English to Spanish
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
My daugher is in her third and final year of her Master's Degree in film at the California Institute of the Arts, and she wants certain parts of it translated into Spanish since she is half Peruvian (the better half) and her film for her thesis is based on a story in Peru. It is very short, but extremely important (to her and hence to me). Since Spanish is not my native language (obviously), and since her mother passed away 17 years ago, and since I am not strong in literature and/or poetry, I am appealing for help as to the best way to state a few of the phrases.
And so the silver moon and the golden sun were born.
Like brother and sister, perpetually following each other.
They were cursed with the constancy of eternal love, the worst kind. Love that never dies and love that never lives.
Y así nacieron la luna plateada y el sol dorado.
Como hermano y hermana, constantemente siguiéndose.
Fueron maldecidos con el constante amor eterno, el peor tipo. El amor que nunca muere y el amor que nunca vive.
TIA - Mike :)

como hermanos, permanentemente siguiéndose el uno al otro
"como hermano y hermana" does not sound very natural to me, certainly (in Spain at least) you would be more likely to hear "hermanos".
"perpetually" would "perpetuamente", but that also sounds strange to me as this is a meaning that is most often used as "perpetuidad", "permanentemente" sounds more natural to me in this instance.
