Thread: Help with translating poem for my family

Could someone please translate these few lines into Spanish? I would be very greatful.

Life is like a flower
Life is like a tree
Inside the flower is a Bee
I am greatful for my life
And want to live long and happy
I do not want to be heart-broken
Or never be sad
I love the world around me
I dream everyone to be free
I want to help the hungry children
I want to cure the world of its sin
I want you to be a kind, helpful, giving person
Then your life will be as meaningful as a tree.

Thank you very much.. it helps alot

Hola, Mem:

Sólo unas precisiones (tu traducción es inmejorable).

I do not want to be heart-broken No quiero que me rompan el corazón (me parece que puede usarse la imagen y suena más natural)

I want to cure the world of its sin Quiero curar al mundo de su pecado (creo que se refiere al pecado original, por eso lo pone en singular)

I want you to be a kind, helpful, giving person Quiero que seas una persona amable, servicial y generosa
Then your life will be as meaningful as a tree. Entonces tu vida tendrá tanto sentido como un árbol.

Saludos

Thank you very much for your suggestions CarlosRoberto. I really appreciate them!

Regards!

Hola todos, meme, como siempre una traducción impecable.

Estoy de acuerdo con Carlos.

Sin embargo podría otro verbo:

I want to cure the world of its sin Quiero librar al mundo de su pecado

En seguida he pensado en el padrenuestro: ...y líbranos del mal...

sedujeran doesn't seem to translate very well --- does it mean "would seduce?"

You can say "sedujeran" o "sedujesen" in that case. Both are correct

Example:
If you knew that man, you'd fall in love with him...
Si tú conocieras/conocieses a ese hombre, te enmorarías de él

You get it now?

Best regards,

Yes, I would use that translation.

Any woman who would seduce /who seduced....
