Text by Federico García Lorca


Leave Me Here Crying (Ah!) 

The scream leaves on the wind
Its shadow of cypress.

Leave me here in these fields,
Leave me here crying.

All has broken in the world,
Nothing remains but silence.

Leave me here in these fields,
Leave me here crying.

Bitten by bonfires,
Lightless horizons,

Leave me, I tell you,
In these fields here crying.

Leave Me Here Crying

Sung by Fernando Ruiz with pianist Oliver Moore
2022

wanting

there are days when I want
nothing more than to be
a simple beloved thing
small and quiet
an easy creature
that sits and wants and waits for joy
and welcomes it when it comes
bare-chested like the sunrise
