36 - Poem “Soneto XVII” by Pablo Neruda

Hola, amigos! Today we are going to read the poem "Soneto XVII" by Pablo Neruda that was a Chilean poet and politician who won the 1971 Nobel Prize in Literature. I will be reading the poem in Spanish very slowly and you will try to understand word by word. You will be learning some interesting words and new vocabulary and also you will be improving your listening skills in Spanish. I will translate the poem in English and then read in Spanish again in a normal speed but explaining some words at the same time.

Poem “Soneto XVII” by Pablo Neruda

No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.

Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.

Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,
sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

Enjoy the poem and the Episode :)
