Portuguese to Greek: O mar salgado Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Portuguese Ó mar salgado
(Fernando Pessoa)
Ó mar salgado, quando do teu
sal
São lágrimas do Portugal!
Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram,
Quantos filhos em vão rezaram!
Quandas noivas ficaram por casar
Por que fosses nosso, ó mar!
Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena
Se a alma não é pequena.
Quem quer passar além do Bojador
Tem que passar além da dor.
Deus ao mar o perigo e o
abismo deu
Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.
Translation - Greek Αχ, θάλασσα αλμυρή
Αχ, θάλασσα αλμυρή εσύ,
το δικό σου αλάτι
είναι της Πορτογαλίας
το δάκρυ!
Για να σε διασχίσουμε, πόσες
μάνες δεν έκλαψαν,
πόσα παιδιά μάταια
στα χέρια τους ροζάριο δεν έπιασαν!
Πόσες αγαπημένες μας γάμο, μάταια περίμεναν,
για να γίνεις εσύ δική μας, αχ θάλασσα!
Άξιζε τον κόπο; Όλα αξίζουν
τη θυσία αυτή,
αν η ψυχή δεν είναι λιγοστή.
Όποιος θέλει ανοικτά του Μποζαντόρ
να πλεύσει,
πρέπει ανοικτά του πόνου να περάσει.
Ο Θεός στη θάλασσα, κίνδυνο και
αβύσσους έδωσε
Αλλά επάνω της, πράγματι,
τον ουρανό καθρέφτισε.
(μτφ. Κ.Μπασακάλη)

My
professional background is in journalism (BA). For more than 15 years, I worked
for political and financial newspapers as an in-house translator-chief
editor of international news depts.
I have extensive experience in translating from English, French, Portuguese and Italian into Greek.
Fields
involved are: international and European politics, society, economym financial market reports, international organizations΄reports, health, medical, pharma, science, cinema, arts and entertainment.
Copywriting,
reviewing and proof reading is a substantial part of my routine, coordinating daily
and special editions. In a news daily, deadlines are strictly kept. Working
under pressure is the norm.
Having a
special interest in news coverage of environmental issues, a few years ago, studying
for a M.Sc. in human ecology and health at the Medical School of Athens, I got
deeper into medical and environmental terminology.
I have subtitled documentaries for environmental issues -pro bono- and as a Press
Officer for Members of the Greek Parliament, I have acted as their interpreter during
meetings with foreign dignitaries.
Politics,
traveling, literature and poetry have a special place in my heart.
“Thriving
in diversity” is my moto.
