Translation of the song Bodas de sangre artist Federico García Lorca
Bodas de sangre
Blood Wedding
Cantaban. cantaban los novios
They sang. The newlyweds sang
Y el agua pasaba,
And the water was flowing,
Llegaba la boda,
The wedding was coming,
Que relumbre la escarcha
The shining of frost was going away
Y se llenen de miel
And the time was filling with honey
Las almendras amargas.
The bitter almonds.
Cantaban. cantaban los novios
They sang. The newlyweds sang
Y el agua pasaba,
And the water was flowing,
Llegaba la boda,
The wedding was coming,
Que relumbre la escarcha
The shining of frost was going away
Y se llenen de miel
And the time was filling with honey
Las almendras amargas.
The bitter almonds.
¡Pon un mantel ya
Put a tablecloth now!
Prepara el vino ya !
Prepare the wine now!
Porque el novio es un palomo
Because the groom is a pigeon
Con todo el pecho en brasa
With his whole chest on fire
Y espera el campo
And wait and look on the ground
Al rumbo de la sangre derramada.
To see the course of the spilled blood.
Giraba la rueda...
The wheel was spinning ...
Giraba, giraba
The time was spinning, spinning...
Giraba la rueda
The wheel was spinning...
Y el agua pasaba.
And the water was flowing...
Hay la la la la
La la la la la
