Next, we share three of Benedetti's best poems:
I love you
Considered as Mario Benedetti's most famous poem, In reviewing the reasons for your love, which is not limited to an ephemeral moment. It is a love that looks at the other's heart, and examines the fibers of its commitment, ethics and universal love capacity.
Your hands are my caress my daily chords I love you because your hands work for justice
If I love you, it is because my love is my accomplice and everything and on the street side elbow we are much more than two
Your eyes are my spell against the bad day I love you for your gaze that looks and sows future
Your mouth that is yours and mine your mouth is not wrong I love you because your mouth knows how to scream rebellious
If I love you, it is because my love is my accomplice and everything and on the street side elbow we are much more than two
And for your sincere face and your vagabund
And because love is not aura or moral candid and because we are a couple who knows that he is not alone
I love you in my paradise that is to say that in my country people live happy even if they have no permission
If I love you, it is because my love is my accomplice and everything and on the street side by side we are much more than two.
Let's make a deal
In this poem, Benedetti represents love as a commitment offered, As far as the subject loved as a lover is not concerned, but as an equal with whom there is a complicity pact that is strengthened as a value.
Companion you know can count on me not up to two or up to ten but count on me
If you ever warn that I look into her eyes and a love vein recognizes your rifles in mine or think what delirium despite the vein or maybe because you exist you can count on me
If other times he finds me sullen for no reason, I don't think what laziness you can count on me
But let's make a deal I would like to count on you
It is so nice to know that you have one feels alive and when I say this I want to count even until two even if it is up to five not already for you to go pressurized in my aid but to know for sure that you know you can count on me.
Man who looks at his country from exile
He Benedetti's second love after his wife was his country. This author lived in the exile during the time of the military dictatorship in Uruguay Because of his political convictions, so this poem expresses his desire to return and affection for his homeland.
Green country and wounded region of really poor homeland
Ronco and empty country tomb girl blood on blood
Country far and close to the executioner the best to the stocks
Violin country in the stock market or silence hospital or poor artigas
shivering country fist and lyrics of Calabozo and Praderas
country you will be up
