A rafael de león


(A la memoria de Rafael de León,
de la copla andaluza, que en gloria esté.)

Como carne de membrillo tiembla al aire una canción
leo con el corazón una fecha en el anillo:
Siempre novio. Andalucía.
Tiembla la voz que no es mía es Rafael de León.
Y el aire que lento sopla decoro de la plazuela
me va trayendo esta copla que sabe a menta y canela.
Derrama plata y canela el faro
de los veleros a los rubios marineros.
Serrano ¿me das candela? va preguntando La Lirio.
La respuesta es un martirio de acordeones morenos.
La noche de la Bahía que plata pone en las velas
esta copia me traía dulce como la mistela.
Estribillo
De tu landó de marqués sale una voz con corona
y es el pueblo, Rafael, en la radio de cretona.
Dalia de Sevilla chistera y pastillas.
¡Ay! pulsos que sangran rosa de La Alhambra.
Clavel en la boca para malvaloca
se muere de celos la cal de mis huesos.
Moneda de oro caballito moro
capote de grana anís de Parrala.
¡Ay! fuente de amor dímelo por Dios.
Se viste de negro la cal de mis huesos.
¡Ay! voz ronca de aguardiente
que mancha los mostradores
que seca los surtidores que detiene la corriente.
Como Rosa del Genil ninguna tarde de Abril
la niña vuelve a la fuente.
La Bizcocha sabe el nombre era Lirio aquel tesoro
por el que ha pagao un hombre
cincuenta monedas de oro.
¡Ay! quicio de mancebía.
¡Ay! duda del no y del sí.
¡Ay! menta y ajonjolí
que a los hombres sonreía.
Blanca cal, verde persiana
asomada a la ventana una reina parecía.
Tu recuerdo es una faca
que hiere y que me ahoga
lo repite en una placa esta copla de Quiroga.
Estribillo
