by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
La muerte/ entra y sale
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.
G. Crumb sets lines 1-3 in (at least) one setting - see below for more information
