Image inspired by the poem “Poema de la seguiriya gitana. La Guitarra” by Federico García Lorca, in the style of Manuel Ángeles Ortiz. The scene features a lone guitar, central to the composition, evoking a sense of melancholy and longing. The background is abstract, with soft, swirling colors that reflect the deep emotional tones of the poem. Elements of Andalusian culture, such as flamenco dancers or traditional Spanish motifs, are subtly incorporated into the design. The overall atmosphere is somber but rich, with a focus on the guitar as a symbol of pain and passion.
Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Se rompen las copas
de la madrugada.
Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Es inútil callarla.
Es imposible
callarla.
Llora monótona
como llora el agua,
como llora el viento
sobre la nevada.
Es imposible
callarla.
Llora por cosas
lejanas.
Arena del Sur caliente
que pide camelias blancas.
Llora flecha sin blanco,
la tarde sin mañana,
y el primer pájaro muerto
sobre la rama.
¡Oh, guitarra!
Corazón malherido
por cinco espadas.
Translation to English: Gypsy seguiriya poem. Guitar
The crying begins
of the guitar.
The glasses are broken
in the early morning.
The crying begins
of the guitar.
It is useless to silence her.
It’s impossible
shut her up.
Monotonous cries
like water cries,
like the wind cries
about the snowfall.
It’s impossible
shut her up.
Cry about things
distant.
Hot Southern Sand
who asks for white camellias.
Cry arrow without target,
the afternoon without tomorrow,
and the first dead bird
on the branch.
Oh, guitar!
Badly wounded heart
for five swords.
