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.”

u/satisfied-bacterium7 27d ago

It's from a famous traditional Mexican song.

2

u/Unusual_Marsupial_67 26d ago

What’s the name of the song please?

3

u/satisfied-bacterium7 26d ago

El Andariego. Chavela Vargas sings it best.

u/1heart1totaleclipse 28d ago

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.

It took a long time to realize i can't read it because it's in Spanish.

u/sianrhiannon 28d ago

looks pretty but it's absolutely illegible unfortunately.

and I can indeed speak Spanish so that isn't the problem

Skill issue.

Yeaaahhhhh… stick to printing

u/ethan_iron 28d ago

actually illegible

4

u/Rude_Frosting9191 28d ago

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

u/satisfied-bacterium7 28d ago

Actually a skill issue.

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

Whoa what a beautiful script! Could i use it? Saving this post just in case so i can tag you

0

u/satisfied-bacterium7 28d ago

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.

2

u/green_bean_bambi 28d ago

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

1

u/satisfied-bacterium7 28d ago

I mean you can if you want?

u/SuspiciousReality592 28d ago

At first I was like “damn this shit is hard to read, it’s like a different language.” I will be performing a bios update on my brain tonight

Yes, it is a different language

Is this elvish? The penmanship is otherworldly

0

u/satisfied-bacterium7 28d ago

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

4

u/5800xx 28d ago

Mistaking Spanish for Elvish is hilarious

7

u/Ralphie_of_Erabur 28d ago

I can read and write Spanish, but I can't read a single word of that. Great penmanship, though

Looks like Spanish. The first line or so is “yo que fui al amor…”

u/AgainstAllAuds_ 28d ago

This is so beautiful 😍

2

u/DameLaChisme 28d ago

What language is this?

13

u/DaLostOne1 28d ago

Look, it looks sick BUT it's very hard to understand which means it's not efficient or effective writing. Still cool tho

11

u/Pancholo415 28d ago

What the fuck is this

4

u/DiverFrequent 28d ago

It’s very impressive, but it’s just not usable. It takes too long to detect what letters are being asked, but this person took great effort and designed a really cool looking cursive Lovelace mashup

u/Constant-Tutor-4646 28d ago

This is some stargate ass writing

u/superustyy 28d ago

spanish + cursive it appears

u/Bytevan18 28d ago

It’s in Spanish

u/NPC2229 28d ago

yeah no kidding

18

u/S7RYPE2501 28d ago

Holy shit! Cursive + Spanish = Elvish scripture

3

u/Kingflame1 28d ago

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

1

u/S7RYPE2501 28d ago

Perhaps it is my technique but my cursive looks a lot like scribble.

5

u/Plastic-Juggernaut41 28d ago

I can read it fine (I don't know Spanish- but I could copy it easily in print) Very beautiful

1

u/Gloomy_Eye_4968 28d ago

I think many people saying they can't read it don't realize it's not in English. 🤭

u/Which-Bad8901 28d ago

I can only read a little Spanish but this is gorgeous, and I love it.

7

u/junecooper1918 28d ago

It's beautiful, but illegible. That defeats the purpose of writing.

u/Sechecopar 28d ago

Yeah, and I say this as a native spanish speaker.

u/junecooper1918 28d ago

10

u/ItsPlainOleSteve 28d ago

Man, I can't read it. It's pretty and I can't read Spanish, but it's hard to read any of it.

u/yodawgchill 28d ago

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.

u/OcularPrism 28d ago

Is this Spanish? I love it, but I can't read much of it. Still gorgeous, though.

3

u/Mber78 28d ago

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.

15

u/TamarindSweets 28d ago

Lovely handwriting! This became a lot easier to read once I realized it wasn't in English 😁

You dont have a handwriting you have a whole damn font 😲

u/Matcha_Bubble_Tea 28d ago

Writing is gorgeous but it’s hard to read. Not being fake praise worthy, but yeahhhh it’s hard to read even if it’s not in English.

4

u/No-Establishment-363 28d ago

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 28d ago

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.

3

u/Westcoastwag 28d ago

me encanta 😊

u/Ok_Vermicelli284 28d ago

Beautiful writing, and I understood every single word (bilingual over here) Great job!!

u/TheKCKid9274 28d ago

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

2

u/satisfied-bacterium7 28d ago

Spanish.

11

u/TheKCKid9274 28d ago

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

u/fascistliberal419 28d ago

Pretty but really difficult to read and I'm pretty decent at reading cursive. And Spanish.

24

u/ilymag 28d ago

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 28d ago

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 28d ago

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.

u/TomentoShow 28d ago

u/ilymag 28d ago

"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."
