Rubén Darío - Earthquake lyrics
[Rubén Darío - Earthquake lyrics]
Dawn it was here in the
Great still villa that I
Heard as a child so many fables and stories
Or serenades by the window
Bars in the breeze
Courting some girl who was dazzling, simple
And shy
The constellations revolve in
The brilliant sky
And a few soft crimson lights
Argue in the East all at once
An earthquake brings people to their knees
They pray half naked in
Courtyards and streets, and cry:
"Dear God! Immortal Saints! Save
Us from being damned!"
Houses crumble the earthquake shakes
Again and again
The apocalypse pours from an invisible hand
There's not the slightest breath of
Wind in this leaden
Air, and one could say death
Passed over this land
Under the indifferent gaze of our heaven
Great still villa that I
Heard as a child so many fables and stories
Or serenades by the window
Bars in the breeze
Courting some girl who was dazzling, simple
And shy
The constellations revolve in
The brilliant sky
And a few soft crimson lights
Argue in the East all at once
An earthquake brings people to their knees
They pray half naked in
Courtyards and streets, and cry:
"Dear God! Immortal Saints! Save
Us from being damned!"
Houses crumble the earthquake shakes
Again and again
The apocalypse pours from an invisible hand
There's not the slightest breath of
Wind in this leaden
Air, and one could say death
Passed over this land
Under the indifferent gaze of our heaven
