- YOUR LAUGHTER
- Take bread away from me, if you wish,
- take air away, but
- do not take from me your laughter.
- Do not take away the rose,
- the lance flower that you pluck,
- the water that suddenly
- bursts forth in joy,
- the sudden wave
- of silver born in you.
- My struggle is harsh and I come back
- with eyes tired
- at times from having seen
- the unchanging earth,
- but when your laughter enters
- it rises to the sky seeking me
- and it opens for me all
- the doors of life.
- My love, in the darkest
- hour your laughter
- opens, and if suddenly
- you see my blood staining
- the stones of the street,
- laugh, because your laughter
- will be for my hands
- like a fresh sword.
- Next to the sea in the autumn,
- your laughter must raise
- its foamy cascade,
- and in the spring, love,
- I want your laughter like
- the flower I was waiting for,
- the blue flower, the rose
- of my echoing country.
- Laugh at the night,
- at the day, at the moon,
- laugh at the twisted
- streets of the island,
- laugh at this clumsy
- boy who loves you,
- but when I open
- my eyes and close them,
- when my steps go,
- when my steps return,
- deny me bread, air,
- light, spring,
- but never your laughter
- for I would die.
