Very, very close erenda :clap: , this is the first verses of a poem called "Santos Vega" (Santos is a name but it means Saints too, and Vega is a last name) it's a gauchesco poem (gauchesco is the way that use the gauchos, the rural male people of my country, like the USA cowboys), to speak; even in this first verces there are no special words but the gramma is very gauchesca, full of romanticism and metaphors, it tell the story of a man called Santos Vega who played the guitar in a magic way, enchantig and with a voice that nobody could resist to, one day he was challenged by the Devil in a guitar competition, but the Devil of course was very unfair because he had 6 fingers in each hand, and before he lost and knowing he was going to be taken by the devil he took her own life so that he wouldent go to the heaven but not to the hell as well, and stay in the Pampas for ever scaping and crying for not to be able to play the guitar anymore, but they say that every sound of the Pampas is music made by Santos Vega, :heartbeat: . I love this story since I heard it in the scool, besides I live in the Pampas (the Pampas are a very beautiful zone of my country, a big and green plain that enclose La Pampa, Buenos Aires and Santa Fe states; I live in Santa Fe).
I know I will destry it  :oops: but I'll try to translate:
When the evening bend crying to the east, a suffering shadow runs over Argentinina's Pampa, and when the sun shines with bright and peaceful light, the scene of the whide camp, the melancolic shadow, runs kising its carpet with the desire of the pain...
Of course it's a poem, and in my bad translation it lose the music and the literary meaning of the words... :-({|= 

As you can see:
La tarde is the evening (noun) but tarde mens late too, Es tarde means It's late, and is feminin because of la.
Not oxigente, is oxidente, a synonymous of este that mens east, oxidente is not a word used in everyday speach, it's allmost used in writings only.
serena (fem) sereno (masc)  means peaceful, calm, and it have relation with the Selene the greak silent Goddes of night
escena is scene, stage in theatre.

By the way I dont know the phonetic of your lenguage but pronouncing the words in my spanish it sound beautiful too.  :)
