From the recording Fountain of Tears
This is the title track from MASCARA's new album, Fountain of Tears. The song is about Federico Garcia Lorca, a Spanish poet and playwright of provocative and risky poems and plays, and also closeted homosexual who was executed in 1936 in a place called Ainadamar, an Arabic word meaning fountain of tears.
Lyrics
AINADAMAR
Ainadamar, Fountain of Tears, I am still alive
Ainadamar, Fuente Grande to the Granadinos
Ainadamar, only mystery enables us to live
Emptiness
Solitary world
Estuary
Ainadamar, muerte de Lorca
