Lorca Vit.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker

Lorca Vit.(Translation) .

Lorca demeure dans la cite New York
Il n'est jamais retourne en Espagne
Il alla a Cuba un temps
Mais il est encore en ville

Il est fatigue des gitans
Et il est fatigue de la mer
Il hait jouer sa guitare ancienne
Elle n'a qu'un ton

Il entendit qu'il fut fusille et tue
Il ne le fut jamais, tu sais
Il habite a la Cite New York
Il ne l'aime pas quand meme
