Las nubes

Song Cycle by Carlos Guastavino (1912 - 2000)

1. Jardín antiguo
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ir de nuevo al jardín cerrado,
que tras los arcos de la tapia,
entre magnolios, limoneros
guarda el encanto de las aguas.
Oír de nuevo en el silencio
vivo de trinos y de hojas,
el susurro tibio del aire
donde las almas viejas flotan.
Ver otra vez el cielo hondo
a lo lejos, la torre esbelta
tal flor de luz sobre las palmas:
las cosas todas siempre bellas.
Sentir otra vez, como entonces,
la espina aguda del deseo,
mientras la juventud pasada
vuelve. Sueño de un dios sin tiempo.
