English to Spanish: Genghis Khan General field: Other Detailed field: Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Source text - English Host VO In 1162, deep in the heart of Asia, a child was born. He was clutching a blood clot, a sign from heaven that he was destined to be a great warrior. His life was to become a legend. His name? Genghis Khan.
Host VO Many believe his story is simple, that he was the incarnation of evil. A brutal barbarian who butchered millions.
Host VO But the real character of Genghis Khan is far more intriguing. How did this illiterate outcast turn the feuding tribes of Mongolia into a powerful nation? And how did he transform the Mongol hordes into a ruthless and disciplined fighting machine. An army with revolutionary tactics and ingenuous weapons that ultimately stood poised to conquer Europe.
Host VO And why on his deathbed did he believe his divine mission remained unfulfilled.
Male Voice For Genghis Khan VO Soon I will know death, but I will never know my destiny.
Host VO Shortly after his death, his heirs gathered their memories into an epic account of his life. They called it The Secret History of the Mongols.
Host VO Evidence from Chinese and Persian sources, the work of leading scholars and The Secret History allowed this to be the most complete television portrait of Genghis Khan ever made. The characters are all real historical figures and the words of Genghis Khan are rooted in the great speeches of The Secret History. This is the story of how that tiny fist turned to iron and came to rule the largest land empire ever known to man.

Translation - Spanish NARRADOR: En 1162 nació un niño en pleno corazón de Asia. Sostenía en su puño un grumo de sangre, símbolo divino que le destinaba a ser un gran guerrero. Su vida se iba a hacer legendaria. Su nombre… Genghis Khan.
NARRADOR: Muchos creen que su historia es sencilla, que simplemente era la encarnación de la maldad. Un bárbaro sanguinario que acabó con millones de vidas.
NARRADOR: Pero detrás de Gengis Kan hay un personaje mucho más interesante. ¿Cómo pudo un proscrito analfabeto convertir a las tribus feudales de Mongolia en una poderosa nación? ¿Cómo pudo transformar al pueblo mongol en un ejército de combate disciplinado y despiadado? Un cuerpo militar con tácticas revolucionarias y armas ingeniosas cuyo objetivo último fue la conquista de Europa.
NARRADOR: ¿Y por qué, ya en su lecho de muerte, seguía creyendo que su misión divina estaba incompleta?
GENGIS: Pronto me enfrentaré a la muerte, pero nunca conoceré mi destino.
NARRADOR: Poco después de morir, sus herederos contaron sus memorias en un cuento épico sobre su vida. Lo llamaron “La historia secreta de los mongoles”.
NARRADOR: Las pruebas provenientes de fuentes chinas y persas, el trabajo de grandes eruditos y “La historia secreta de los mongoles” han permitido que éste sea el retrato televisivo de Gengis Kan más completo que jamás se haya hecho. Todos los personajes están basados en figuras históricas reales y las intervenciones de Gengis Kan se extrajeron de los diálogos de “La historia secreta”. Esta es la historia de un pequeño puño que se convirtió en hierro para gobernar el mayor imperio que jamás ha conocido el hombre.
NARRADOR: Gengis Kan.
NARRADOR: Era un nómada pobre de las remotas tierras de Mongolia. Gengis Kan tuvo una trayectoria fuera de lo común. El chico que más tarde sería Gengis Kan se llamaba Temujin. Era el hijo de un jefe tribal guerrero. Con tan sólo nueve años recibió la noticia que cambiaría el resto de su vida.
GENGIS: Mi padre fue envenenado por una tribu rival.
MADRE: Temujin, llegas demasiado tarde.
MADRE: Temujin…
GENGIS: Mi madre me dijo que los enemigos de mi padre serían enemigos en mi corazón para siempre. Desde ese día, nunca más volví a ser niño.
