Pablo Neruda - Still Another Day: 1 lyrics

Today is that day, the day that carried A desperate light that since has died Don't let the squatters know: Let's keep it all between us Day, between your bell And my secret Today is dead winter in the forgotten land That comes to visit me, with a cross on the map And a volcano in the snow, to return to me To return again the water Fallen on the roof of my childhood Today when the sun began with its shafts To tell the story, so clear, so old The slanting rain fell like a sword The rain my hard heart welcomes You, my love, still asleep in August My queen, my woman, my vastness, my geography Kiss of mud, the carbon-coated zither You, vestment of my persistent song Today you are reborn again and with the sky's Black water confuse me and compel me: I must renew my bones in your kingdom I must still uncloud my earthly duties
