On Tisha b'Av, I translated several kinot from the Sepharadi tradition, because there are no translated Sepharadi Tisha b'Av Siddurim in print (as far as I know) and I want to help others understand these in the unfortunate event that we should be singing these again next year.

Please send me suggestions for improvement at kbloom@gmail.com. Though the hebrew is a lot easier in the Sephardic tradition than in the Ashkenazi traditoin, I'm still a rank ametuer at this, and this was a big learning experience for me in terms of vocabulary. I may have (and probably did) make mistakes.

Also, I'm not sure how much more I'll translate in the year to come -- I'll probably restrict this project to the 3 weeks themselves if I put much more work into it at all, but there are a couple other translations you should be aware of if you want to print these for distribution: The Kinah אש תוקד בקרבי (on page 220 in the Avodat Hashem Tisha b'Av Machzor) has a substantially similar version in the Ashkenazi tradition, and a translation can be found in the ArtScroll Kinos (#31, I think). Additionally, the psalm מזמור לאסף אלהים באו גוים (on page 210) is a psalm, and many translations of psalms are available.
