The beast Alhambra roared a violent psalm Vile conversos horrid moriscos, the heretic herds A spear thrust into our sun’s martyred ribs Held in hateful grips the yellow warblers dripped in crimson sheen Flying like Michael the vengeful vassal of Aragon’s decree “O Torquemada Hark the righteous call King of Suprema Execute them all!” Cold unfeeling wretch, the flesh guillotine Teeth clicking sparks lit endless pyres Three made Seville weep at the sight of...

Aunque el deber te dicte hoy otro camino. Y al estar solo busques el refugió de un nuevo nido. Prometeme qué aún volverás, tesoro mío. Confirma tu regreso con ese apasionado beso.
