Nana niño nana/ del cabello grande
Nana, niño, nana/ del caballo grande
que no quiso el agua.
El agua era negre
que no quiso el agua.
El agua era negra
dentro de las ramas.
Cuando llega al puente
dentro de las ramas.
Cuando llega al puente
se detiene y canta.
Quien dira, mi nino,
se detiene y canta
Quien dira mi nino
lo que tiene el agua,
con su larga cola
por su verde sala?
Duérmete, clavel,
que el caballo no quiere beber.
Go to sleep, my rose.
The horse begins to cry.
With injured feet
and frozen mane,
a silver dagger
in his eyes.
They went to the river.
Ay! how they went!
The water ran red
with blood.
Now go to sleep
my carnation dear,
the horse refuses to drink
Go to sleep, my rose
The horse begins to cry.
…You refused the water!
Ay dolor de nieve,
caballo del alba!
Stop, stay there!
Close the window
with sticks of dreams
And dreams of sticks.
Mi niño se duerme.
Mi niño se calla.
Caballo, mi niño
tiene una almohada
Su cuna de acero.
Su colcha de holanda.
Nano, niño, nana.
Ay caballo grande
que no quiso el agua!
(stand) No vengas, no entres!
Go off to the mountain.
Por los valles grises
do de está la jaca.
(second time) Mi niño se duerme.
Mi niño descansa.
Duérmate, clavel,
que el caballo no quiere beber.
Duermete, rosal,
que el caballo se pone a llorar.(leave stage)
Leo: I’m going to see him.
Wife: Careful, he’s asleep.
(come out) But who is racing the horse? He’s down there on the ground, with his eyes so wide as if he and come from the end of the world.
Me.
Perdona, the horse is yours.
He was with the men measuring what.
Por mí, que reviente. (sit)
Leo: I don’t know.
I don’t think the groom’s mother was very satisfied with the marriage.
I don’t like that you think poorly of a good girl
But he says that because he knows her. Don’t you remember that she was his girlfriend for three years?
Child: Senora!
Qué pasa?
The groom came to the store and he bought the best of what there was.
Did he come by himself?
Pero que lujo!
They have money.
(child points at her thigh)
Nina!
A rose, with seeds and stem! Ay! Todo en seda!
Se van a juntar dos buenos capitales.
Dejala.
Leonardo, no es para tanto.
Usted dispense
Why do you need to upset other people.
I didn’t ask for your opinion!
Okay.
Tu puedes callar?
Callate! (pause) El niño!
Duermete, clavel,
que el caballo se pone a beber
Duermete, rosal
que el caballo se pone a llorar.
Nana, nino, nana
Ay caballo grande
que no quiso el agua!
No vengas, no entres!
Vete a la montana!
Ay dolor de nieve,
caballo del alba
Mi nino se duerme
Mi nino descansa…
Duermete clavel
que el caballo se pone a beber.
Will they soon come?
No sabemos.
Do tell!
Nada.
I must return to know what happened.
Tu, a tu casa.
Alone and brave, at home.
Que habra pasado?
No imports.
Come back holding baby
Las patas heridas
las crines heladas
dentro de los ojos
un puñal de plata.
Baja an al rio
Ay como bajaban!
La sangre corria
mas fuerte que el agua
