NotUse I am a filipino too, I am interested to translate it. So far, I'm stuck writing a romantic scene. Maybe I can help you out, if you still need my help

NotUse alright, I'll try my best. Btw, i fell in love with your poem. it's so beautiful.

I am just studying the first stanza, these lines, " Whose womb was of the east" are you talking about east countries, specifically the Philippines? or it has other meaning?

Avalondra
Yup, the first stanza refers to the Philippines

NotUse okay~ the more I read it the more I see how deep it is haha, I'm done with the first stanza, it was a bit hard to find the right words, I'm just gonna eat first then. I'll post it here once I am done. Though, It's only an amateur translation of me that you can revise.

Avalondra
Thank you so much

The Beast and the Maiden
By: (I'll use my pseudonym here) DZSC
The maiden of many islands,
Whose womb was of the east
Chained like an animal,
Whose fault was of the beast

Ang dalaga ng maraming isla,
Na ang sinapupunan ay ang silangan
Nakagapos nang parang hayup
Na siyang sala ng halimaw

Though she bore the pain given by the monster;
He had always been loved by the maiden, the dreamer
Although she was treated as the blackbird;
She longed for her cry to be heard

Bagaman kaniyang dinala ang sakit na ibinigay ng halimaw;
Siya parin ay magpakailanmang iniibig ng dalaga, isang mapangarapin
Bagama’t siya ay ituring itim na ibon;
Hinahangad niya na marinig ang kaniyang sigaw

And so every night, she mourned of a time,
A time to roam, at the beach by his side
Footsteps, she wished, that would be left behind,
Fiddling with his, during that time

At sa tuwing gabi, siya ay nagdadalamhati sa pahanon,
Sa panahon na siya ay malaya, sa dalampasigan, sa tabi niya
Mga yapak, na kaniyang ninanais, na maiiwan,
Nakikipaglaro sa kaniyang bakas, sa panahon na iyon
Would it ever come? No one knew,

For if all she did was to dream,
And all he did was to sting;
All I could do was to give them my woe
Ito ba ay darating? Walang nakakaalam,
Kung ang ginawa niya lamang ay mangarap,
At siya naman ay maghatid ng hapdi;
Ang maari ko lamang gawin ay magdalamhati

I too, dreamed of an oath,
The beast and the maiden, by the meadows,
Singing together, songs so mellow
That was a dream, if all she did was to hope.

Ako rin, nangangarap ng panumpa,
Ang halimaw at ang dalaga, sa parang,
Umaawit ng magkasama, mga kantang malambing
Iyon ay isang pangarap, kung ang kaniyang ginawa lamang ay umasa.

P.S feel free to revise it for a better outcome. Anyone can try. Proud Filipino

this is unrelated but i took an interest with ur piece and i would like to get some permission to use your pice in my novel. Yes Filipino ako and I am writing a novel that is based sa time before we are colonized by the Spaniards.

Here is the said novel

Book Title (Veiled Saga: Conquest and Domination)

Synopsis
"If I can't conquer your heart, I will conquer your land."

He smirks in the heat of the moment, with drumming heart and trepidation from those audacious words he just declared.

And finally, he dealt a spit for his last growl:
"This world shall know Domination!"

An Ex-General punished with a death sentence, transmigrated from the present back to the past years before his country was colonized.

Or so he thought?

Armed with the experience and knowledge as a General, he declares to conquer the world!

Read as the story befitting of its title, unravels the mysteries of this newfound world, how will he conquer everything in his path to domination? The story behind his punishment, and the people that surround him.

A Glorious Saga that re-writes history!
...

This is my first novel on this platform, may you like reading my novel!
