VOYEURISMO

Te olho


me molho

VOYEURISM

I look at you

I’m soaking


POEMA PARA O NAMORADO

Teu lado feminino me erotiza:


são belos, sensuais e muito caros


certos instantes gostosos, em que te encaro


menos como homem e mais como menina:


quando passas teus cremes para a pele,


ou pões o avental pra cozinhar,


ou quando em mim te esfregas


até gozar os teus gozos sem fim,


ou quando tuas mãos, leves e lésbicas,


desabam como plumas sobre mim.

POEM FOR A BOYFRIEND

Your feminine side makes me erotic:

it is beautiful, sexy and very dear.

There are certain moments when I regard you

less like a man and more like a girl:

when you apply creams to your skin,

or when you put the apron on to cook,

or when you massage me

so that I enjoy your endless joys,

or when your hands, light and sapphic,

fall like feathers upon me.


EXIGÊNCIA

Meu homem eu quero,


enquanto puder,


molhado e úmido


feito mulher.

REQUIREMENT

I want my man

to be able to be

wet and damp

like a woman

NOTE:

I do things not because I am particularly skilled or
good at them but because they are fun. Translations are a wonderful
example. Of course I don’t know Portuguese or any other language—I
hardly have a grasp on English—but muddling through puzzles,
decoding, deciphering, finding that something totally alien is
beautiful and amazing … that’s why I wake up in the morning. Once I
attempted to translate a Pablo Neruda poem and thought I had done a
kinda/maybe/sorta good job (I checked it against other English
translations and it didn’t seem to have any horrific flaws) so I
posted it on my blog. A couple of days later someone from Uruguay
wrote to me saying, “what have you done to my beloved Pablo?”
Apparently some of the words I decided to use weren’t the correct
ones. Another time I found a Federico Garcia Lorca poem that I had
translated getting torn apart on an on-line forum because, as one
person put it, if I “had any grasp of the Spanish language at
all”
I wouldn’t be making such obvious mistakes. Translators
seem to be a very unforgiving bunch, at times. Since then I mainly
focus on poets that I’ve stumbled across who have never been
translated into English because, as Marilyn Hacker put it, “even
a bad translation is good because it might cause someone more fluent
in that language to make a better translation.”
Life is too
short to apologize for having fun.
