IN THE RIVER OF SEVILLE
ON SEVILLE'S RIVER
My girl, she's walking toward the sea
waves and shells she's counting
but she only meets herself
there in the river of Seville
Between the oleander bushes she is looking
five boats, an open sea
an oar that's paddled to the water
a sail that's spread out to the wind
Who is the one looking from above
from the roof of the tower of Seville
five voices answer her
five silver rings
The upper arm of the sky is spread out
over the calm river
in the clean, pink air
five rings shall hover
