Pablo Neruda - The Eighth of September lyrics

Today, this day was a brimming cup, today, this day was the immense wave, today, it was all the earth. Today the stormy sea lifted us in a kiss so high that we trembled in a lightningflash and, tied, we went down to sink without untwining. Today our bodies became vast, they grew to the edge of the world and rolled melting into a single drop of wax or meteor. Between you and me a new door opened and someone, still faceless, was waiting for us there. [original Spanish text] Hoy, este dia fue una copa plena, hoy, este dia fue la immensa ola, hoy, fue toda la tierra. Hoy el mar tempestuoso nos levanto en un beso tan alto que temblamos a la luz de un relampago y, atados, descendimos a sumergirnos sin desenlazarnos . Entre tu y yo se abrio una nueva puerta y alguien, sin rostro aun, alli nos esperaba.
