Pablo Neruda - The Queen lyrics

I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen. When you go through the streets No one recognizes you. No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks At the carpet of red gold That you tread as you pa**, The nonexistent carpet. And when you appear All the rivers sound In my body, bells Shake the sky, And a hymn fills the world. Only you and I, Only you and I, my love, Listen to it. [original Spanish version] Yo te he nombrado reina. Hay mas alta que tu, mas altas. Hay mas puras que tu, mas bellas. Pero tu eres la reina. Cuando vas por las calles nadie te reconoce. Nadie ve tu corona de cristal, nadie mira la alfombra de oro rojo que pisas cuando pasas, la alfombra que no existe. Y cuando asomas suenan todos los rios en mi cuerpo, sacuden el cielo las campanas, y un himno llena el mundo. Solo tu y yo, solo tu y yo, amor mio, lo escuchamos.
