Tres cuidades

Song Cycle by Julián Bautista (1901 - 1961)

1. Malagueña  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
La muerte
entra y sale 
de la taberna. 
Pasan caballos negros
y gente siniestra 
por los hondos caminos
de la guitarra. 
Y hay un olor a sal
y a sangre [de hembra]1,
en los nardos febriles
de la marina.
La muerte 
entra y sale
y sale y entra
la muerte
de la taberna.

2. Barrio de Córdoba : Tópico nocturno  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
En la casa se defienden
de las estrellas.
La noche se derrumba.
Dentro hay una niña muerta
con una rosa encarnada
oculta en la cabellera.
Seis ruiseñores la lloran
en la reja.

Las gentes van suspirando
con las guitarras abiertas.

3. Baile  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
La Carmen está bailando
por las calles de Sevilla.
Tiene blancos los cabellos
y brillantes las pupilas.

¡Niñas, corred las cortinas!

En su cabeza se enrosca
una serpiente amarilla,
y va soñando en el baile
con galanes de otros días.

¡Niñas, corred las cortinas!

Las calles están desiertas
y en los fondos se adivinan,
corazones andaluces
buscando viejas espinas.

¡Niñas, corred las cortinas!
