The lyrics came to me in two parts: My father Celedonio wrote a short poem for my mother, Angelita, which I used for the final closing section of the piece. But when I created the central duet (a call-and-response between guitar and the singer), I was moved to write my own poem to honor the memory of both of them." – Pepe Romero The Lyrics to the “Lento” middle section, by Pepe Romero: Ay, Porque no pueo Ay, Porque mirarte no pueo Ay, Te llamo con un suspiro. Ay, Mientras tu guitarra suene Mientras tu guitarra suene Tu seguirás siempre vivo. Ay, Te llamo con un suspiro. Ay! The Lyrics to the final section, (original poem by Celedonio Romero): Los pinos no cantarán, Ay, canciones de primavera. Los pinos no cantarán. Ay, las flores no se abriran, El día que tu te mueras. Los pinos no cantarán... Ay! English translation: Ay, Because I cannot... Ay, Because I cannot see you, Ay, I call you with a sigh. Ay, While your guitar rings out... While your guitar rings out, you will forever be alive. Ay, I call you with a sigh. Ay! The pines will not sing, Ay, their spring songs. The pines will not sing, Ay, and the flowers will not bloom... the day that you die. The pines will not sing... Ay!
