"GREEN, HOW I WANT YOU GREEN", from the poem by Federico García Lorca, "Romance Sonambulo " ("Ballad of the Sleepwalker")
"Green, how I want you green.
Green wind. Green branches.
The ship out on the sea
and the horse on the mountain.
With the shadow at the waist
she dreams on her balcony,
green flesh, green hair,
with eyes of cold silver.
Green, how I want you green.
Under the gypsy moon,
all things are watching her
and she cannot see them."
"VERDE QUE TE QUERO VERDE" do poema de Federico García Lorca, "Romance Sonâmbulo."
"Verde que te quero verde.
Verde vento. Verdes ramas.
O barco vai sobre o mar
e o cavalo na montanha.
Com a sombra pela cintura
ela sonha na varanda,
verde carne, tranças verdes,
com olhos de fria prata.
Verde que te quero verde.
Por sob a lua gitana,
as coisas estão mirando-a
e ela não pode mirá-las."
Nice plants, do you know that Green is the most soothing color for our eyes!
