The hooves are all red with blood,
and all its horsey hair frozen.
And deep within its eyes
rests a broken silver dagger.
Down they went to the river’s edge.
Ai!, how they went down!
And its blood ran faster
than the running water.

—- from the drama Blood Wedding, translated by ZJC

Las patas heridas,
las crines heladas,
dentro de los ojos
un puñal de plata.
Bajaban al río.
La sangre corría
más fuerte que el agua.
