Es verdad
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
¡Ay, qué trabajo me cuesta quererte como te quiero! Por tu amor me duele el aire, el corazón y el sombrero. ¿Quién me compraría a mí este cintillo que tengo y esta tristeza de hilo blanco, para hacer pañuelos? ¡Ay, qué trabajo me cuesta quererte como te quiero!
