lyrics

El niño mudo

Por Federico García Lorca

El niño busca su voz.
(La tenía el rey de los grillos).
En una gota de agua
buscaba su voz el niño.

No la quiero para hablar;
me haré con ella un anillo
que llevará mi silencio
en su dedo pequeñito.

(La voz cautiva, a lo lejos,
se ponía un traje de grillo).

--

The Little Mute Boy

Translated by W.S. Merwin

The little boy was looking for his voice.
(The king of the crickets had it.)
In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.

I do not want it for speaking with;
I will make a ring of it
so that he may wear my silence
on his little finger

In a drop of water
the little boy was looking for his voice.

(The captive voice, far away,
put on a cricket’s clothes.)
