and then given the equivalent functions within the language of targets taking into consideration the tradition of poetry in the language of those objectives.
3. The third approach is uses derivative content form. Here translator did not
consider the original of poetry: heshe uses the content of the poem as a starting point. By using the content of poem as a basis, heshe is free to
determine the form of poetry translations that heshe wants to make. 4.
The fourth type unrelated to the original poem, so it can be said this
approach is not translation approach. Inside this the translator simply uses the original poem as an inspiration, and the metapuisi does not reflect the
original, both in form and in content.

B. Data Analysis
From the data description above, the writer writes data that contains two
poetry in faithful translation. The writer analyze both in meaning, grammar, diction, and any figurative language which are decided. Then, she compares two poetry
between source language and target language to find out the method of translation poetry, especially faithful translation.
a. Poetry of Sihir Hujan and Black Magic Rain
1 Analysis of Stanza 1
These poetry divided into two stanza and four lines in every stanza. Stanza 1 contains the introduction or the beginning from the poetry.
SL : Hujan mengenal baik pohon, jalan, TL : The rain knows the trees, the road,
The translator uses faithful translation to express the same feeling with the author‟s SL. Grammatically, word “hujan” is a subject of noun in the first line is
transfer into “rain” and the translator adds “the” as determiner and uses simple present tense. Uses faithful translation in this data is suitable to describe about the
distinctive beauty of rain that seems to be mysterious. In this line, there is an element of metaphor and using imagery that is function to support the description about how
the rain implies to the magic is? The writer thinks this line uses imagery visual; in which the author describes several objects such as trees, roads, Gutters make the
readers imagine the sights when it rains drenching the object. For example, in phrase “hujan mengenal baik,” the word “mengenal” translated into “know” can be defined
as 1 to have information in your mind; 2 to be familiar with or have experience and understanding of.

Besides, the writer also argue about the phrase “hujan mengenal baik pohon, jalan
,” have metaphorical meaning in the TL. The writer argues that the phrase mengenal baik
refers to the word “hujan” where the rain likes a human that can recognize other creatures. In this case the author treats the rain as a metaphor
i tself. So, in this line the author wants to express the SL‟s message through metaphor
use standard metaphor and there is no change which the translator does grammatically.
The translator attempts to explain what the author means; what the message contained in this line that the writer thinks there is a hidden meaning to be conveyed
