Lorca translation to me, the translation from the Lorca sounds rather contrived - or at least, not idiomatic. I'd need to be persuaded (by a good insight into the context!) that this really fits here. Ie, what was behind the slightly odd phrasing (to my eyes!) of the Lorca translation, and do the same circumstances prevail with this text?
But if it weren't for this, along with the lack of context, I'd agree entirely - great idea, and well researched!

@ Noni I am surprised at myself! I knew the phrase sounded familiar... and I know the piece well, but the penny didn't drop for me :-(

Resonance I am surprised that the reference to Lorca's work didn't leap out at everyone, and I think that in an artistic context it cannot be ignored. The title must have been chosen with the reference in mind.

absolutely agree with Carol about storyline/register needed to attempt title

Carol Gullidge Feb 3, 2011:

context as any literal translation of a title is VERY unlikely to be the most suitable, we need to know much more! In particular, what is the story about (main themes), what is the required register, etc.
