Romance De La Luna
La luna vino a la fragua
Con su polisуn de nardos.
El niсo la mira mira.
El niсo la estб mirando.
En el aire conmovido
Mueve la luna sus brazos
Y enseсa, lъbrica y pura,
Sus senos de duro estaсo.
Huye luna, luna, luna.
Si vinieran los gitanos,
Harнan con tu corazуn
Collares y anillos blancos.
Niсo, dйjame que baile.
Cuando vengan los gitanos,
Te encontrarбn sobre el yunque
Con los ojillos cerrados.
Huye luna, luna, luna,
Que ya siento sus caballos.
Nнno, dйjame, no pises
Mi blancor almidonado.
El jinete se acercaba
Tocando el tambor del llano
Dentro de la fragua el niсo,
Tiene los ojos cerrados.
Por el olivar venнan,
Bronce y sueсo, los gitanos.
Las cabezas levantadas
Y los ojos entornados.
ЎCуmo canta la zumaya,
Ay cуmo canta en el бrbol!
Por el cielo va la luna
Con un niсo de la mano.
Dentro de la fragua lloran,
Dando gritos, los gitanos.
El aire la vela, vela.
El aire la estб velando.
