federico garcía lorca
horseman's song
Córdoba,
far off and lonely.
Black mare, large moon,
olives in my saddle-bags;
although I know the roads
I'll never get to Córdoba.
Across the plain, into the wind.
Black mare, red moon.
Death is watching me
from the towers of Córdoba.
This never-ending journey.
This steadfast mare.
And death awaiting me
before I reach Córdoba.
Córdoba,
far off and lonely.
Tr. Michael Smith
A towering figure in twentieth-century Spanish letters, Federico García Lorca (June 5, 1898 - August 19, 1936) was a Spanish poet and dramatist, also remembered as a painter, pianist, and composer. An emblematic member of the Generation of '27, he was killed by Nationalist partisans at the age of 38 at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
And here, thanks to Uyulula, is a Turkish version of the poem set to music . . .
