Vincente Huidobro
Cantar
Todos los días
Cantar
Ella vendrá tan rápida
Que su sombra se quedará olvidada
Sin poder encontrar
En el camino
Las nubes hidrófilas
Se rasgan en las cimas de las hojas
La lluvia
Detrás del agua
El sol
Al final de una canción
Alguien doblará los años
Y caerá en mis brazos.

To sing
everyday
to sing
She will come so swift
that her shadow will stay forgotten
and will never find her
The hydrophilic clouds
are torn on the tops of the leaves
in the path
Someone will double the years
and fall into my arms
at the end of a song
The rain
behind the water
the sun
Translation: Mercedes Dembo
My commentary:
A call so the voice, the music be heard by those who the poet want.
The loved one will leave everything behind, whether its the fears, apprehensions and that shadow she speaks off. Rain, suffering, pain is part of the catharsis. Any time is fine when the devotion is mutual.
