Los niños miran
un punto lejano. 

Los candiles se apagan.
Unas muchachas ciegas
preguntan a la luna,
y por el aire ascienden
espirales de llanto. 

Las montañas miran
un punto lejano

After the Passing
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
The children gaze
at a point far, far away.

The oil lamps are extinguished.
Some blind girls
question the moon,
and through the air rise
spirals of tears.

The mountains gaze
at a point far, far away.

From the Cavallaro score.
