Lyrics
First Desire
Music by Marianne Solivan, lyric by Federico Garcia Lorca
In the green morning
I wanted to be a heart.
A heart.
And in the ripe evening
I wanted to be a nightingale.
A nightingale.
Soul, turn orange-colored. Soul, turn the color of love.
In the vivid morning
I wanted to be myself.
A heart.
And at the evening's end
I wanted to be my voice.
A nightingale.
Soul, turn orange-colored. Soul, turn the color of love.
From Selected Verse, Songs, 1921-1924

Cancioncilla del primer beso
En la mañana verde, quería ser corazón.Corazón.
Y en la tarde madura quería ser ruiseñor.Ruiseñor.
(Alma,ponte color de naranja. Alma, ponte color de amor)
En la mañana viva, yo quería ser yo. Corazón.
Y en la tarde caída quería ser mi voz. Ruiseñor.
¡Alma, ponte color naranja!
¡Alma, ponte color de amor!
