Summary/Abstract: Translations of poetry have their own characteristics. The question is not only to preserve the meaning, but also rythm, aliteration, melody or atmosphere of original. Between Czech and Romanian language exists some kind of phonetic and lexical coincidences which are usually given by principles of etymology. Translator can also meet some accidental coincidences. Overall view on the structure of poem allows the conscious use of both of them.
