La Reina (And Translation) Poem by Pablo Neruda
La Reina (And Translation)
The Queen
I have named you queen.
There are taller than you, taller.
There are purer than you, purer.
There are lovelier than you, lovelier.
But you are the queen.
When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.
Only you and I,
Only you and I, my love,
Listen to me.
------------------------
Yo te he nombrado reina.
Hay más altas que tú, más altas.
Hay más puras que tú, más puras.
Hay más bellas que tú, hay más bellas.
Pero tú eres la reina.
Cuando vas por las calles
nadie te reconoce.
Nadie ve tu corona de cristal, nadie mira
la alfombra de oro rojo
que pisas donde pasas,
la alfombra que no existe.
Y cuando asomas
suenan todos los ríos
en mi cuerpo, sacuden
el cielo las campanas,
y un himno llena el mundo.
Sólo tú y yo,
sólo tú y yo, amor mío,
lo escuchamos.
ITALIAN: ''LA REGINA'' Io ti ho nominato regina. Ve n'è di più alte di te, di più alte. Ve n'è di più pure di te, di più pure. Ve n'è di più belle di te, di più belle. Ma tu sei la regina. Quando vai per le strade nessuno ti riconosce Nessuno vede la tua corona di cristallo, nessuno guarda il tappeto d'oro rosso che calpesti dove passi, il tappeto che non esiste. E quando t'affacci tutti i fiumi risuonano nel mio corpo, scuotono il cielo le campane, e un inno empie il mondo. Tu sola ed io tu sola ed io, amor mio, lo udiamo.
mastermind craftsman of poetic words in this world is Pablo Neruda. Yeah - this poem is another best example of his brilliancy.......
This is the perfect example of how a poem employing simple words with down-to-earth narrative can be transformed into a real masterpiece. Thanks.
