Juan Garrido-Salgado # 23-23, El 23 de septiembre de 1973

La sospecha se afirma: Pablo Neruda fue asesinado

El expediente -un documento de 209 páginas que Proceso pudo consultar- pone en entredicho la información entregada por la clínica Santa María el día de la muerte del poeta, el 23 de septiembre de 1973, en la que se asegura que murió de “cáncer prostático metastizado”, tal como sostiene su certificado de defunción

Neruda's death at the September 23, 1973

 

Neruda death was a funeral

Through the silence of the streets of Santiago.

That morning

When the terror was anywhere

In front of the chariot dead poet

Behind Nobel Prize of Literature 1972

On both sides of his clandestine life

At the corner of La Chascona*

On each ditches where people stand with courage

 to saying goodbye to the comrade Poet.

I grew up writing poems during curfew

Crecí escribiendo poemas durante el ‘toque de queda’

Neruda mis poemas eran hojas de esas noches ocultas

contra esas armas de muerte apuntándole a tu nombre.

Neruda my poems were leaves of those hidden nights

against to those weapons of death pointing to your name.

 

 *La Chascona was the house of the poet in Santiago


















Second Version of my poem about Neruda

Pablo Neruda's death September 23, 1973

 

The death of Pablo Neruda was a funeral

In the silence and weapons trained on him to death or life?

On the streets of Santiago.

That morning

When terror occupied the city everywhere,

In front of the chariot dead poet

Behind of the Nobel Prize in Literature 1972

On both sides of the clandestine life

against the other traitor, he does not deserve appointed

and he chased  you and lost your trail in Andes mountains 1946*.

 

The soldiers stood at the corner of La Chascona *

In each ditches where people stood with courage

to said goodbye to Comrade poet.

I grew up writing poetry during the 'curfew'

Neruda my poems were leaves of those hidden nights

against weapons of death pointing to your name.

 

*La Chascona was the house of the poet in Santiago

* Neruda when to exile through the Andes mountains when Traitor Gonzalez Videla sentenced him (1946)
