Joyful, joyful, joyful, as only dogs know how to be happy with only the autonomy of their shameless spirit.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Neruda celebrates the kind of happiness only a dog seems to manage, pure and unguarded. There's no embarrassment in it and nothing held back. The joy comes from a spirit that answers only to itself, free and unashamed.
