=maHvaD wuqlu'ta' Hoch'a'
If this is "they've decided everything for us", that should be
maHvaD Hoch wuqlu'ta'
='ach wuSDu'maj yIHotchuqmoH
='ach qo'wIjvaD tIqlIj yIHotmoH
=(I hate the above two lines. The originals were
="But touch my tears with your lips"
="Touch my wourld with your fingertips"
=Any suggestions would be welcome)
You hate these mainly due to metre, I gather, so
'ach mInbIQwIj Hotjaj wuSlIj
qo'wIj Hotjaj nItlhlIj
doesn't help?
