Pablo Neruda

Si de pronto no existes,si de pronto no vives,yo seguiré viviendo
No me atrevo,no me atrevo a escribirlo,si te mueres
Yo seguiré viviendo
Porque donde no tiene voz un hombreallí, mi voz

Love, we're going home now,
Where the vines clamber over the trellis:
Even before you, the summer will arrive,
On its honeysuckle feet, in your bedroom

I remember you as you were in the last autumn
You were the grey beret and the still heart
In your eyes the flames of the twilight fought on

We have lost even this twilight
No one saw us this evening hand in handwhile the blue night dropped on the world
I have seen from my windowthe fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops
Sometimes a piece of sunburned like a coin ...

Here I love you
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other

Littlerose,roselet,at times,tiny and naked,it seemsas though you would fitin one of my hands,as though I’ll clasp you like thisand carry you to my mouth,butsuddenlymy feet touch your feet and my mouth your lips:you have grown,your shoulders rise l...
