by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Verlaine
Language: Spanish (Español)
La canción, que nunca diré, se ha dormido en mis labios. La canción, que nunca diré. Sobre las madreselvas había una luciérnaga, y la luna picaba con un rayo en el agua. Entonces yo soñé, la canción, que nunca diré. Canción llena de labios y de cauces lejanos. Canción llena de horas perdidas en la sombra. Canción de estrella viva sobre un perpetuo día.
