by Juan Ramón Jiménez Mantecón (1881 - 1958)

Pájaro del agua
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Pájaro del agua
¿qué cantas, qué encantas?

A la tarde nueva
das una nostaljia
de eternidad fresca,
de gloria mojada.
El sol se desnuda
sobre tu cantata.

¡Pájaro del agua!

Desde los rosales
de mi jardín llama
a esas nubes bellas,
cargadas de lágrima.
Quisiera en las rosas
ver gotas de plata.

¡Pájaro del agua!

Mi canto también
es canto de agua.
En mi primavera,
la nube gris baja
hasta los rosales
de mis esperanzas.

¡Pájaro del agua!

Amo el son errante
y azul que desgranas
en las hojas verdes,
en la fuente blanca.
¡No te vayas tú,
corazón con alas!

Pájaro del agua
¿qué encantas, qué cantas?
