ADELINA WALKING BY
The sea has no oranges,
Sevilla has no love.
Dark-haired girl, what fiery light.
Lend me your parasol.
It will give me green cheeks
—juice of lime and lemon—
Your words —little fishes—
will swim all around us.
The sea has no oranges.
Ay, love.
Sevilla has no love!

Federico García Lorca, 1923
