Cantaban los niños Lyrics by Joaquín Rodrigo

Con Antonio Machado

0

Yo escucho los cantos de viejas cadencias
Que cantan los niños cuando en corro juegan
Y vierten en coro sus almas, que sueñan
Cual vierten sus aguas las fuentes de piedra:
Con monotonías de risas eternas
Que no son alegres, con lágrimas viejas
Que no son amargas y dicen tristezas
Tristezas de amores de antiguas leyendas
En los labios niños, las canciones llevan
Confusa la historia y clara la pena;
Como clara el agua lleva su conseja
De viejos amores, que nunca se cuentan
Jugando, a la sombra de una plaza vieja
Los niños cantaban... La fuente de piedra
Vertía su eterno cristal de leyenda
Cantaban los niños canciones ingenuas
De un algo que pasa y que nunca llega:
La historia confusa y clara la pena
Seguía su cuento la fuente serena
Borrada la historia, contaba la pena
