1. Canción del jinete
Language: Spanish (Español)
Córdoba. Lejana y sola. Jaca negra, luna grande, y aceitunas en mi alforja. Aunque sepa los caminos yo nunca llegaré a Córdoba. Por el llano, por el viento, jaca negra, luna roja. La muerte me está mirando desde las torres de Córdoba. ¡Ay qué camino tan largo! ¡Ay mi jaca valerosa! ¡Ay, que la muerte me espera, antes de llegar a Córdoba! Córdoba. Lejana y sola.

1. Reiterlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Córdoba. So fern noch und allein. Groß der Mond und schwarz die Mähre, Oliven sind mein Proviant. Auch wenn ich längst die Pfade kenne, bis Córdoba schaff' ich es nie. Durch die Weiten, gegen Winde, roter Mond und schwarze Mähre. Der Tod ist’s, der mir starrt entgegen hoch von den Türmen Córdobas. Ach, wie weit noch ist mein Weg! Ach, meine tapf’re Mähre! Ach, ’s ist der Tod, der mich erwartet, eh ich es schaff’ bis Córdoba! Córdoba. So fern noch und allein.

2. El grito
Language: Spanish (Español)
La elipse de un grito, va de monte a monte. Desde los olivos, será un arco iris negro sobre la noche azul. ¡Ay! Como un arco de viola, el grito ha hecho vibrar largas cuerdas del viento. ¡Ay! (Las gentes de las cuevas asoman sus velones.) ¡Ay!

2. Der Schrei
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein Schrei zieht in in ovalem Bogen von Berg zu Berg. Er steigt empor aus den Oliven und wird zum schwarzen Regenbogen über azurner Nacht. Ach! Wie der Bratschenbogen lässt der Schrei des Windes lange Saiten klingen. Ach! (Aus den Höhlen halten Leute Öllampen heraus) Ach!

3. La luna asoma
Language: Spanish (Español)
Cuando sale la luna se pierden las campanas y aparecen las sendas impenetrables. Cuando sale la luna, el mar cubre la tierra y el corazón se siente isla en el infinito. Nadie come naranjas bajo la luna llena. Es preciso comer fruta verde y helada. Cuando sale la luna de cién rostros iguales, la moneda de plata solloza en el bolsillo.

3. Der Mond kommt hervor
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wenn der Mond erscheint am Himmel, verklingt der Glocken Ton und die Pfade zeigen undurchdringlich sich. Wenn der Mond erscheint am Himmel, deckt die See das Festland zu, und als Insel im Unendlichen fühlt sich dann das Herz. Niemand isst Orangen unter des Vollmonds Schein. Schön ist es, grünes Obst gekühlt zu essen. Wenn der Mond erscheint am Himmel hundertmal gleichen Gesichts, weint bitterlich das Silbergeld im Beutel.

4. Malagueña
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, en los nardos febriles de la marina. La muerte entra y sale y sale y entra la muerte de la taberna.

4. Malagueña
Language: German (Deutsch)
Der Tod geht ein und aus in der Taverne. Vorbei ziehn Rappen, finstres Volk aus Tiefen der Gitarre. Es riecht nach Salz und Blut der Frau aus fiebrigen Agaven am Meeresstrand. Der Tod geht ein und aus, und aus und ein geht er in der Taverne.
