Imagine...

You work as translators in a local publishing company. One of the current projects is an anthology of poems written by select Filipino writers.

As the anthology is set for international release, the publisher intends to make it a bilingual edition, with English translations provided. Your boss has put you in charge of translating the poems into English.

The audience is composed of Literature students and professors and adult readers of poetry. Your boss reminds you to maintain the message and tone of the poem and use language appropriate for the target audience.

““Kay Nora Aunor”Kay Nora Aunor”(Jean Page)

Sabi nila may sakit at lalimsiyang di matarokUmiibig kaya siya at di nakalimot?Ang pelikula kaya'y paulit-ulit na ensayoat kung minsan, ang gabiang tunay na entablado?Walang saksitahimik ang pagtatanghal

at umaagos, umaagosang luhang matabang ―walang alat na inaanodwalang hapding hinihilom ―Ngunit walang tinag pa rin ang pag-agossapagkat ang pusong di lumilimotay nasa bukana nitong misteryo:iisa ang hapis at pag-asa.

“Bago Mo Ako Ipalaot”(Luna L. Sicat)

Hayaan mo muna akong magpaalamSinindihan mo na ang aking mitsaKaya't titigan mo, at hayaan mongKawayan ka ng naglalagablab kong kulayAt saka mo na ako ialayHindi ako manlalaban sa alonPaminsan-minsan dadalhin ako ng ihipPatungo sa gilid at maaari moNa akong itulak papalayo

Kung nagliliyab ang aking kalamnanTitigan mo na lang ang papalayongBuntot ng kwitis sa langit atIsipin mo na sa gabing itoAng liwanag at ang taludtodAy maligayang nagsanib.
