Traduction - Portuguais brésilien-Latin - De tudo ao meu amor serei atento Antes, e com tal...

I translated your poem in latin, by using a latin poetic form called Elegiac couplet, which particularly fits love poems (used by Ovidius and Catullus, e.g.).

It is based on the alternation of an hexameter and and pentameter, twice. Both hexameter and pentameter must follow a given pattern of vowel length, which differs in every word in latin.


For each verse, the patern followed. The double slash represents the caesura, - as a long vowel, u is a short one :

Ōmnĭbŭs rēbūs, prōrs[um] ĭn ămōr[em] āttēntŭs ĕrō
-uu|--|-uu|-//-|-uu|- (hephthemimeral caesura)

Ōlīm, pērpĕtŭō, fīrmĭtĕr, ō, ădĕō
--|-uu|-//|-uu|-uu|-

Vēr[o] ŭt ăb īllĕcĕbrā fōrmōsā sōllĭcĭtātŭs
-uu|-uu|-//-|--|-uu|-u (penthemimeral caesura)

Īst[a] īn mēntĕ tŭī prāefĕr[am] ĕnīm mĕmŏr mē
--|-uu|-//|-uu|-uu|-

As a matter of fact, I had to modify a little bit the meaning of the verses, but the overall is conserved. Rough translation, in order to demonstrate it :

Omnibus rebus, prorsum in amorem attentus ero : In every thing, I'll be completely attentive in my love

Olim, perpetuo, firmiter, o, adeo : Before, for ever, constantly, o, as much...

Vero ut ab illecebra formosa sollicitatus : as truly, tempted by a magnificent charm

Ista in mente tui praeferam enim memor me : I'd really prefer to remember you in [my] spirit to this charm.

Here we are !
