Portuguese to English: Risca Rabisca / Scratch and Scribble General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Portuguese Bruna gosta de desenhar. O dia todo ela risca - rabisca - risca - rabisca …
No papel, na parede, no chão onde a mão alcançar.
Desenha círculos, quadrados, bonecas, casinhas, palhaços, flores e corações. Ah como ela gosta de desenhar corações.
Uma noite, em seu quarto quando desenhava um palhaço em uma folha azul de papel, ouviu uma voz:
• Ei, para de me machucar. Você está carregando muito esse lápis em cima de mim.”
Bruna assustada, pergunta:
• “Quem está falando?”
• “Ora, quem é que está falando?” repete o desenho do palhaço. - “sou eu aqui na tua folha de papel… O palhaço, foi você que me criou, lembra-se?”
• A menina diz: -” Desenhos não falam.”
• “Não falam! É o que você pensa garota.” continua o palhaço. “Os desenhos dizem tudo sobre as crianças o que elas sentem e como se sentem. Preste atenção que eu vou te explicar.” diz o palhacinho sentando-se na folha.
• Você me desenhou porque gosta de palhaços, não é mesmo? Você deve ir ao circo de vez em quando e os palhaços te divertem. E mesmo que o circo esteja morrendo aos poucos, o palhaço é muito importante para as crianças. Quando pequenas, algumas tem medo. Depois que crescem elas gostam e brincam muito conosco. E mais uma coisa, não é só o desenho do palhaço que pode falar com você. Vamos... experimente, desenhe o que você quiser e verá, “ insiste o palhaço, deitando-se novamente na folha.
Translation - English Bruna likes to draw. All day she scratches and scribbles and scratches and scribbles …
On the paper, On the wall, On the ground, wherever her hands could reach she would draw.
She would draw circles, squares, dolls, houses, clowns, flowers and hearts. Ah, how she liked drawing hearts!
One night, in her bedroom, while she drew a little clown in a blue piece of paper, she heard a voice:
• “Hey, stop hurting me! You're forcing that pencil too much on top of me.”
Scared, Bruna asks:
• “Who’s talking?”
• “Now, who is talking?” repeated the clown. - “it’s me, here in your paper… The clown!"
• “But drawings don't talk!” Said the girl.
• “Don't talk! That's what you think girl. Drawings say it all about children, about what they feel and how they feel. Pay attention now, I’ll explain.” Said the clown, sitting in the paper.
• “You Drew me because you like clowns, right? You probably go to the circus every now and then, and the clowns amuse you. And even though the art of the circus may be dying, the clowns are still very important for the children. When they are really small, some of them are scared of us, but later, when they grow up a bit, They play with us a lot. And One more thing, it is not only we clown drawings that can talk to you. Come on now... Try it out, just draw anything you want and you will see.” Insists the clown, laying down.

Bio
Hi there!
Thank you for visiting my profile.
If you are looking for a Portuguese/English translator you came to the right place.
Nice to meet you!
My name is Richard Mendes, I am a professional translator from Brazil and I specialize in web content, info products, localization, and audiovisual translation. I am looking to build long-term professional relationships; I take pride in my punctuality, and I am especially proud to say that I have never missed a deadline.
I started my career in December of 2017 and, since then, I have translated ebooks in various subjects, ranging from self-help to parenting, as well as online courses, titles and descriptions, blog posts, and, on one very fun occasion, fairy tales!
I have also created and timed subtitles for various videos using Aegisub and subtitle edit and localized games and software working in JSON files using Poedit and Poeditor.
In addition, I have experience in technical, medical and legal translation, having translated business plans, contracts, presentations, medical reports, surveys, SQL databases, legal and personal documents, and more.
All with great feedback from my clients!
There were some rough times, but 2018 taught me that I can do it, that I have the skills, the dedication, and the perseverance that I need to have a successful career in translation.
2019 will be a year for growth and experimentation for me; I'm going to revamp my resume and start contacting translation companies, I will create a professional website for my business, I will be more active on social média, and I will look for new ways to promote my business!
My main objective this year will be to build a clientele and forge long-term professional relationships.
If you have any questions or want a free quote, please feel free to contact me at any time; I am almost always online and would love to help you in any way I can.
Thank you for your interest and best regards,
Richard F. Mendes.
