by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Sobre el cielo
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.

Yo la imagino esta tarde
que soy santo.

Me pusieron la luna
en las manos.
Yo la puse otra vez
en los espacios
y el Señor me premió
con la rosa y el halo.

Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.

Y ahora voy
por este campo
a librar a las niñas
de galanes malos
y dar monedas de oro
a todos los muchachos.

Sobre el cielo
de las margaritas ando.
