Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines

Pablo Neruda

Original · Spanish
Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Escribir, por ejemplo: "La noche está estrellada,
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos".
English subtitle
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, 'The night is starry
and the stars are blue and 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.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
