Balaio men bem Balaio sinhà Balaio do coraçâo...
Tekst

Uitgangs-taal: Braziliaans Portugees

Balaio, meu bem, balaio,
Balaio do coração,
Moça que não tem balaio
Bota a costura no chão.

Eu quisera ser balaio
Balaio quisera ser
Para andar dependurado
Na cintura de você

Você diz que não ama
Mais isso não é verdade
Quem não ama nunca sente
As esporas da saudade.

Titel
Basket
Vertaling
Engels

Vertaald door goncin
Doel-taal: Engels

A basket made of straws, my darling
A basket to the heart is bound.
A girl who doesn't have a basket
Lays her sewing down to the ground.

I wanted to be a basket,
A basket I wanted to be,
For going wheresoever
From your waist hanging free.

You say you don't love me
But the truth you don't portray,
As not loving is also not suffering
For the one who is far away.
Details voor de vertaling
"Balaio" is both a kind of basket and a dance of African origin, which can be seen in some parts of Brazil.

IMPORTANT: THE VERSION ABOVE IS A MORE POETICAL ONE, WITH RHYMES. A MORE LITTERAL VERSION:

A basket, my darling, a basket,
A basket from the heart,
A girl who doesn't have a basket
Put her sewing works on the ground.

I wanted to be a basket
A basket I wanted to be
For going attached
To the waist of yours.

You say you don't love me
But that isn't true
He who doesn't love will never suffer under
The spurs of missing the beloved one.

Hi Goncin,

Come on! You are a poet...what about some rhyme here?

Work on it a little bit more, I know you can get a better version. OK?

"in the dirt" would rhyme with "from the heart"
...but I'm awful at poetry

"dirt" and "heart" rhyme? Really? My pronounciation has to be awful then....

That goes well with my awfulness in poetry, so...
Not that different in pronounciation though, closer than "ground" anyway

I think "dart", the game with the arrows, would fit better ("dart" and "heart" is quite nice, isn't it? ). So what about:

A basket, my darling, a basket,
A basket from the heart,
One of Amor's arrows hit me,
when he was playing dart.

We should add an "s" to "heart" then, as the game is known under its plural form ("darts", so that the rhyme will be perfect...but I'm afraid the basic text might be more than slightly transformed after a few of our edits, actually we should maybe let goncin find by himself, after all he's a big boy now...

Oh, we just say "Dart" so I forgot the "s". Maybe we should really give Goncy's poetry a chance and create our own poet We've already got one line, so now it's your turn

Open a thread on a forum then, because here it would be fair neither to the requester, nor to the translator if the discussion area was all messed up with our comments that are out of frame( I know, it is my fault, I began to post besides the topic with my awful first post)
Sorry Goncy, we won't do it again, I promise!

But wouldn't that be changing the original text too much, or can you do that?

Keep on trying, kids!

A basket, my darling, a basket,
A basket from the heart,
One of Amor's arrows hit me,
when he was playing dart.


That was really funny!
