SORRY TO YELL BUT READ BELOW!!!!! IT'S IMPORTANT!!!
Do NOT give you boyfriend a BabelFish translation of a poem for Valentine's Day. So you can see what I mean, try putting the English poem thru to Spanish. Now take that Spanish and use BabelFish to turn it into English.
Make any sense? Makes about as much in Spanish.
Maybe if you want to run a poem by him or something on just any day, that would be O.K.
But for a Valentine's gift, I'd recommend actually LOOKING for a translation of that poem.
Oh, and one thing: if the original English poem rhymes and is metered, and the Spanish translation also rhymes and is metered, then they must probably be two very different poems. It's hard to write the same poem down in a different language, but WAY, WAY harder to preserve the rhyme and meter without changing the whole meaning.
Finally, IS it even a certain poem in particular, or are you still trying to find one? Neruda's always good...

Most of Pablo Neruda's poems are translated from Spanish to English.
Shakespeare's sonnets are available in Spanish.

The Spanish word for Poetry is "Poesía", so you could try an advanced google search for "Poesía", and tell it to only find results in Spanish sites.
You can then figure out what it's saying yourself by having something such as Freetranslation.com translate the page for you, so you know what the poem actually says.
But as the other guy said, Poetry is hard to translate.

Try babelfish at AltaVista. You paste in the text, then select the from/to languages. It may not be the perfect translation - poetry is hard to translate, anyway - but it will give you a start.
