Muerte de la petenera
Language: Spanish (Español)
En la casa blanca muere
la perdición de los hombres.
Cien jacas caracolean.
Sus jinetes están muertos.
Bajo las estremecidas
estrellas de los velones,
su falda de moaré tiembla
entre sus muslos de cobre.
Cien jacas caracolean.
Sus jinetes están muertos.
Largas sombras afiladas
vienen del turbio horizonte,
y el bordón de una guitarra
se rompe.
Cien jacas caracolean.
Sus jinetes están muertos.

Mort de la petenera
Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)
Dans la maison blanche meurt
la perdition des hommes.
Cent juments caracolent
Leurs cavaliers sont morts.
Et sous les tremblantes
étoiles des bougies,
sa jupe moirée tremble
entre ses cuisses de cuivre.
Cent juments caracolent.
Leurs cavaliers sont morts.
De longues ombres effilées
viennent du trouble horizon
et le bourdon d'une guitare
se rompt.
Cent juments caracolent.
Leurs cavaliers sont morts.
