Quién iba a pensar...
Text

Source language: Spanish

Quién iba a pensar que ese día
Perdería mi vida por una estrella
Una estrella que cayó desde muy lejos,
Que en sus ojos tiene el cielo,
En sus manos mi consuelo,
En su risa mi alegría
Y en su ausencia mi tristeza.

Who knew

Translated by Cisa
Target language: English

Who knew that this day
I would lose my life for a star,
For a star that has fallen from far away,
That has the sky in her eyes
My consolation in her hands
My happiness in her smile
And my sadness in her absence.

Is it right to say "her" here? I'm not sure.

I don't know how English deals with this kind of poetic allegory. The submitter is talking about a star's eyes, hands and so on. But this star symbolises his/her beloved. If we want to be accurate we should translate "its hands", "its absence"..., however, since this star is personified, why not tolerate a personal possessive that symbolises a human being? It's up to you to decide. As for my Spanish ears, the whole poem is interpreted as making a reference to a person and not to an object.

Hi! Actually, I translated ´her´, because I´ve seen it´s the one who requested this translation looks male, and so I thought maybe it´s for a girlfriend or something.... I also like personification in poems.
