English to Portuguese: Warming Up Her Pearls, by Carol Ann Duff General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Next to my own skin, her pearls. My mistress
bids me wear them, warm them, until evening
when I'll brush her hair. At six, I place them
round her cool, white throat. All day I think of her,
resting in the Yellow Room, contemplating silk
or taffeta, which gown tonight? She fans herself
whilst I work willingly, my slow heat entering
each pearl. Slack on my neck, her rope.
She's beautiful. I dream about her
in my attic bed; picture her dancing
with tall men, puzzled by my faint, persistent scent
beneath her French perfume, her milky stones.
I dust her shoulders with a rabbit's foot,
watch the soft blush seep through her skin
like an indolent sigh. In her looking-glass
my red lips part as though I want to speak.
Full moon. Her carriage brings her home. I see
her every movement in my head.... Undressing,
taking off her jewels, her slim hand reaching
for the case, slipping naked into bed, the way
she always does.... And I lie here awake,
knowing the pearls are cooling even now
in the room where my mistress sleeps. All night
I feel their absence and I burn.
Translation - Portuguese Suas pérolas roçam minha pele. Minha ama
me convida a usá-las, aquecê-las, até o cair da noite,
onde escovarei suas madeixas. Às seis, deposito o aquecido colar
em volta de sua fria e leitosa garganta. Durante todo o dia ela me toma os pensamentos,
descansando na Sala Amarela, contemplando os trajes, de seda
à tafetá, qual à noite devo usar? Ao se abanar
eu trabalho de bom grado, meu lento suor penetrando
cada pérola. Sua corrente negligente em meu pescoço.
Ela é linda. Em minha cama no porão
ela invade meus sonhos: vejo-a bailando
com homens altos, intrigados pelo meu cheiro impregnado
sob seu perfumado aroma, que descansa em suas pérolas cor-de-leite.
Eu espano seus ombros com um pé-de-coelho,
observo o leve rubor infiltrando sua pele,
como um indolente suspiro. Refletido em seu espelho,
meus lábios se entreabrem, como se quisesse proferir algo.
Lua cheia. Sua carruagem a traz para casa. Consigo ver
cada movimento seu em minha mente… Se despindo,
retirando seus ornamentos, sua mão alcançando
a caixa de jóias, seu corpo deslizando nu sobre a cama como
ela sempre faz… E no sono não encontro paz,
pois sei que mesmo agora as pérolas esfriam
no quarto onde minha ama adormece. Noite adentro
eu queimo com a ausência da corrente de pérolas.
Portuguese to English: Marido, by Claudia Tejes General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Portuguese Pelo jeito como bateu a porta, está de mau humor. Algum projeto que deu errado no escritório ou a incomodação de sempre com o sócio. Ou o trânsito, ou o calor, ou o frio, ou a chuva, ou o vizinho de baixo, ou o vizinho de cima. Se for fome, é lucro. O jantar não demora ficar pronto.
Mal e mal me cumprimenta. Brincando de carrinho na sala, o Júnior ganha um agafo sem entusiasmo. Sorte que o menino de dois anos ainda não fala. Se dissesse alguma coisa, é certo que provocaria uma discussão.
Como a que começou comigo agora, porque perguntei se podia arrumar a mesa para me ajudar. Ele: “Você tem coragem de perguntar isso pra alguém que passou o dia inteiro sofrendo naquele escritório desgraçado?”
Translation - English The way he slammed the door showed his bad mood. Some project went wrong at the office or the same inconvenience as always with his business partner. Or the traffic, or the heat, or the cold, or the rain, or the downstairs neighbor, or the upstairs neighbor. If it’s hunger, then we’re fine. It won’t be long until dinner is ready.
He hardly freets me. Playing with his toy car in the living room, Júnior receives a caress with little enthusiasm. The two year old boy is lucky he doesn’t speak yet. If he had said something, for sure he would provoke an argument.
As the one he started right now with me, because I asked if he could fix the table to help me. He said: “Do you have the courage to ask this to someone who spent the whole day suffering in that damn office?”
