Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / poem by Rumi
English term or phrase: spinning wheel
O termo foi tirado da tradução inglesa de um poema de Jallaluddin Rumi, gravada por Madonna.

Estou procurando uma forma poética de expressar esta ideia. Provisoriamente eu tinha traduzido como "roda giratória", mas acabei mudando para "girassol". Mas, como nunca conheci nenhum girassol dançante, achei que não ficaria bem. Até que descobri que existe a tal "dança do girassol", inspirada numa música da Xuxa. "No poema, "spinning wheel" é uma referência à dança ritualizada dos dervixes (conhecidos como "whirling dervishes" em inglês). Veja este vídeo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHjFgOfoZ7M O que acham de "girassol"? Alguma outra sugestão?

"In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel" - Rumi, English translation by Coleman Barks

Tradução Provisória:

"Em minha alucinação
Eu vi o jardim florido do meu amado
Em minha vertigem, em minha confusão
Em minha névoa inebriante
Dançando e rodopiando feito um girassol"

Asker: Obrigado. Literalmente é isso mesmo, mas ao meu ver não soa poético. Alguma outra sugestão?
