by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Barrio de Córdoba : Tópico nocturno
Language: Spanish (Español)
En la casa se defienden de las estrellas. La noche se derrumba. Dentro hay una niña muerta con una rosa encarnada oculta en la cabellera. Seis ruiseñores la lloran en la reja. Las gentes van suspirando con las guitarras abiertas.
