Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
SON OF BlACKS IN CUBA

When it's full moon

I will go to Santiago de Cuba,

In a car of balck water.

I will go to Santiago.

Palm roofs will sing.

I will go to Santiago.

When Palmtree wants to be a stork,

I will go to Santiago.

And when the banana wants to be jellyfish

I will go to Santiago.

With Fonseca's blond head.

I will go to Santiago.

And with the pink of Romeo and Juliet

I will go to Santiago.

Sea of paper and silver of coins

I will go to Santiago.

¡Oh Cuba! Oh Cuba!

Oh pace of dry seeds!

I will go to Santiago.

Oh hot waist and wooden drop!

I will go to Santiago.

Harp of alive logs, alligator, tobacco flower!

I will go to Santiago.

I always said that I would go to Santiago

in a black water car.

I will go to Santiago.

Breeze and alcohol on the wheels,

I will go to Santiago.

My reefs in the darkness,

I will go to Santiago.

The sea drowned in the sand,

I will go to Santiago,

White heat, dead fruit

I will go to Santiago.

Oh cattle cool of cañavera!

¡Oh Cuba! Oh Cuba!

Oh curve of sigh and mud!

I will go to Santiago.
