My Poetry Translation

This is my translation and the scancion of the poetry. I think this is the most complicated to translate. Really, you need to know a lot of things to translate it, and understand very well all the poem. You don't want to write a poem without rhyme or metrics. You need to pay a lot of atention more like with the others.

Poem by Lena Townsend

Las Olas del Mar

En perfecto ritmo

Fluye delicadamente la balada

En perfecta melodía.

Tirando a mi corazón

Levantando suavemente mi alma

Cosquillando mi razón.

Hermosa canción

Llamando al universo

Para conservar toda la vida.

Eterna señal

Llamando para que todos lo vean

Reluciendo de esperanza.

Cantando por la paz

En armonía con el viento

Realizado por Dios.
