Mario Benedetti, I'll miss you

I know this is a fashion blog, but one of my favourite poets has passed away, and in the end, fashion has something to do with poetry, doesn't it?


Two of my favourite poems by Benedetti



Chau n�mero tres
Te dejo con tu vida
tu trabajo
tu gente
con tus puestas de sol
y tus amaneceres.

Sembrando tu confianza
te dejo junto al mundo
derrotando imposibles
segura sin seguro.

Te dejo frente al mar
descifr�ndote sola
sin mi pregunta a ciegas
sin mi respuesta rota.

Te dejo sin mis dudas
pobres y malheridas
sin mis inmadureces
sin mi veteran�a.

Pero tampoco creas
a pie juntillas todo
no creas nunca creas
este falso abandono.

Estar� donde menos
lo esperes
por ejemplo
en un �rbol a�oso
de oscuros cabeceos.

Estar� en un lejano
horizonte sin horas
en la huella del tacto
en tu sombra y mi sombra.

Estar� repartido
en cuatro o cinco pibes
de esos que vos mir�s
y enseguida te siguen.

Y ojal� pueda estar
de tu sue�o en la red
esperando tus ojos
y mir�ndote.



Don�t Save Yourself

Don't Save yourself,
Don�t be immobile
On the edge of the road,
Don't freeze the joy,
Don't love with reluctance,
Don't save yourself now
or ever,
Don't save yourself,
Don't fill with calm,
Don't reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
Don't let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
Don�t speak without lips,
Don't fall asleep without sleepiness,
Don't think of you without blood,
Don't judge yourself without time.

But if in spite of everything
You cannot avoid it
And you freeze the joy,
And you love with reluctance,
And you save yourself now,
And you full with calm,
And you reserve of the world
Just a calm place,
And you let fall your lids
Heavy as trials,
And you speak without lips,
And you fall asleep without sleepiness,
And you think yourself without blood,
And you judge yourself without time,
And you are immobile
On the edge of the road,
And you save yourself,
Then
Don't stay with me.
