Translations and Poetic Renditions of Love Poems of Our Poets in Oriental Languages

Summary/Abstract: Up to now it have been published a great number of translations or poetic renditions of poems written in Oriental languages by our poets. The translations were complemented by bio-bibliographical notes and interpreted like apart of Oriental poetical experience and Oriental poetic forms. That is the reason why our cultural milieu treated these poems like poems of »specific« language and style, as weU as »strange«, Oriental poetry that have nothing in common with the poetry written at the same time in Europe. The present paper gives a comparison between love poems written in Orientallanguages by our people and the Petrarchan love poetry written also by our poets at the period of renaissance. The comparison is based on the fact that both our renaissance and Oriental poetry have a universal theme (love), as well as that both of them use a lot of stereotypes in motif and style. At the bases of the concrete details, »syntagm« or »figure « taken from the poem, it is possible to notify the similarities between, these two poetries. At one side there is the similarity in theme (the beauty of a woman), in the description of the details (hair, locks of hair, eyes, eyebrows, face, height, etc.) inthe description of love feelings (the similar manifestations of joy and sorrow), while, at the other side, there is the similarity in style (comparison, hyperbole, the play of words that has a function of »witticism«, etc.). Using a similar way of writing, one poetry created a poetic ideal according to the aesthetic of the East, and the other according to the current aesthetic of the West. The choice of concepts used as a comparison or some other figure of style prooves this assertion.
