Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voice. Her bright body. Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
Pablo Neruda
Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines
Tonight I could write the saddest line. Write, for example, 'The night has fallen and the blue star twinkled in the distance.' The night wind howled in the sky. Tonight I could write the saddest line. I loved him, and sometimes he loved me too. Through nights like this, I hold him in my arms I was kissed again and again under the endless sky. He sometimes loved me, and I loved him. How can one not have loved her still great eyes. Tonight I could write the saddest line. To think that I don't have him. To feel that I lost him. Heard it was a big night, even bigger without him. And the verse falls on the soul like dew on a green meadow. What is the problem of love I can not protect him. The night has passed and he is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My soul was not satisfied that it had lost him. My gaze searched for him as if it was going to him. My heart sought him, and he was not with me. The same night bleached the same trees. We, back then, were not the same. I no longer love him, that's for sure, but how I loved him. My voice is trying to find the wind to touch the listener. Other people. She will be another's property. Like my previous kiss. His voice. His body is bright. His eyes are infinite. I don't love him anymore, that's for sure, but maybe I do. Love is short, forget it is long. Because on nights like this I hold him in my arms My soul is not satisfied that it has lost itself. Even if this was the last pain he made me suffer and this is the last verse I wrote for him.
