Ithaca?

[Garrison]

So I thought I would make the translation of that large text I found a new topic, otherwise it will disappear :) I don't think it makes a lot of sense, there are some words that we don't have defined, and some just don't seem to be right. The source I got it from suggested that it was a translation of "Ithaca", by the Greek poet Constantine P. Cavafy.

Here's my transcription of it, with some translating:

Fafa domi sidofa refa fasidoredo

[conditional] you start [begin, commence] his [her, its] [fasidoredo (Ithaca?)]

(I think that "refa" is supposed to be "fa". Then we get: "When you start to ("for") Ithaca"

Solsol refado la refala fasi doredo

[imperative] notability [note?] the privilege of time

Fasi lasi mifasoldo

Many [much, very] of libertines

Lala do midosoldo dosimido

[present participle] not fearing incompetence [inability, awkwardness]

Mi sidosimi lasi relafado simido

Or angles [corners] of wickedness [darkness, malignancy]  different [different wickedness (various evils)]

Lado resi simido refasolmi solmi remi fasidosi

Yesterday their differences twinkle(d) evil(y) your absence

Sol remi redore dosolfami sol redodo misol

If you philosophize, get up if one good

Sol dofalare domirefa mi faremi re doredomi

If goodness feels or is and a body (??)

Domiresi mi solre solre remifaremi solre solre remi doredomi

Hear(s) or why, why [remifaremi] why, why your body (??)

Sol remi do la famisi  solre solre remi faremi

If you not the carrier [carry, bring, portable] why, why your being

Sol remi faremi do si lasolfado mimifado domi

If you are not yes shown the front you

Solsol refala fami la fasidore faremi fasi doredo

Fami faremi fasi la doremi lasi dodola
