I'm always up for translating. Business or recreational?

Not business. But I'm going to have to try to reproduce the words phonetically.

Send a sound recording, maybe? Might be easier to make out than translating from your typing them out phonetically.

Hm, your accent is a bit hard to wade through. But then, I suppose if you had a good accent, you wouldn't need me to translate. It's mostly diminutives: darling, sweetheart, beloved, and so forth. There's one that translates as 'little butterfly'. That's rather poetic, really.

I see. Which one means 'little butterfly', exactly?

One of the last ones you mentioned. 'Fluturas'. It's kind of poetic because it kind of sounds like a butterfly fluttering. :)
