French to English: Je me cache (my poem in French)
Source text - French
JE ME CACHE
Je voudrais exprimer tout ce que je sens,
Mais je cache mes sentiments comme une tortue,
Ils sont invisibles et forts comme un vent.
Si je ne les cache pas, je serai perdue.
Le soleil d'automne se cache derrière les nuages,
Il ne peut pas éclairer des gens qui sont tristes.
Si mes sentiments soufflent comme un orage,
Les nuages s'enfuiront de ce puissant artiste.
Comme un trèfle à quatre feuilles dans un pré
Mes sentiments sont précieux et tendres.
Celui qui me trouve, aura une fortune vraie,
Je serai son bonheur qui n'est pas pour vendre.
Une hirondelle cache ses bébés dans un nid
Pour les protéger des chats dangereux.
Comme ses bébés, mon cœur est rajeuni
Parce qu'il garde ses sentiments amoureux.
Mais mon cœur connaît aussi la tristesse,
Les larmes du passé sont un souvenir cher,
Mais mes ennemis envieux le souvent blessent.
C'est pourquoi, comme un faon, je dois le cacher.
Comme les entrailles de la terre qui cachent l'or
Ou une chenille qui deviendra un papillon,
Mes sentiments cachés sont un trésor,
Ils sont pleins de vie comme une aube vermillon.
Branka Kovatch
Translation - English I HIDE MYSELF
I would like to express everything I feel,
But I hide my feelings like a turtle.
Invisible like a wind, they immense strength reveal,
If I don't hide them, I will lose my battle.
To the autumn sun, clouds a curtain form.
It can't illuminate people who are distressed.
If my feelings blow like a mighty storm,
Clouds will run away from that powerful artist.
Like a four-leaf clover in a meadow
My feelings are tender and invaluable.
To the one who finds me, a true fortune I'll show,
I will be his happiness which is not sellable.
A swallow hides its babies in a nest
To protect them from dangerous cats.
Like its babies, my heart keeps its youth best,
When in it, guarded, a love emotion rests.
But my heart also knows about sorrows,
Tears from the past are dearest memories,
But it is often wounded by my envious foes.
That's why I must hide, like a fawn behind trees.
Like depths of the earth which hide a gold ore
Or secrets of butterflies in caterpillars borne,
My hidden emotions are a treasure,
They are full of life like a vermilion dawn.

I wrote hundreds of poems in Serbian, more than 200 poems in English and about 50 poems in French. I also wrote a few poems in Russian, German and Italian. My poems in English were published in the newspaper The Daily Global Nation. I translated my own poetry and literary essays in several different languages.
