Gorgeous composition and arrangement 🎶😊

SNR selection 24-Oct-2025

I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Puedo Escribir" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S. Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

Puedo Escribir (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.

Escribir por ejemplo: “La noche está estrellada, 
y tiritan, azules, los astros, a lo lejos.”

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche.
Yo la quise, y a veces ella también me quiso.

Oir la noche inmensa, más inmensa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el rocío.

Eso es todo. A lo lejos alguien canta. A lo lejos.
Mi alma no se contenta con haberla perdido.

Tonight I Can Write (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, “The night is starry 
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.”

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

This is all. In the distance, someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

I dedicate this composition to everyone who’s lost their course in life for a moment.
A riptide is a narrow channel in a sandbank where the water rushes strongly out to sea.
And to get out of it you have to do something that feels very unnatural: first let yourself be carried along, and only then swim left or right, back to calmer water and the shore. I think that’s a beautiful image for how we can sometimes deal with life.
