I need a quick translation.
 

I've tried Google and similar sites, but they all give me different answers, so I thought it'd be best to ask someone who speaks the language fluently.

Could some please translate, "Oh bright eyes!" for me? You know, from the poem. I'd really appreciate it.

-Nicholai

which poem? (more context would help out a translation)

I think you misunderstood, all I need translated is the sentence "Oh bright eyes!" Not the whole poem, or whatever.

I understood--but you wanted more than a quick googled translation.

For that a translator would need more of the context.

"Oh" would translate differently depending on tone. Tone needs the rest of the "poem"

"Gee, what pretty eyes" is different that "Oho! You see everything"

You mean like a quick search http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta=

Meanings of phrases can vary depending upon metaphoric intentions or literal or ...

Poetry is poetry ... new meanings begin, new meanings defined. Meanings previously understood or meanings taken to a new 3rd dimension.

Ah, I see, my bad. It was a poem we read in class, but I can't seem to find it on Google... but, "Oh bright eyes" as in "Gee, what pretty eyes". It was actually more of a nickname for somebody, like if I were to call my girlfriend, "Bright eyes."

... Am I helping?

Yes it could be ... or one of much enthusiasm or one of much intelligence, or one of much determination, or one of much interest, or one of mystery, or one of eagerness to learn, or one of ignorance but open mind ... or ... dreamy eyes .. or ... attractive ... or ... high personality ... or ... artistic & adventful/adventurous ...

...

Oh les yeux qui brillent!
Oh les yeux brillant!
Oh les yeux qui pétillent!
Oh les yeux pétillant!
Oh les beaux yeux!

Are possible translations (many other possible in french), 1 and 3 being the most on track but if you want to call your girlfriend like that, use the 2, 4 or 5

Salut et voilà
What do you think of

Oh comme ce sont claires tes yeux !

:D

heu... it is bad French, but nice effort Stief ;)

it should be: Oh comme tes yeux sont clairs! but it looks like "clear eyes" in English, no good :)

et bien, je vois que vous avez aide ce mec sur le BRIGHT EYES= le probleme c'est qu'il y a beaucoup de traductions for cette phrase. mais bon, les options sont la.. :)

One possible translation (with a nice cinematographical reference) could be : "T'as d'beaux yeux tu sais ?"
Not very poetic but yet pretty efficent ;-)
What movie is it from, by the way ? I forget all the time...
