  1. With A Lilly In Your Hand
Share

Music by Eric Whitacre
Text by Federico Garcia Lorca

Choral Chameleon Chorus
Vince Peterson, Conductor

Released: April, 2020

Lyrics

Con un lirio en la mano
te dejo.
¡Amor de mi noche!
Y viudita de mi astro
te encuentro.
¡Domador de sombrías
mariposas!
Sigo por mi camino.
Al cabo de mil años
me verás.
¡Amor de mi noche!
Por la vereda azul,
domador de sombrías
estrellas
seguiré mi camino.
Hasta que el Universo
quepa en mi corazón.

— Federico García Lorca (1898-1936)

Translated:

With a lily in your hand
I leave you, o my night love!
Little widow of my single star
I find you.
Tamer of dark butterflies!
I keep along my way.
After a thousand years have gone
you’ll see me, o, my night love!
By the blue footpath,
tamer of dark stars,
I’ll make my way.
Until the universe can fit inside my heart.
