Federico García Lorca
The guitar
(La Guitarra)
Spanish literature, poetry
full text, translation into English
The weeping of the guitar
begins.
The goblets of dawn
are smashed.
The weeping of the guitar
begins.
Useless to silence it.
Impossible to silence it.
It weeps monotonously
as water weeps,
as the wind weeps
over snowfields.
Impossible to silence it.
It weeps for distant things.
Hot southern sands
yearning for white camellias.
Weeps arrow without target
evening without morning,
and the first dead bird
on the branch.
Oh, guitar!
Heart mortally wounded
by five swords.
