For Federico, who wrote, and for Paco, who sang, and for Maria Clara, who likes them both.

El lagarto está llorando.
La lagarta está llorando.
El lagarto y la lagarta
con delantaritos blancos.
Han perdido sin querer
su anillo de desposados.
¡Ay, su anillito de plomo,
ay, su anillito plomado!
Un cielo grande y sin gente
monta en su globo a los pájaros.
El sol, capitán redondo,
lleva un chaleco de raso.
¡Miradlos qué viejos son!
¡Qué viejos son los lagartos!
¡Ay cómo lloran y lloran.
¡ay! ¡ay!, cómo están llorando!
Federico García Lorca. Canciones para niños

Mr. Lizard is crying.
Mrs. Lizard is crying.
Mr. and Mrs. Lizard
with little white aprons.
They have inadvertently lost
their wedding ring.
Oh, their little ring of lead,
oh, their little leaden ring!
A large sky without people
carries the birds up in its balloon.
The sun, round captain,
wears a satin waistcoat.
See how old they are!
How old the lizards are!
Oh, how they cry and cry,
oh, oh, how they are crying!
(Slapdash translation by yours truly)

I love his more playful poetry, his Songs for Children, etc. And I love what Paco Ibañez did with some of them.
