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 quite
diverse, which has given me the opportunity to explore many interesting and
different fields for a considerable amount of time. I spent 15 years in Journalism (chief-editor
of the international news desk), and I also worked as an in-house translator for
several Greek newspapers. Then, I decided to change course which is why, I am
currently counting 14 years in politics and public administration, specializing
in environmental, National and in European policy.
Language pairs are: EN-GR,
GR-EN, FR-GR, PT-GR, IT-GR.
Hold a (BA) in Journalism at the
Panteion University and a (M.Sc.) in
“Environment and Health-Capacity Building for Decision Making” at the Medical School of the University of Athens,
Greece.
Extensive experience in
translating texts from a wide variety of subjects (society, economy, politics,
entertainment, science, fashion and more…).
Fields of expertise: Health, Medical, Pharma, Environmental policy,
International and European policy, Public Administration, tech manuals, Press-Releases,
Literature.
Besides
translation, I am keen on copywriting and proofreading giving special
emphasis to detail and keeping deadlines.
Creative writing is my thing (titles, logos,
short texts, advertising texts etc).
Having worked as a Press
Officer for more than 12 years, I have also acted as an interpreter during
meetings with foreign dignitaries. I have subtitled documentaries -pro bono.
Traveling, literature and
poetry have a special place in my heart.
“Diversify and conquer” is my moto.
