entfernt von seinen säuberlichen Regeln. Letzten Endes war sie ein Bauernmädchen, durcheinander, hysterisch, liebevoll. Sie war verwirrt und mutwillig wie eine Kamindohle, baute ihr Nest aus Lumpen und Juwelen, war glücklich bei Sonnenschein und kreischte laut bei Gefahr. Sie schnüffelte herum und war unersättlich neugierig, vergaß zu essen oder aß den ganzen Tag und sang, wenn die Sonne rot glühend unterging. Sie lebte nach den einfachen Regeln des Wegesrandes, liebte die Welt und plante nichts. Sie hatte einen schnellen, wachen Blick für die Wunder der Natur, aber konnte um nichts in der Welt ihr Haus sauber halten. Mein Vater aber sehnte sich nach etwas ganz Anderem, etwas was sie ihm niemals geben konnte - nach der schützenden Ordnung eines untadeligen Vorstadtlebens, was er am Ende auch fand.

Von den drei oder vier Jahren, die meine Mutter mit meinem Vater verbrachte, zehrte sie für den Rest ihres Lebens. Ihr damaliges Glück hütete sie, als ob es seine Rückkehr am Ende erzwingen könnte. Sie sprach darüber voller Staunen, nicht dass es vergangen, sondern dass es überhaupt geschehen war.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
