by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)

Dos bueyes rojos
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Dos bueyes rojos
en el campo de oro.

Los bueyes tienen ritmo
de campanas antiguas
y ojos de pájaro.
Son para las mañanas
de niebla, y sin embargo
horadan la naranja
del aire, en el verano.
Viejos desde que nacen
no tienen amo
y recuerdan las alas
de sus costados.
Los bueyes
siempre van suspirando
por los campos de Ruth
en busca del vado,
del eterno vado,
borrachos de luceros
a rumiarse sus llantos.

Dos bueyes rojos
en el campo de oro.
