Mia Couto ou da (im)possibilidade de traduzir
Confesso que nutro uma particular afeição pela escrita de Mia Couto, o que se deve a dois motivos primordiais: ao poder da invenção como motor da recriação linguística e à musicalidade impregnada nas palavras que cria e com que brinca sem cessar. Há, de facto, uma forte componente lúdica na prosa (que mais não é do que poesia pura!) deste autor moçambicano. A língua é a matéria-prima por excelência, abrindo-se um horizonte basicamente infindável. Dir-se-ia que Mia Couto constrói um dicionário muito próprio, verdadeiramente único, em que as palavras despem as indumentárias rígidas da tradição, optando por outras mais coloridas, plenas de música e de sol.
Sempre me questionei acerca da (im)possibilidade de traduzir Mia Couto para outra língua, mesmo para línguas de matriz latina, pois denotam-se na sua escrita ecos muito profundos da "africanidade", do ritmo bamboleante que dos corpos se transporta para as palavras, de difícil tradutibilidade, a meu ver. Haverá sempre algo que se perde na tradução, o que neste caso será irreparável. Em Mia Couto, a essência da palavra reside na subversão do que nos é familiar e que se toma por adquirido.
Não resisto a deixar aqui um breve excerto do conto intitulado "A gorda indiana", extraído do livro Contos do Nascer da Terra (os negritos são meus e assinalam os pontos fulcrais):
- Quero ser como a flor que morre antes de velhecer.
Assim dizia Modari, a gorda indiana. Não morreu, não envelheceu. Simplesmente, engordou ainda mais. Finda a adolescência, ela se tinha imensado, planetária. Atirada a um leito, tonelável, imobilizada, enchendo de mofo o fofo estofo. (...)
Tanta substância, porém, lhe desabonava a força. A gorda não se sustinha de tanto sustento. Não tinha levante nem assento. (...)
Modari se extinguira. Seu corpo saíra da vida dela, o tempo se exilara de sua existência. A indiana se antigamentara. (...)
