The poem by Federico Garcia Lorca tells of children looking out a frosted window at a winter scene. To be sung in Spanish, the beautiful melody, and the free-flowing piano accompaniment combine to make an art song young singers will enjoy.

Los Cristales Turbios
La tarde equivocada
se vistió de frío.
Detrás de los cristales
, turbios, todos los niños,
ven convertirse en pájaros
un árbol amarillo.
La tarde está tendida
a lo largo del río.
Y un rubor de manzana
tiembla en los tejadillos.

The Turbid Crystals
The afternoon unfortunately
is dressed in cold.
Through misty windows
all the children
see a tree
converted to yellow by the birds.
The afternoon is lying
long at the river.
And a blush of apple
trembles on the rooftops.

Federico Garcia Lorca
