A la orilla de un palmar
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG
A la orilla de un palmar, yo vide una joven bella, su boquita de coral, sus ojitos dos estrellas. Al pasar le pregunté que quién estaba con ella y me respondió llorando: sola vivo en el palmar. Soy huerfanita, ¡ay! no tengo padre ni madre, ni un amigo ¡ay! que me venga a consolar. Solita paso la vida a la orilla del palmar y solita voy y vengo como las olas del mar.
