With a Lily in Your Hand Lyrics

With a lily in your hand
I leave you, o my night love!
Little widow of my single star
I find you.
Tamer of dark
b***erflies!
I keep along my way.
After a thousand years are gone
you'll see me,
o my night love!
By the blue footpath,
tamer of dark
stars,
I'll make my way.
Until the universe
can fit inside
my heart.
Frederico Garcia Lorca, 1898-1936
(Translated by Jerome Rothenberg)
