Cancion Para Pablo Neruda
Atahualpa Yupanqui
Song for Pablo Neruda
Pablo our who art in Chile
Wind in the wind
Cosmic voice of ancient snail
We tell you
Thanks for the tenderness you gave us
For the swallows that fly with your verses
From boat to boat. From branch to branch
From silence to silence
The love of men repeats your poems
In every dungeon in America
a boy remembers your poems
Pablo our who art in Chile
The whole landscape guards your giant dream
The humidity of the plant and the rock
there in the south
The crumbled sand, Vicuña inside
in the desert
And up there, the saltpeter, the seagulls and the sea
Pablo our who art in Chile
Thanks, for the tenderness you gave us
