Five Songs

Song Cycle by Elisenda Fábregas (b. 1955)

3. La luna negra  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
En la luna negra
de los bandoleros,
cantan las espuelas. 

Caballito negro.
¿Dónde llevas tu jinete muerto? 

...Las duras espuelas
del bandido inmóvil
que perdió las riendas. 

Caballito frío.
¡Qué perfume de flor de cuchillo! 

En la luna negra
sangraba el costado
de Sierra Morena. 

Caballito negro.
¿Dónde llevas tu jinete muerto? 

La noche espolea
sus negros ijares
clavándose estrellas. 

Caballito frió.
¡Qué perfume de flor de cuchillo! 

En la luna negra,
¡un grito! y el cuerno
largo de la hoguera. 

Caballito negro.
¿Dónde llevas tu jinete muerto?
