headphones: en español

Thu Sep 10, 2009, 10:50 AM
This is my first attempt to translate one of my own poems into Spanish. Maybe it's all the classes I took in high school and college, maybe it's vanity, or maybe it's just sheer boredom. Whatever the case may be, I'm planning on doing more of these, because I seem to enjoy deciphering the slight nuances of each translated word and phrase. If your native language is Spanish, or if you have some suggestions, please let me know (link to the original poem). I'm largely relying on Google translation and FreeTranslation.com. Without further ado:

auriculares
dejarme
siento
vacío

un glotón
en la mesa de galleta
un nudista
en una camisa de fuerza

mataría a
cantar ahora
pero tengo
ningún cuchillo
y mi voz
se apaga

un puñado
de agudo
susurros
esca-
pando
de mi
boca

labios
persiguiendo
palabras

cada vez más
silenciosa, como

un niño
esperando
agarrar un saltamontes

very good stuff.

glad we share a love of "children of men," if you haven't already, read the book by P.D. James. it's a bit slow moving and significantly different from the film, but obviously has much more depth. maybe a bit chauvenistic... i was suprised to discover that P.D. James is a woman.

i do think the film was a brilliant work in its own right... can't say that about many film adaptations.

and of course, bukowski is amazing.

the garble comment below is freakin me out though; one garbles balls, right?

I garble you.
