Summary/Abstract: The main the main purpose of this work was to observe polysemic lexemes when translating an artistic text into another language. After a detailed analysis, we concluded that the trap that polysemic lexemes set before the translator was suc- cessfully circumvented by applying different translation techniques. One of the main characteristics that we noticed on polysemic lexemes from this corpus is that they do not always have equivalent meanings and that, in the case when polysemic lexemes from the source language do not have their polysemic equivalent in the language of translation, it is most often resorted to the descriptive translation, and somewhat less frequently to the use of the lexemes that have only one meaning.
