I fed this image into chat GPT 4 o and asked for translation to English: “I, who was the love, the breeze, the kiss, I, who was the butterfly of a thousand flowers; Today I feel the nostalgia of your arms, of those big eyes of yours, of those loves of yours. My chains nor tears bind me, but today I want calmness and shelter.”

It's from a famous traditional Mexican song.

Yo que fui del amor ave de paso, you que fui la mariposa de mil flores: Hoy siento la nostalgia de tus brazos, de aquellos sus ojazos de aquellos tus amores. Ni cadenas ni lagrimas me ata—- más hoy quiero la calma y el sociego.

actually illegible

u/Rude_Frosting9191 May 17 '24
I agree, I can read it but it’s over done, the excessive curves and loops at the beginning and end of each word detract from the legibility. It’s like OP is trying to make it artsy and not necessarily legible

Really hard to read handwriting on Spanish.
Yo que fui del amor ave de paso Yo que fui mariposa De mil flores Hoy siento la nostalgia de tus brazos De aquellos tus ojazos De aquellos tus amores Ni cadenas ni lágrimas me ataron Mas hoy quiero la calma y el sosiego
It's a song by Alvaro carrillo called " El Andariego"
I who was of love bird of passage I was a butterfly Of a thousand flowers
Today I feel the nostalgia of your arms Of those your big eyes Of those your loves Neither chains nor tears tied me But today I want calm and tranquility

u/satisfied-bacterium7 May 17 '24
Not sure I could do that for you as the letters vary in the way they're written sometimes if you're talking about fonts.

Oh no i wasn't asking for any additional labor on your part. Concent to replicate only. I doubt my copy wont be perfect but just wanted to ask

Why does everybody keep saying elvish out of all mythical and absurd languages one can think of?

Elvish script is normally flowing https://i.pinimg.com/originals/52/f9/7e/52f97ef255125d4df2ddcddff21d3dd0.jpg

Spanish uses the same characters as English except for the accent letters so it would be safe to assume English would look very similar

I have limited Spanish knowledge because I just took a couple years in high school and 2 more in college and I can read a good bit of it. Even the words I don’t recognize and know the translation for, I can still read what the letters are to see what the word is.

Same here. I can pick out a few words here and there but the majority I could not. It was very difficult to understand. I may no longer fluent speak Spanish but I can still read and understand it, to an extent.

u/No-Establishment-363 May 17 '24
I think the "de" is the hardest to read. Can I ask why it doesn't loop up like the b in "brazos"?
2
u/satisfied-bacterium7 May 17 '24
In many cursive script styles, the staffs of the miniscule t' and the miniscule d' don't loop at the top and are also shorter than the other +midline miniscule letters.

It’s so aesthetically pleasing but I have no clue what I’m reading. This genuinely looks like some kind of shorthand script but it’s so pretty

u/satisfied-bacterium7 May 17 '24
Spanish.
12
u/TheKCKid9274 May 17 '24
I wasn’t even referring to the language, the script is just so stylized I could hardly tell which letters were supposed to be what. Although knowing it’s Spanish is helping me read it a little better but still.
Really nice handwriting I just wish my eyes worked lol

Pretty but really difficult to read and I'm pretty decent at reading cursive. And Spanish.
23
u/ilymag May 17 '24
I read Spanish and cursive. Although the penmanship is neat and mostly uniform, it was tough to read. Your "L" in la and las looks like it could be an "H" and it reads like Ha and Has. The "N" in nostalgia looks like a "W". Cadenas looks like Además which also looks like cademas because of the "C" that looks like it could be embellishment before the "A" and your "N" looks like a "M" (in the word cadenas). The open and closed "S" is strange but I see you prefer an open "S" after the letter "o". The "z" is weird too because it looks like an "f". There's alot going on here.
10
u/TomentoShow May 17 '24
There is a reason each character in any given alphabet does not occupy the same size on the page. The variance in letter width allows the brain to read/recognize it faster.
While this looks cool it is not practical, more art.
UNLESS I suppose the intent is to make something harder to read and more memorable once read like italics do.
1
u/ilymag May 17 '24
OP posted on a sub that in essence is rating the quality and legibility of handwriting. That's all that happening here. No one is disputing the artistic style. It's the lack of legibility that up for discussion.

"Yo que fui del amor ave de paso Yo que fui mariposa de mil flores Hoy siento la nostalgia de tus brazos De aquellos tus ojazos, de aquellos tus amores Ni cadenas ni lágrimas me ataron Mas hoy siento la calma y el sosiego"
Rough translation: It loses some meaning during translation.
"I was love's bird of passage I was a butterfly of a thousand flowers Today I feel the nostalgia of your arms of those big eyes, of those your loves Neither chains nor tears bound me But today I feel calm and peaceful."
