Confused ;( $@#![edit]

If anyone knows who was the Lacrimas Profundere frontman and lyricist, prior to Christopher's departure, please write it down! I've read somewhere on the web that in 1993, due to Oliver Schmid's inability to find proper musicians for the band, Christopher found them, and then assumed the role of the frontman. On their (Russian - lacrimas.ru) homepage many lyrics have been credited to Christopher Schmid. Also I've found on this page [http://www.metalstorm.ee/pub/interview.php?interview_id=63] an interview from Oliver which says that he's been writing music & lyrics all the time. If anyone thinks this source is reliable (there's a lot of grammar and spelling errors, although) please do put the information you find probable. My opinion is that it isn't very veritable, but it's the only source I could find. Wlad87 (talk) 21:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"To shed tears" is a good translation, please leave it alone[edit]

It's been changing over the course of this page. "Lacrimas" is a noun meaning tears; "profundere" means "to pour (something) forth." Interpreted with English word order, you might come up with "tears to pour forth." But while in English, we get the meaning from order, Latin gets it from inflections. To express that interpretation in Latin, you might say, "lacrimae profusurae," indicating the use of both words with a change in inflection (note that "profusurae lacrimae" would mean the same thing -- the order is not the important part in Latin). The inflections used support the interpretation "to pour forth tears" or, closer to what an English speaker would say, "to shed tears."

I've also seen, "deep tears," which misinterprets "profundere" as an adjective. "Deep tears" in Latin would be "lacrimae profundae."

If the band means something different by their name, it's worthy of mention, but in Latin, "lacrimas profundere" is well-translated as "to shed tears."
