English to Spanish: In Celebration of my African Roots
Source text - English In Celebration of my African Roots
My paternal grandfather had a dark
skin. His name was “Habash” and Habash in
Arabic means a man from Abyssinia. He was
born in the midst of forest trees on the shores
of Lake Victoria Nyanza. From here the long
voyage of the river Nile begins, from here he
travelled to Abyssinia. Was he trying to
discover the course of the Nile? Did he travel
alone, and how old was he? When I used to
ask my grandmother her thoughts seemed to
stray, and her eyes would no longer be
looking at me. “No” she would say, “he was
not alone. His mother was with him all the
way. He was only a boy in those days, strong
and sturdy, but not yet seasoned enough to
reach the plateaus of Abyssinia on his own. It
is the women in our family who have always
known the way”.
Translation - Spanish En honor a mis raíces africanas
Mi abuelo paterno tenía la piel
oscura. Se llamaba Habash. En árabe,
habash significa “hombre de Abisinia”. Nació
en los bosques que rodean las orillas del lago
Victoria-Nyanza. Allí es donde empieza el
largo viaje del río Nilo; allí es donde mi
abuelo inició su largo viaje a Abisinia. ¿Acaso
trataba de descubrir el curso del Nilo?
¿Viajaba solo? ¿Cuántos años tenía? Al
hacerle estas preguntas a mi abuela, su
pensamiento se dispersaba y apartaba la
mirada. “No −me respondía ella−, no iba solo.
Su madre lo acompañó a lo largo de todo el
viaje. Por aquel entonces era solo un niño,
robusto y fornido, pero no lo suficientemente
curtido para llegar solo a los altiplanos de
Abisinia. En nuestra familia, siempre han sido
las mujeres las que han conocido el camino”.
