ROMANTIC SPANISH POEMS – Body of a woman, by Pablo Neruda

CUERPO DE MUJERCuerpo de mujer, blancas colinas, muslos blancos, te pareces al mundo en tu actitud de entrega. Mi cuerpo de labriego salvaje te socava, y hace saltar el hijo del fondo de la tierra. Fui solo como un túnel. De mí huían los pájaros, y en mí la noche entraba su invasión poderosa. Para sobrevivirme te forjé como un arma, como una flecha en mi arco, como una piedra en mi honda. Pero cae la hora de la venganza, y te amo. Cuerpo de piel, de musgo, de leche ávida y firme. Ah los vasos del pecho! Ah los ojos de ausencia! Ah las rosas del pubis! Ah tu voz lenta y triste! Cuerpo de mujer mía, persistiré en tu gracia. Mi sed, mi ansia sin límite, mi camino indeciso! Oscuros cauces donde la sed eterna sigue, y la fatiga sigue, y el dolor infinito.

BODY OF A WOMANBody of woman, white hills, white thighs, you look like the world in your attitude of surrender. My body wild laborer digs in you and makes the son leap from the depths of the earth. I was just like a tunnel. The birds fled from me, and me the night entered its powerful invasion. To survive myself I forged as a weapon, like an arrow in my bow, a stone in my sling. But it falls payback time, and I love you. Body of skin, of moss, of eager and firm milk. Ah vessels in the chest! Ah the eyes of absence! Ah, the pubic roses! Ah your voice slow and sad! Body of my woman, I will persist in your grace. My thirst, my craving without limit, my indecisive way! Dark riverbeds where eternal thirst follows, and fatigue follows, and infinite pain.
