Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías

Escrito por Federico García Lorca

Narrado por Rafael Baena Zapatero

Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías es el emocionado homenaje, en cuatro elegías, que dedica Federico García Lorca a su amigo, el torero Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, fallecido como consecuencia de una cogida en 1934. Se trata de una obra unitaria que relata los sentimientos y pensamientos del poeta sobre cuatro elementos trágicos: la cogida y la muerte del torero, su sangre derramada, el cuerpo presente, y, finalmente, el alma ausente.

Los cuatro poemas, de gran belleza y emotividad desgarrada, suponen una cumbre de la poesía taurina, y, pese a su sencillez, o quizá por eso, son una de las obras cumbres de su autor.

Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías is the emotional tribute, in four elegies, that Federico García Lorca dedicates to his friend, the bullfighter Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, who died as a result of injuries caused by a bull in 1934. It is a unitary work that recounts the poet's feelings and thoughts on four tragic elements: the bullfighter's injury and death, his spilled blood, the present body, and, finally, the absent soul.

The four poems, of great beauty and heart-breaking emotion, are the pinnacle of bullfighting poetry, and, despite their simplicity, or perhaps because of it, they are one of the author's greatest works.
