POEMAS EN MUTACIÓN, una colaboración inglés-español con la poeta neozelandesa Jodine Butler

Mutation Sea – A Collaboration Poem by Jodine (FOURTH/FINAL) SPANISH AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION COLLABORATION Mutation Sea 1. I think of remembrances that I don't want to avoid. Desperate waves. 2. I fight against my brother's gentile heart winning softness, competitive happiness. 3. Caronte's travel It comes, Death towards us as a black and white film in which once there was Love. 4. Listen You told me beautiful stories that filled our hearts with Joy and eyes with feeling. Relieved you read that Amity kept alive, then we could say goodbye. 5. "Come in", you once said to me. After that I received your grace and blessing. Everything would be given to you although you were wrong. 6. Walk away Be grateful for all they have given pray with no shame, it'll be your healing. I shall see you on the horizon, a shadow running after - 7. I disappear. By Juan M. Santiago León & Jodine Derena Butler (Editor) " I agree with you [Jodine, that] spanish is more romantic or passionate language, like all the latin languages are [but]... English, like other germanic languages, has a special power... [It] is a language able to call upon the forces of nature". Juan "I absolutely love the poems, in all their forms! You have an exceptional talent Juan, for interpreting and translating poetry from English to Spanish and vice versa. Beautiful! I have enjoyed working with you so much, that I am inspired to experiment with other languages (German, French, Polish, Russian). I think we can both feel proud about our beautiful poetic creations. Thank you". Jodine (THIRD/FINAL) SPANISH TRANSLATION Perdida Alma Marina 1. Pienso en recuerdos que no quiero evitar Desesperado reflujo. 2. Lucho contra el gentil corazón de mi hermano, suavidad ganadora competitiva felicidad. 3. Viaja y se acerca nuestra muerte en blanco y negro película en la que una vez existió el amor. 4. Escucha me contabas bonitas historias que nos daban alegría; con ojos llenos de emoción aliviado leías que la amistad viva se mantenía así fue posible decirnos adiós. 5. Ven me dijiste una vez después recibí tu gracia y bendición. Yo te lo daría todo aunque tuvieras otra opinión. 6. Marcha agradece lo que te dieron reza sin ningún pudor es tu curación. En el horizonte me verás de una sombra correr detrás 7. Desaparezco By Juan M. Santiago León " [It is] such a hard job [in] translating poems, because the point is not only the rhyme, the rhythm, but the sense... but it's just another poem. And my translation of another poem is another another poem, so far from the former version in english, with another sense in spanish. Curious..." Juan "Awesome Juan...I literally tried to capture the essence of your attempt to write [a poem] in English [for the first time]. I love seeing the Spanish version and I like the numbering... It is truly beautiful to see the poetry transform. You are quite right. Translations create poem after poem... the Spanish language is so much more romantic in my view than English". Jodine (SECOND) ORIGINAL ENGLISH INTERPRETATION by Jodine Derena Butler My Lost Sea Soul Thoughts Memories from moments Avoided to forget But I remember Despair Fight My brothers gentle heart I let softness win Competititive Happiness Journey We approach our death Black & white re-runs Love existed Once Listen You told me beautiful stories Memories made joyous Emotional eyes Reading Relieved Our friendship Made my feelings alive It's much kinder to say goodbye Come You said to me one time I received your grace Blessed I would give anything freely Although you think Opposites Leave Be grateful for what was given No shame in prayer Healing You'll see me on the horizon Running after a shadow Dissappearing by Jodine Derena Butler "I will send back my version of your poem..." (FIRST) ORIGINAL SPANISH TO ENGLISH POEM by Juan M. Santiago León Head out of the sea, floating soul Think ´bout this : a memory is coming to you at this moment and you cannot avoid it you want to forget but... ...but you can´t do it, can´t want to because that memory is the only thing you keep and out of it it remains none at all. Beat it : The soft fight against your bro´ a competition that you´ll never win but you always let him because it´s glad to see the happiness in his face. Walk along : An end is approaching to us movies from other era where it still existed love. Listening beautiful stories made us better ones reading emotion inside your eyes makes me feel alive. To share my relief with you, my friend is a kind way to throw away. Come with me : As you said once, I receive your grace like blessed people do. For me, anything is easy although you think the opposite. Exit : You must be grateful for all the given if you are ashamed for praying, let your feet be watered by waves. In the horizon, you´ll see a figure running out follow that shadow until dissapear. By Juan M. Santiago León "... this first try of writing a poem in english directly, it is not a translation. Maybe it´s an exercise, an attempt". Jodine | diciembre 25, 2015 en 3:37 am | Etiquetas: Amity, Australian Poetry, Caronte, Charon, Death, Friendship, Jodine Derena Butler, Juan M.
