Antonia Mercé Argentina

YOU DANCED AND DANCED

In the light of your green eyes,

Illuminating our universe

With your agile steps,

YOU DANCED AND DANCED

The ardent fire of your short life

And the secret of all our dreams, were

Entirely suffused with your aura.

YOU DANCED AND DANCED

Like a cry, an incandescence

From the magnificent of your body,

You who were just a beating heart…

YOU DANCED AND DANCED

Came all the Iberian dances

Full of ardour and tragedy :

Navarra, Castilla, Andalucia.

YOU DANCED AND DANCED

Galicia, gypsy incantations

At their essential best.

Where are you in the Beyond ?
