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.
