about

A setting of a text by Federico García Lorca for soprano & guitar

lyrics

Santiago - Federico García Lorca

It's raining in Santiago
sweet love of mine.
White camellia of the air,
obscurely shines the sun.

It's raining in Santiago
on this dark night
Grasses of silver and dream
cover the empty moon.

See the rain on the streets
An outcry of glass and stone.
See in the vanishing winds,
the shadow and ash of your sea.

Santiago, so far away the Sun.
Water of an ancient morning
trembles deep within in my heart.


--------


Chove en Santiago
meu doce amor.
Camelia branca do ar
brila entebrecida ô sol.

Chove en Santiago
na noite escura.
Herbas de prata e de sono
cobren a valeira lúa.

Olla a choiva pola 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.
Ãgoa da mañán anterga
trema no meu corazón.
