by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

En lo alto de aquel monte
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En lo alto de aquel monte
un arbolito verde.

Pastor que vas,
pastor que vienes.

Olivares soñolientos
bajan al llano caliente.

Pastor que vas,
pastor que vienes.

Ni ovejas blancas ni perro
ni cayado ni amor tienes.

Pastor que vas.

Como una sombra de oro,
en el trigal te disuelves.

Pastor que vienes.
