Tradurre l’abbandono. Per una nuova versione italiana della “trilogia” amorosa di Pedro Salinas

Abstract

In this article, by the translator’s point of view, we face the Italian translation of some Pedro Salinas’ poems from his love “trilogy” (La voz a ti debida; Razón de amor; Largo lamento). In particular, the theme of separation, that the poet lives in a traumatic way, in his poetry creates a specific language of deprivation. Also in the Italian version the translator uses this peculiar linguistic and stylistic code, and, from a part, with a source-oriented approach, he is very loyal to the original poem; from another, on the target side, recurring to different strategies, he creates a new writing able to evoke a similar atmosphere also in the context in and for which the text is translated.
