He aqui al tremendo cantante y poeta ,segun mi parecer,Joaquin Sabina,rindiendo un homenaje a P.Neruda.El poema que Sabina nos entrega,se refiere al pensamiento que el Nobel tiene de aqullos que enjuician   more...su poesía.  less

UN POEMA DEL GRAN PABLO NERUDA donde muestra su filosofia de vida.

poema de amor

"with you I float along loving a wide Mississippi twards a femine sea."

movie clips with Neruda's poem. Music and orchestration by José Cura.
Sonnet XCII

My love, if I should die and you should not,
my love, if you should die and I not,
tell us not to yield more ground   more...to pain;
there are no limits to the pain we live through.

Dust in the wheat, sand in the sands,
the weather, errant waters, the wandering
winds, carried us like sailing grain.
We might never have found each other.

We give back that tiny infinity,
this prairie on which we met.
But this love, [love], has not finished.

And just as it was never born,
it will not die, it is like a long river,
changing only lands and lips.

Translated by Ivan Moody

Sonnet LXXXIX

When I die, I want
your hands on my eyes:
I want the light and the wheat
of your beloved hands
to pass over me once more
their coolness:
to feel the smoothness
which changed my destiny.

I want you to live while I,
asleep, await you,
I want your ears to continue
to listen to the wind,
I want you to smell the sea
which we loved together
and to continue to tread the sand
wich we trod.

I want what I love to remain living
and I loved you and made you my song
more than all the world,
so to continue to blossom,
you flowered,

so that you attain all
that my love ordains,
so that my shadow
may wander through your hair,
so that they willknow
the reason for my song.  less
