Question about poetic sensibilities in “wann” vs “wenn”
Link to previous question.
I am trying to say, poetically, that this woman loves singing so much it’s what keeps her living.
Would I say that as “Beim singen, lebt sie.” ? Or “Als sie singt, lebt sie.” Or another way entirely?
I'm assuming you are not writing a poem. If you did, the rhyme would be very important and you don't provide it in your question.
"Der Gesang ist ihr Lebenselixier." (Singing is her elixir of life.) is a rather common and poetic phrase in German.
