I like for you to be still

我喜欢你是寂静的 英文版 作者：巴勃鲁·聂鲁达 (智利) I like for you to be still it is as though you are absent and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you It seems as though your eyes had flown away and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth as all things are filled with my soul your emerge from the things, fill with my soul you are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams and you are like the word melancholy I like for you to be still, and you seem far away It sounds as though you are lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you Let me come to be still in your silence And let me talk to you with your silence That is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid I like for you to be still it is as though you are absent distant and full of sorrow, as though you had died One word then, one smile, is enough And I’m happy, happy that’s not true
