Federico García Lorca - Romance sonámbulo (Sleepwalker’s ballad)

Verde que te quiero verde – Perhaps the most famous lines in all of Spanish poetry and no two translators seem to agree on the meaning. Loughhran (1994) renders it, “Green, for I'll have you green.” Havard's (1990) version is “Green how I want you green.” Ramsden's (1988) is “For it's green that I want you, green.” Cobbs (1983) takes the biggest liberty and translates it as, “Green grows my love, my love grows green”
