English to Haitian-Creole: Phenomenal Woman, BY MAYA ANGELOU General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Tèks dorijin nan - English Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Tradiksyon an - Haitian-Creole Bèl fanm yo ap mande tèt yo kote m sere sekrè m yo.
Mwen pa bèl oubyen mwen pa fèt pou m mete menm gwosè rad ak yon mannken
Men lè m kòmanse esplike yo,
Yo panse m ap bay manti.
Mwen di,
Se nan longè ponyèt mwen.
Lajè dèyè m,
Fason m mache,
Gwosè bouch mwen.
Mwen se yon fanm,
Fatal.
Fanm fatal,
Se mwen sa.
M antre nan yon chanm,
Byen poze menm jan avè w souple,
E yon gason,
Tout lòt gason yo kanpe oubyen
Met ajenou,
Yo rasanbe devan m,
Yon gwoup myèl.
Mwen di,
Se limyè k nan je m nan,
Ak ekla k nan dan m,
Mouvman k nan senti m,
Ak lajwa k nan pye m,
Mwen se yon fanm
Fatal.
Fanm fatal,
Se mwen sa.
Menm gason ap mande
Sa yo wè nan mwen.
Yo eseye anpil
Men yo pa rive konprann
Mistè k gen anndan m.
Lè m eseye esplike yo
Yo di yo toujou pa ka konprann.
Mwen di,
Se koub ki nan do m nan,
Solèy ki nan souri m,
Fòm lestomak mwen,
Elegans mwen.
Mwen se yon fanm
Fatal.
Fanm fatal,
Se mwen sa.
Kounya w konprann
Poukisa tèt mwen pa bese.
Mwen pa rele oubyen bat kò m
Ni m pa pale fò.
Lè nou wè m ap pase,
Sa ta dwe fè nou fyè.
Mwen di,
Se son talon k nan pye m fè,
Pil cheve nan tèt mwen,
Pla men m,
Fason w bezwen tandrès mwen,
Paske m se yon fanm
Fatal
Fanm fatal.
Se mwen sa.
