00:30Oh
01:00Tonight I can write the saddest lines by Pablo Neruda translated by W.S. Mowin
01:10Tonight I can write the saddest lines
01:13Write for example
01:15The night is starry and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance
01:20The night wind revolves in the sky and sings
01:24Tonight I can write the saddest lines
01:26I loved her and sometimes she loved me too
01:32Through nights like this when I held her in my arms
01:35I kissed her again and again
01:37under the endless sky
01:39She loved me
01:41Sometimes I loved her too
01:43How could one not have loved her great still eyes?
01:48Tonight I can write the saddest lines to think that I do not have her to feel that I have lost her
01:57To hear the immense night still more immense without her
02:01And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture
02:06What does it matter that my love could not keep her?
02:09The night is starry and she is not with me
02:14This is all in the distance someone is singing in the distance
02:21My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her
02:25My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer
02:31My heart looks for her and she is not with me
02:34the same night
02:36whitening the same trees
02:38We of that time
02:40Are no longer the same
02:55I
02:59No longer love her that's certain but how I loved her
03:05My voice tries to find the wind to touch her hearing
03:10And others she will be in others as she was before my kisses
03:16her voice
03:17her bright body
03:19her infinite eyes
03:22I no longer love her that's certain
03:26But maybe I love her
03:28Love is so short
03:30Forgetting is so long
03:34Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
03:39My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her
03:52Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
03:57And these the last verses
03:59That I write for her
04:21You
