Tu Risa.

In the spirit of National Poetry month, I bring you one of my favorite poems.

Your Laughter.

Take bread away from me, if you wish,
take air away, but
do not take from me your laughter.

Do not take away the rose,
the lance flower that you pluck,
the water that suddenly
bursts forth in joy,
the sudden wave
of silver born in you.

My struggle is harsh and I come back
with eyes tired
at times from having seen
the unchanging earth,
but when your laughter enters
it rises to the sky seeking me
and it opens for me all
the doors of life.

My love, in the darkest
hour your laughter
opens, and if suddenly
you see my blood staining
the stones of the street,
laugh, because your laughter
will be for my hands
like a fresh sword.

Next to the sea in the autumn,
your laughter must raise
its foamy cascade,
and in the spring, love,
I want your laughter like
the flower I was waiting for,
the blue flower, the rose
of my echoing country.

Laugh at the night,
at the day, at the moon,
laugh at the twisted
streets of the island,
laugh at this clumsy
boy who loves you,
but when I open
my eyes and close them,
when my steps go,
when my steps return,
deny me bread, air,
light, spring,
but never your laughter
for I would die.

Tu Risa.

Quítame el pan si quieres 
quítame el aire, pero 
no me quites tu risa.        

No me quites la rosa, 
la lanza que desgranas, 
el agua que de pronto        
estalla en tu alegría, 
la repentina ola 
de planta que te nace.        

Mi lucha es dura y vuelo 
con los ojos cansados 
a veces de haber visto        
la tierra que no cambia, 
pero al entrar tu risa 
sube al cielo buscándome        
y abre para mí todas 
las puertas de la vida. 

Amor mío, en la hora        
más oscura desgrana 
tu risa, y si de pronto 
ves que mi sangre mancha        
las piedras de la calle, 
ríe, porque tu risa 
será para mis manos        
como una espada fresca. 

Junto al mar en otoño, 
tu risa debe alzar        
su cascada de espuma, 
y en primavera, amor, 
quiero tu risa como        
la flor que yo esperaba, 
la flor azul, la rosa 
de mi patria sonora.        

Ríe de la noche 
del día, de la luna, 
ríete de las calles 
torcidas de la isla,        
ríete del torpe 
muchacho que te quiere, 
pero cuando yo abro 
los ojos y los cierro,        
cuando mis pasos van, 
cuando vuelven mis pasos, 
niégame el pan, el aire,        
la luz, la primavera, 
pero tu risa nunca 
porque me moriría.

Pablo Neruda.
