Quiero dormir el sue\u00f1o de las manzanas
\n[I want to sleep the sleep of the apples,]<\/p>\n
alejarme del tumulto de los cementerios.
\n[I want to get far away from the busyness of the cemeteries.]<\/p>\n
Quiero dormir el sue\u00f1o de aquel ni\u00f1o
\n[I want to sleep the sleep of that child]<\/p>\n
que quer\u00eda cortarse el coraz\u00f3n en alta mar.
\n[who longed to cut his heart open far out at sea.]<\/p>\n
No quiero que me repitan que los muertos no pierden la sangre;
\n[I don’t want them to tell me again how the corpse keeps all its blood,]<\/p>\n
que la boca podrida sigue pidiendo agua.
\n[how the decaying mouth goes on begging for water.]<\/p>\n
No quiero enterarme de los martirios que da la hierba,
\n[I’d rather not hear about the torture sessions the grass arranges for]<\/p>\n
ni de la luna con boca de serpiente
\n[nor about how the moon does all its work before dawn]<\/p>\n
que trabaja antes del amanecer.
\n[with its snakelike nose.]<\/p>\n
Quiero dormir un rato,
\n[I want to sleep for half a second,]<\/p>\n
un rato, un minuto, un siglo;
\n[a second, a minute, a century,]<\/p>\n
pero que todos sepan que no he muerto;
\n[but I want everyone to know that I am still alive,]<\/p>\n
que haya un establo de oro en mis labios;
\n[that I have a golden manger inside my lips,]<\/p>\n
que soy un peque\u00f1o amigo del viento Oeste;

que soy la sombra inmensa de mis l\u00e1grimas.
\n[that I am the elephantine shadow of my own tears.]<\/p>\n
C\u00fabreme por la aurora con un velo,
\n[When it’s dawn just throw some sort of cloth over me]<\/p>\n
Porque quiero dormir el sue\u00f1o de las manzanas
\n[Because I want to sleep the sleep of the apples,]<\/p>\n
para aprender un llanto que me limpie de tierra;
\n[and learn a mournful song that will clean all earth away from me,]<\/p>\n
porque quiero vivir con aquel ni\u00f1o oscuro
\n[because I want to live with that shadowy child]<\/p>\n
que quer\u00eda cortarse el coraz\u00f3n en alta mar
\n[who longed to cut his heart open far out at sea].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-7934","cita","type-cita","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cita\/7934"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cita"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cita"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
