From Federico García Lorca's Poema de la Saeta - in Spanish and English:
Noche
Cirio, candil,
farol y luciérnaga.
La constelación
de la saeta.
Ventantinas de oro
tiemblan
y en la aurora se mecen
cruces superpuestas.
Cirio, candil,
farol y luciérnaga.
Night
Candle, oil lamp,
lamppost and firefly.
The constellation
of the saeta.
Little golden windows
tremble,
at at dawn superimposed
crosses sway about.
Candle, oil lamp,
lamppost and firefly
(From Poem of the Deep Song, translated by Carlos Bauer, City Lights Publishers, 1987.)
Other places:
Read about the saeta on the Flamenco World site - and listen, too.
