Song Cycle by Irma Urteaga (b. 1929)

1. Cuadrados y Ángulos
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Casas enfiladas, casas enfiladas,
Casas enfiladas.
Cuadrados, cuadrados, cuadrados.
Casas enfiladas.
Las gentes ya tienen el alma cuadrada,
Ideas en fila
Y ángulo en la espalda.
Yo misma he vertido ayer una lágrima,
Dios mío, cuadrada.

2. Hombre
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Hombre, yo quiero que mi mal comprendas,
Hombre, yo quiero que me des dulzura,
Hombre, yo marcho por tus mismas sendas;
Hijo de madre: entiende mi locura...

3. La Garra Blanca
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
En esta esplendidez del cielo limpio
Hundo los ojos y al hundirlos lloro.
Cubren el cielo lágrimas de oro,
El cielo limpio.

Ah, me parece que una garra blanca
Ha de bajar de pronto a arrebatarme
Y por el cielo en curva ha de llevarme,
La garra blanca.
