Childish faces with
ancient eyes
Laughing as their bodies
dance in the sunlight
Infants, stealing hearts
and consuming them like candy
Behold them all, las
gitanitas de Sacromonte.
Sway to the music your
grandfathers sang
While rocking their gypsy
children.
Crooning in the shadows of
their cave homes
Such wild children, las
gitanitas de Sacromonte.
Laugh and play for me
small roguish ones.
Let me swirl and dance
with you.
Take my soul, but keep it
safe.
Small laughing girls, las
gitanitas de Sacromonte.
I see your smiling face and hear your laughing voice when I read this.
