by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Noche del amor insomne
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Noche arriba los dos con luna llena,
yo me puse a llorar y tú reías.
Tu desdén era un dios, las quejas mías
momentos y palomas en cadena.
Noche abajo los dos. Cristal de pena,
llorabas tú por hondas lejanías.
Mi dolor era un grupo de’agonías
sobre tu débil corazón de’arena.
La’aurora nos unió sobre la cama,
las bocas puestas sobre el chorro’helado
de una sangre sin fi n que se derrama.
Y’el sol entró por el balcón cerrado
y’el coral de la vida abrió su rama
sobre mi corazón amortajado.
