Cuando Carmen
Cuando Carmen quedo quieta, a las claritas del alba
Y se hizomarmol su cuerpo, moreno de pura raza.
Barcelona,
Barcelona dando gritos, mando doblar sus campanas
Y se quedo sin aliento el Compás de la sardana.
Y en aquel momento mismo…se apago el son de la zambra!
Carmen gitana nacida de un sarmiento y de un coral.
Carmen era tu bata extendida, la cola de un pavo real.
Cuando pasaste la raya y tu llama se apago
Ya no canto la zumaya, ni la guitarra tembló,
Carmen, carmen, carmen…carmen!
Se murió Carmen Amaya, y España entera lloro.
En Sevilla,
En Sevilla los espejos, con su cristal de agua verde,
En los tablaos comentaban:
Por que esa Carmen no vuelve?
La malena, La Malena hablaba sola
La Nina rompió sus peines
Y Juana la macarrona encendió un velón de aceite.
La Giralda esta sin brazos y la Alhambra, sin cipreses.
Carmen! Gitana moruna de alfajores y de hollín.
Carmen! Era tu bata, una luna de nardo de Albaicin.
Cuando pasaste la raya y tu llama se apago
Ya no canto la Zumaya, ni la guitarra tembló.
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen… Carmen!
Se murió Carmen Amaya, y España entera lloro.
Del somorrostro a la playa, ya su estrella se apago
Se derrumbo su muralla, como la de Jericó…
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen…Carmen!
Se murió Carmen Amaya, y el mundo entero lloro.
