Una primavera andaluza

Song Cycle by Lorenzo Palomo (b. 1938)

5. Alborada
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Doraba la luna el río
­¡fresco de la madrugada! ­
Por el mar venían olas
teñidas de luz de alba.

El campo débil y triste
se iba alumbrando. Quedaba
el canto roto de un grillo,
la queja oscura de un agua.

Huía el viento a su gruta,
el horror a su cabaña;
en el verde de los pinos
se iban abriendo las alas.

Las estrellas se morían,
se rosaba la montaña;
allá en el pozo del huerto
la golondrina cantaba.
