un día de sol
Palo de Limón
se enamoro de Rosa Linda
con sus espinas ella le saco el jugo
con sus perfumes lo hipnotizó
después de mucho tiempo
con un poco de azúcar negra prestada
el finalmente la conquisto
una noche de luna
vestido de Toro-Cura
Picasso los caso con pluma, oro y luz
de esta unión
nació Pez-con-Alas-de-Mariposa
tu crees en estas cosas?
son maravillosas...son milagrosas
one sunny day
Lemon Tree
fell in love with Rosa Linda
and her thorns began to squeeze his juices dry
while her perfumes hypnotized him
after some time
with a bit of borrowed brown sugar
he finally won her over
on a moonlit night
dressed as Bull-Priest
Picasso married them with feather, gold and light
from this union
Fish-with-Butterfly-Wings was born
do you believe in such things?
marvelous and miraculous things...
excerpt from a series of writings featuring Pablo Picasso
the stories always come to me through Spanish dreams
