I don't know about that, I've all but forgotten every love I've ever had. I can't even remember the sound of their voice or the touch of their hand. Even to see a breif image of their face takes immense effort, and some are lost altogether to the sands of time. Really, my entire life is mostly one cavernous void that has left me feeling just as empty.
I’ve never been in a relationship before, but the moment I got teary eyed, despite not having experienced anything like it, I knew, this is when a poem becomes art.
used to read and study this poem in our college days. it was nothing to me before. yes, it was touching. but didn't really reach my heart. last night, i remembered the lines "love is so short, forgetting is so long". i watched this today and now that i'm older, and been through a lot, i could almost hear my heart break with these lines.
I have always appreciated the poems of Pablo Neruda. He has always had a matter of fact and simplistic approach to his works. For example; “Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.” This video was beautifuly made!
I had a Spanish teacher whose wife and children were murdered by the government of Chile for the crime of publishing poetry of Pablo Neruda, a socialist. He survived to remarry. To have more children. Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
@@maniimanii1766 The teacher? I don't know, but you could probably say Neruda was a socialist. Like many intellectuals in his time, his views were left leaning and anti-fascist. Neruda was once a member of Chile's Communist Party and was elected and served as senator. But then, when Chile's president at that time turned repressive and started persecuting communists, he had to go into exile for a few years. Back in his country, he later became a supporter of Chile's first elected Socialist president, Salvador Allende. Neruda died only days after a very violent, U.S. supported military coup brought about Allende's death and ended Chile's democracy. I am guessing he would have been a Socialist today.

I visiting a grave once and as I was leaving I saw an old man kneeling in front of a grave stone and as I left I looked over at him and he leaned foreward kissing the stone and bowed his head . this poem reminded me of him and his loved one .
Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example,'The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too. How could one not have loved her great still eyes. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is shattered and she is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her. My sight searches for her as though to go to her. My heart looks for her, and she is not with me. The same night whitening the same trees. We, of that time, are no longer the same. I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her. My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing. Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before. Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes. I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her. Love is so short, forgetting is so long. Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her. Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her.
Never express what makes you happy because the land is brimming with lingerers. And they'll soulsnatch from you even the dimmest of light. Because these wretches bask in the twilight of a man's misfortune.
A few months ago my teacher had us read this poem watch this for an assignment. Since then it has become one of my favorites. I keep coming back to this video. So beautiful and moving.
You ever just feel lost? Drifting through this beautiful and cruel world, not knowing where to go? Or where you fit in? But you try your best to stay positive. Hoping you finally find your way.
I've always thought French for form, english for images, but Spanish for passion. The very, very little I know of Chinese poetry makes me say it's strength is in mélancolique nostalgie.
It's a surreal thing that I will forever keep in my brain how my words sound in a different person. I WILL SAY THIS AND ONLY THIS, IM A LITTLE DIFFERENT BUT NOT CRAZY JUST ALITTLE DIFFERENT GOD BLESS.
It's a wonderful thing what poetry does to you. What a beautiful beautiful poem. Made me miss someone once very close to me. I have always loved this poem, but the music and the recitation are top notch. Thanks for this!
This is only the beginning. A lot of Neruda books to read. I have like 5 Neruda books in Spanish. I find it in old used bookstores in Mexico. But is fantastic translate his poetry for the English speakers.
Beautiful. It has a lot of emotion compact in one line, the saddest line. Where in this heart, the place it get started, where in my mind that keep my strength, to console this grieving... Coz it takes too long to heal, to heal... So tonight i can write the saddest line, so the feel cant bound to me no more, not anymore.
Thank you for sharing, this came up as a suggestion from in my RUclips feed and has been a hard day. My father's Father's Day and he's no longer here as well as my boyfriend who died in a fire and his name was pablo thank you
Without saying, the poem is beautiful. The words, which impact me are the ones about pain and the last time she will make me suffer. For I know, there can be no love without suffering.
Is that you reading this? This voice is so beautiful and full of emotion. The reading and the pictures make this poem so personal and affecting. Well done.
J Gib thank you so much! Yes I am working on more as we speak, since school has started again I find it hard to find the time to make them as often but I haven't quit don't worry!
- if all i can ever have are the memories that weve shared, all i will ever do is cherish them. despite my life being less of you, i will rejoice for all that you have more without me. ×
"love is so short, forgetting is long"
Wow⚘
Love never ends That's why there is no forgetting. 💜

Pablo Neruda must have had his heart in pieces to write this.

"As a child, I was afraid of the dark and the monsters on the outside.
As a man, I run away from the light, afraid to show the monsters within."
Is that your quote? Who said it ?
@@alvarominor1312 Yes I wrote it.
Thoughtful
Your video brought tears to my eyes.. Life. A fleeting moment in an infinite amount of moments...
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example,'The night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.
What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my sould is not satisfied that it has lost her.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
thank you!😄
Ya Latif. My heart is trying to come up for air. Thank you
Thank you!
You have written the wrong word "Shattered" it should be "Starry".
Thank you, highly appreciated.
"Love is short forgetting is long " speechless
This video is fine art.
YESSS! Stunning
such immense and devastating beauty,the cruel joys of true love
We of that time are no longer the same.. This line makes me shiver so much, it is so true.
Everything must change , how we yearn for that person we both were in that time.
PABLO NERUDA WRITE THIS POEM WHEN HE IS 18 YEARS OLD, AND THIS POEM IS CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE FIVE POEMS MORE PERFECT EVER DONE...
Bravo to the late W S Merwin (one of my favorite poets) for translating this magnificent poem with the same gut wrenching effect as the original
Never express what makes you happy because the land is brimming with lingerers. And they'll soulsnatch from you even the dimmest of light. Because these wretches bask in the twilight of a man's misfortune.
Wow! Is this quote from somewhere?
Another's. He will be another' s. As he was before my kisses.
His voice, his bright body. His infinite eyes.
There was then and here is now... like leaves falling in the wind, eternity has taken both of us beyond the cosmos, we no longer are the same.
"...to hear the immense night still more immense without her...". Somehow, this encapsulates something more to me than the other parts of this poem.
A few months ago my teacher had us read this poem watch this for an assignment. Since then it has become one of my favorites. I keep coming back to this video. So beautiful and moving.
This hit me in a place I was not ready for
You ever just feel lost?
Drifting through this beautiful and cruel world, not knowing where to go?
Or where you fit in?
But you try your best to stay positive. Hoping you finally find your way.
That's myevery day...
On the daily I do
I pray that you find your way through all the craziness.
You speak out of my heart
In English or Spanish Neruda always gets me. This poem is one of the greatest testament of love and longing.😌
I've always thought French for form, english for images, but Spanish for passion. The very, very little I know of Chinese poetry makes me say it's strength is in mélancolique nostalgie.
His poetry, his words, always play like my favorite love song.
This is the one of the best, yet saddest videos I have ever seen.
Yes we all grieve for someone and for the many we lost. Beautiful video, beautiful poem and we can all relate because we all lost someone we loved ❤️
Do you guys get teary eyed or is it only me?

I've hasmd this video saved for years and listened to it often. This sounds like a different narrator. 😳
Love is a feeling that lives in our hearts. Until our time is done.N beyond. That is true love.
Profound words, aching with the gravity of longing even for those that had never loved even if they did exist.
Wow such a beautiful video matching the poem. And so beautifully spoken as well! Thank youy
One of the best love poems ❤ by Mr. Neruda
Wow. Can we all appreciate this amazingly touching video. Awesome.
"After a thousand poets die one neruda is born".
That had to be one of the saddest things I´ve ever heard. So so so SAD! :(
The voice,the video and the background score is just too perfect!!
"Es tan corto el amor , y es tan largo el olvido."😔
