Romanian “Ozymandias” Translation
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I need a fluent Romanian rendition of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s sonnet “Ozymandias” for my high-school literature hand-out. The goal is educational: students should hear the original voice, rhythm, and irony while reading lines that feel contemporary and approachable in Romanian.
The finished piece should respect the 14-line structure and approximate the meter and rhyme where possible, yet never at the expense of clarity. A short set of teaching notes (two-to-three sentences per stanza is enough) explaining key images, historical references, and any unavoidable archaisms will help me spark classroom discussion.
Deliverables
• Romanian translation of the full poem, ready for print and digital use (DOCX or Google Doc).
• Concise explanatory notes beneath or on a separate page.
Turnaround: a polished draft within two weeks would be ideal so I can review it before distributing it to the class.
Please bring both literary sensitivity and an ear for what engages teenagers; I’m happy to answer questions as you work.
