Voz serena y llana: Celestino

Voz serena y llana, acento suave, asturiano que vive con pájaros, no los estudia.

Prompt: An Asturian man of sixty-five who has noted the date of the cuckoo's first song for thirty years. His voice is plain and unhurried, with an Asturian lilt that softens the words. He pauses before 'the long series' and pronounces the dates savoring them. He speaks like someone who has lived beside the birds, not like someone who studies them.

Script: Mi abuelo anotaba la fecha del primer canto del cuco; mi padre también; yo sigo. En cincuenta años, el canto se ha adelantado dos semanas. Los cuadernos de casa completan los datos oficiales. La primavera se oye antes de verse.
