I just needed some word to keep length of verse. In Czech we have term "to cry as a tortoise" (it means something like "to cry too much"), but it is missing in Na'vi dictionary

In Russian, there is only one idiom - "Сry with crocodile tears". It means hypocritical regret.

Interesting--here "crocodile tears" convey that someone is crying to get sympathy from other people, not that they're actually upset.

Not to derail the thread, though. Poem alor, ma Blue Elf.
