by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
¡Ay!
Language: Spanish (Español)
El grito deja en el viento una sombra de ciprés. (Dejadme en este campo, llorando.) Todo se ha roto en el mundo. No queda más que el silencio. (Dejadme en este campo, llorando.) El horizonte sin luz está mordido de hogueras. (Ya os he dicho que me dejéis en este campo, llorando.)
