by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Translation

La noria
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Tú querías que yo te dijera el secreto de la primavera
¡Ay! No puedo decirte, aunque quisiera, aunque quisiera.
¡Dame vueltas dame vueltas morenita,
Ten cuidado con mis hojitas
¡Dame mas vueltas alrededor!
Jugando jugando a la noria del amor, del amor.
 
Y yo soy para el secreto lo mismo que es el abeto,
Árbol, cuyos mil deditos señalan mil caminitos,
Nunca te diré amor mío, porque corre lento el río,
Pero pondré en mi voz estancada, el cielo ceniza
De tu mirada, de tu mirada...
 
Tú querías que yo te dijera el secreto de la primavera
¡Ay! No puedo decirte, aunque quisiera, aunque quisiera.
