La muerte/ entra y sale
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
La muerte
entra y sale 
de la taberna. 
Pasan caballos negros
y gente siniestra 
por los hondos caminos
de la guitarra. 
Y hay un olor a sal
y a sangre [de hembra]1,
en los nardos febriles
de la marina.
La muerte 
entra y sale
y sale y entra
la muerte
de la taberna.

G. Crumb sets lines 1-3 in (at least) one setting - see below for more information

Malagueña
Language: French (Français)  after the Spanish (Español) 
La mort
entre et sort
de la taverne.
Il passe des chevaux noirs
et des gens sinistres
par les chemins profonds
de la guitare.
Et il y a une odeur de sel
et de sang de femme,
dans les tubéreuses fébriles
de la plage.
La mort
entre et sort,
et elle sort et entre
la mort
de la taverne.
