Según los indicios, antes de las 5:34h (hora del amanecer) del 18 de agosto de 1936, justo cinco años después de su publicación, unos seguidores del golpista Francisco Franco fusilaron al escritor junto a un olivo cerca del barranco de Víznar, Granada. Le acusaban de comunista, masón y homosexual…
Su reloj se paró con los disparos de un golpe de estado contra una República Democrática pero su alma trasciende y sigue viva… vuela como ese mochuelo del olivo cercano. Y Camarón como abanderado de una innumerable cantidad de versiones sigue recitando su legado, recordando al dramaturgo y poeta al que unos malnacidos mataron por ‘maricón’.
‘La leyenda del tiempo' is a poem by Federico García Lorca, included in the script of his work 'Así que pasen cinco años'. This piece is dated on its last page as completed on August 19th, 1931.
According to the indications, before 5:34 h (sunrise time) on August 18th, 1936, just five years after its publication, some followers of the coup leader Francisco Franco shot the writer next to an olive tree near the ravine of Víznar, Granada. They accused him of being a communist, a freemason and a homosexual...
His clock stopped with the shooting of a coup against a Democratic Republic but his soul transcends and is still alive... flies like that owl in the nearby olive tree. And Camarón, as the standard bearer of countless versions, continues to recite his legacy, remembering the playwright and poet that some bastards killed for being 'faggot'.
