Madrigal al Cibda de Santiago

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 pol-a 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.
Agoa de mañán anterga
trema no meu corazón.
  (Federico García Lorca)

Love song to the City of Santiago

It rains in Santiago
Darling
A white camelia in the air
overshadows the sun.

It rains in Santiago
In the dark night
Silver grasses of sleep
Cover a dancing moon.

Hear the rain in the street
Lament of stone and crystal
Hear in the vanishing wind
The shadow and ash of your sea.

The shadow and ash of your sea [Fisterra]
Santiago, far from the sun
Water of ancient morning
Makes my heart tremble.

The Church of Barbadelo (pp 31 & 107)
