Lost In Translation Poem by Hebert Logerie
Lost In Translation
Anytime, you translate
You basically innovate
You write something new
With words that are anew.
Something is lost in translation
Which requires no action
Even though the meaning
Can be slightly off or demeaning.
The sky is not really blue
But when I say that
I love you; I will love you
Even when you become fat.
Words are important
Open your heart and soul
Come under my tent
Bring a book and your bowl.
We can do it together
We can understand each other
We will be better
And we will live forever.

You write something new Something is lost in translation... / Agreed. You cannot replicate the original piece of poetry, fiction or non-fiction into another language but the translator tries his best to retain not only the literal meaning but also the beauty, rhyme, sense and the flavour in his translation. If he succeeds, he will be appreciated otherwise he will attract criticism. I have read the masterpieces of world literature through English or Hindi and I am of the fact.
