Abstract

Chairil Anwar is the greatest poet in Indonesia who translated two English poems into its language. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the approaches of translation taken by him and to find out how these approaches deal with the translation result. The data were two poems, Huesca and SongIV created by W.H. Auden and John Confrod and their Indonesian translations. The researchers implemented descriptive qualitative method to compare the data between source language (SL) and target language (TL). Then, they were analyzed with related study; the approaches of Holmes’ poetry translation with consulting to the dictionaries. The result showed that Anwar applied dissimilar approaches, namely mimetic to translate Huesca and derivative content to translate Song IV. In conclusion, these approaches used by the poet proved that he was able to render the meaning from SL into TL successfully. Consequently, this led that readers may enjoy the poems in a poetic way.
