by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Canción inutil
Language: Spanish (Español)
Rosa futura y vena contenida, amatista de ayer y brisa de ahora mismo, ¡quiero olvidarlas! Hombre y pez en sus medios, bajo cosas flotantes, esperando en el alga o en la silla su noche, ¡quiero olvidarlas! Yo. ¡Solo yo! Labrando la bandeja donde no irá mi cabeza. ¡Solo yo!
