Uhm... /sorrow è /strazio? Non sembra un po' poco?

 Uhm... /sorrow č /strazio? Non sembra un po' poco?
A me risulta piů forte "strazio" di "sorrow".

Forse "agony" invece di "sorrow"?

"Agony" is fine.
Bye, FB

 A me risulta piů forte "strazio" di "sorrow".
A me "grief" pare piů forte di "sorrow".
Potrebbe andare?

 Potrebbe andare?
I feel that "grief" is stronger than "sorrow", but it still sounds composed
(to my Italian ears, it goes without saying). I reckon "anguish" and
"agony" to be more appropriate. Actually "anguish" sounds better to me, but
then "agony" seems partially to be a synonim of "anguish".
Bye, FB

Sorry FB, this is meant to sound good to English ears,not italian
ones! Or it wouldn't be a translation now would it?? Agony is too
unusual to use in this way. Even anguish may be too strong. Sorrow
will do, if one has to have it forever attached to the photo I
reckon. Sorrow is deep and silent while agony is what happens when
you tear a ligament. Anguish is more emotive, which while maybe
italian is not very English. :-)

 Sorrow is deep and silent
Ma strazio č qualcosa di fortissimo: č una disperazione cieca e senza 
fine. E non certo solo intima. Lo strazio ti porta a urlare, a 
disperarti, č forse piů simile a /torment.

 italian is not very English. 
No, "strazio" is very strong. I would never write it on a tombstone (well,
how weird a topic!). 
I should think it's more a matter of taste, rather than translation. As
long as "strazio" is the Italian word (and we cannot change it), "sorrow"
is not appropriate.
Bye, FB

A me "grief" pare piů forte di "sorrow".
Rilancio con "despair".
saluti,
Peltio
che gli pare di camminare per Sobborgo Agonia.

| How poetic and sad.  Thank you so much for your assistance.
    Anytime. Now you'll have to fight these guys off for the next couple of months.
    - "Anguish!"
    - "No, you moron! It's agony!"
    - "Agony? You gotta be kidding, dude! People haven't spoken that word for 50 years now!"
    - "Oh really? Where you from? Boston, huh?"
    - "Ya'll shut the hell up. Grief's the right one, get it straight!"
    - "You could eat a box of alphabets and crap a better word than that... it's dispair, now
blow yourself!"
    And so on, aren't they just lovely? Just like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking
chairs, awwwright.

Hmm despair is good (as a term purely...)
My dictionary translates straziato as : stricken; torn; col cuore
straziato = heart stricken
and straziante as heart-rending
'Anguish' curiously enough is related to 'anger', which may be why I
picture it with more movement than sorrow.

Sorrow: a sadness or anguish due to loss.

 picture it with more movement than sorrow.
That's what I meant: "strazio" implies movement, if you remain "nello
strazio" you're not composed, as I think of it.
