BTW, another point about the perfective aspect of "DaSmeyvam chenmoHlu'ta'"
and had to write it. The translation into Welsh (which I'm studying a
little, please don't flame if it's imperfect) of the sentence would be
"Mae'r botasen yma wedi eu neud i gerdded": "The boots here (i.e. these
boots) are after their making for walking". Welsh is good about
perfectives like this. Anyway....
Well, I have sorta come up with a translation for the verses and all. It
doesn't rhyme, but it scans...

Takes a little work to force it into the lines, but it can be done. Anyone
have Nancy Sinatra's address?
