If you forget 聶魯達

經過旺角書店, 偶然發現書店正要舉辦智利詩人Pablo Neruda 的講座, 原來康文署今年的" 情迷拉丁"藝術節其中會排演一套關於Neruda的話劇："事先張揚的求愛事件"。不覺陌生，１０年前同名電影使我第一次認識Neruda的詩。１０年過去了，一次又一次勾起人們對他的懷念。想起他的一首”If you forget me":
I want you to know one thing　You know how this is　
If I look at the crystal moon at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window
lf I touch near the firethe mpalpable ash,or the wrinkled body of the log
Evervthing carrie‘s me to you As if everything that exists Aromas,light,medals,Or little boats that sail toward those isles of your that wait for me,well now.
If little by littleYou stop loving me,I shall stop loving you Little by little.
If suddenly you forget me Do not look for me.
For I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and madthe wind of bannersthat passes through my life,
And you decide to leave meat the shore of the heart where I have root Remember,that on that day, at that hour,
I shall lift my armsAnd my roots will set off to seek another land.
But, if each day, each hour, You feel that you are destined formewith implacable sweetness,
If each day a flower climbsup to your lips to seek me,
Ah my love, ah my own,in me all that fire is repeated,
In me nothing is extinguished or forgotten My love feeds on your love, beloved,
And as long as you liveit will be in your arms without leaving mine.
歷史沒有遺忘了他!
