Light and dark, the river sings!

How are you playing so much?

And the leaves with dew

They are green eyes crying!

 

What heavenly music

are heard in these parts;

whispers of banana trees

and wild pigeons!

 

Among the Gallic mountains

each thing is a lyre:

the dove that sighs

It's a madrigal with wings!

¡Claroscuro, canta y el rio! (tenor and piano)
