I won't crosspost this here, since the lyrics are in English...it's Leonard Cohen's very loose translation of a poem by Federico Garcia Lorca.    http://www.cindysbeentrippin.com/index.php?topic=5341.msg83732#msg83732

Pequeño Vals Vienés

En Viena hay diez muchachas,
un hombro donde solloza la muerte
y un bosque de palomas disecadas.
Hay un fragmento de la mañana
en el museo de la escarcha.
Hay un salón con mil ventanas.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals con la boca cerrada.

Este vals, este vals, este vals, este vals,
de sí, de muerte y de coñac
que moja su cola en el mar.

Te quiero, te quiero, te quiero,
con la butaca y el libro muerto,
por el melancólico pasillo,
en el oscuro desván del lirio,
en nuestra cama de la luna
y en la danza que sueña la tortuga.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals de quebrada cintura.

En Viena hay cuatro espejos
donde juegan tu boca y los ecos.
Hay una muerte para piano
que pinta de azul a los muchachos.
Hay mendigos por los tejados,
hay frescas guirnaldas de llanto.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals que se muere en mis brazos.

Porque te quiero, te quiero, amor mío,
en el desván donde juegan los niños,
soñando viejas luces de Hungría
por los rumores de la tarde tibia,
viendo ovejas y lirios de nieve
por el silencio oscuro de tu frente.

¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals, este vals del "Te quiero siempre".

En Viena bailaré contigo
con un disfraz que tenga
cabeza de río.
¡Mira qué orillas tengo de jacintos!
Dejaré mi boca entre tus piernas,
mi alma en fotografías y azucenas,
y en las ondas oscuras de tu andar
quiero, amor mío, amor mío, dejar,
violín y sepulcro, las cintas del vals.

In high school, I studied Latin for three years.  It was a happy thing…I have an ear and an aptitude for languages.  The choice of Latin was not mine, but my father’s.  I would have chosen German, probably.  I had never heard anyone speak a paragraph in any language other than English.
 
In college, I did choose German.  It was less fun than Latin, and I never mastered the diphthongs or the gutturals.  Still, it’s an admirable mental language; excellent for technical matters, scarily logical, but even its greatest poetry is a little cold.  There is some good literature:  Remarque and Boll and Heine are my favorites.  Still…
 
And as a college freshman, learning guitar and folksong, I put Joan Baez on my turntable and heard her sing El Preso Numero Nueve…and I was overcome by the art and power of the Spanish poem (and of course, completely mad for her.)  The song itself she first heard in Trinidad, and its origins are obscure although musicologists characterize its style as “son huasteco.”  Its power and art, though, are not just in the subject…they are as much in the language itself.  If the Germans had words like “amanecer” or “juzgara” or “aguantar” in their vocabulary, they would be a different kind of people.
 

   1. El preso número nueve, ya lo van a confesar.
      Está rezando en la celda con el cura del penal,
      Porque ante este amanecer, la vida le han de quitar,
      Porque mató a su mujer y un amigo desleal.
      Dice asi, al confesar, "Los maté, si señor,
      Y si vuelvo a nacer, yo los vuelvo a matar.
      Padre no me arrepiento, ni me da miedo la eternidad.
      Yo sé que allá en el cielo el Ser Supremo nos juzgará,
      Voy a seguir sus pasos, voy a buscarlos al más allá."
      Ah ya ya ya! [Ya!]

      2. El preso número nueve era un hombre muy cabal.
      Iba la noche del duelo, muy contento en su jacal,
      Pero al mirar a su amor, en brazos de su rival,
      Ardió en pecho el rencor y no se pudo aguantar.
      Al sonar el clarin, se formó el pelotón;
      Y rumbo al paredón, se oye al preso decir:
      "Padre no me arrepiento, ni me da miedo la eternidad.
      Yo sé que allá en el cielo el Ser Supremo nos juzgará,
      Voy a seguir sus pasos, voy a buscarlos al más allá."
      Ah ya ya ya! Ya!

 
In one hour, I understood there was more to language than its mentality, but I was frightened by the passion of this Spanish, and it would be years before I reconsidered my opinion.  I have learned a little Spanish since then, by immersion in the Dominican and Costa Rican cultures...but alas, I never dug deeply enough to become fluent or practiced.  Life is so short.

Interestingly enough Spanish is a fairly easy language to learn.  However, it is profound in its passion and in its sentiment.

I can see how that song would capture you...thanks for sharing.
