This section is true English ,before i ask the question,I had stumbled on this poem called Flamenco.

                                The weeping begins 
                                from the guitar.
                                It is useless to silence it .
                                It is impossible to silence it.
                                It weeps on a single note 
                                like the water weeps
                                like the wind weeps
                                on the snow -capped mountain.
                                It is impossible to silence it.
                                It weeps for distant things.

Please ,could you format it in the way ,it was meant to be set out ,or should i rely on the help of rabbitwho or qfreed?/ Thank you Jadine

It is impossible to silence it = Es imposible callarla..

It is useless to silence it = Es inútil callarla.

It weeps for distant things = Llora por cosas distantes/lejanas.

this is my attempt raspberry

The weeping begins El llanto empieza
from the guitar. de la guitarra.
It is useless to silence it .No vale la pena callarla.
It is impossible to silence it .Es impossible callarla..
It weeps on a single note.llora una sola nota.
like the water weepscomo el agua llora.
like the wind weepscomo el viento llora.
on the snow-capped mountain.encima de la montaña nevada.
It is impossible to silence it.Es impossible callarla.
It weeps for distant things.Llora por cosas distintas.
