Mazatlán (english translation)
For Josefina Salazar, adorable coastal girl.
The palms complain And the sea rises and falls…. And up there from the immense beach, the lights, the towers.
The temples, the squares, The old gardens And the pile of houses… Many black eyes… Many pretty faces… Women who pretend To be transported From the park of dreams Where the Alhambra blooms Which Boabdil once Wet with his tears… And everywhere Sweet serenades.
The pianos sob Inside the rooms On their mandolins The girls play.
The seafront dwellers Strum their guitars; On the beach at a party The beach girls sing And the troubadours In the late hours Music tenderness In front of the windows…
My God!.... what is this? Why so much advertising? The plants complain… The sea rises and falls… It is the soul that haunts Angela Peralta!
