by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Madrigal á cibdá de Santiago
Language: Galician
Chove en Santiago meu doce amor. Camelia branca do ár brila entebrecida ao sol. Chove en Santiago na noite escura. Herbas de prata e de sono cobren a valeira lúa. Olla a choiva pol-a rúa, laio de pedra e cristal. Olla no vento esvaído soma e cinza do teu mar. Soma e cinza do teu mar Santiago, lonxe do sol; ágoa da mañán anterga trema no meu corazón.
