I like for you to be still

Pablo Neruda

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

You emerge from the things

Filled with my soul

You are like my soul

A butterfly of dream

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

So you would've died

One word then, One smile is enough

And I'm happy;

Happy that it's not true

我喜欢你是寂静的

聂鲁达

我喜欢你是寂静的，

仿佛你消失了一样。 

你从远处聆听我，

我的声音却无法触及你。 

好像你的双眼已经飞离远去， 

如同一个吻，封缄了你的嘴。 

所有的事物都有我的灵魂， 

你从所有的事物中浮现，

带着我的灵魂。 

你就像是我的灵魂，

一只梦的蝴蝶， 

你就像一个词：忧郁。 

我喜欢你是寂静的，

好像你已远去。 

你听起来像在悲叹，

一只如鸽子般悲鸣的蝴蝶。 

你从远处聆听我，

我的声音无法企及你。 

让我在你的沉默中安静无声。 

并且让我借你的沉默与你说话， 

你的沉默明亮如灯，

简单如指环。 

你就像黑夜，

拥有寂静与群星。 

你的沉默就是星星的沉默，

遥远而明亮。 

我喜欢你是寂静的，

仿佛你消失了一样， 

遥远且哀伤，

仿佛你已经死了。 

那时，一个字，一个微笑，已经足够。 

而我会觉得幸福，

因为，那并非真实。
