I cannot forgive the land – nor nothingness. I cannot forgive such a death when in love, You are rolling in the dirt far too early.

I leave my heart, and resume my business. I weep at my misfortune, and at our attireĪnd I feel your passing more than I myself.Īnd without comfort from anyone and without any relief There is no expanse greater than my pain, That by sweltering pain it aches at me until I breathe.Ī brutal thrust – I have brought you down

So great the grief, it clusters in my side,

Of the ground that you occupy and fertilize, Quiero escarbar la tierra con los dientes, No hay extensión más grande que mi herida, For the first draft, I have translated everything literally (word for word), and in my next version plan to suitably enhance My Attempt into something that makes vague poetic sense (unlike how it reads presently!). I intend this translation to be merely a primitive first draft and would be open to any suggestion of changes, particularly if you feel that my chosen word in the English doesn’t do the Spanish meaning appropriate justice. The poem is exactly that – a lament over the death of one of his close friends, Ramon Sije. The poem that I have chosen to translate is written pre the Spanish Civil War, and is titled “Elegia”, which means “Elegy”. Subsequently, his punishment was reduced to 30 years in prison, but he contracted Tuberculosis shortly after, and died in 1942. Following the Republican surrender in 1939, Hernandez was captured and sentenced to death. Hernandez was born around 1910, and he wrote a great deal of poetry throughout the Spanish Civil War, campaigning for the Republicans. The place has some personal significance to me, as it is nearby to where I have spent every Easter and Summer holiday since I have been born. I chose a work by a poet from Orihuela, called Miguel Hernandez. Given that my family IS English in its entirety (as far as I can tell – though I’m still hopeful of finding some hint of Spanish), I decided to translate a poem from Spanish, using my (somewhat limited) knowledge of the language that I have acquired through both GCSE and the beginnings of IB. We were asked to consult members of our family to see if they had the gift of a second language, or had a different first language to English, and if so, their help in translating a poem into English.
