Pues por besarte, Minguillo
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Pues por besarte, Minguillo,
Me riñe mi madre á mí;
Vuélveme presto, carillo,
Aquel beso que te dí. 

Vuélveme el beso sin despecho
Pues por tuya me confieso
Porque me riñen por eso
Como si fuera mal hecho,
Á tí sera mas provecho
En trocar otro con mi;
Vuélveme presto, carillo,
Aquel beso que te dí. 

No te hago disfavor
Escucha acá lo que digo
Y tenerte por amigo
Si me das el beso, amor,
Todo aquesto [?] es por mejor
Según siento para tí;
Vuélveme presto, carillo,
Aquel beso que te dí.

Vuélveme el beso, por Dios,
Porqué en besarme importuno
Pensaras volverme uno
Y vernas a tener dos.
No desconformemos nos,
Acaba dime de sí:
Vuélveme presto, carillo,
Aquel beso que te dí. 

About the headline (FAQ)

Confirmed with Cancionero, llamado Flor de enamorados, sacado de diversos Autores, agora nuevamente por muy lindo orden y estilo recopilado por Juan de Linares, Barcelona: con Licencia del Ordinario, por Lorenzo Deu, delante el Palacio del Rey, Año 1626. Appears in Canciones, pages 27 - 28. Sometimes attributed to Don Diego de la Llana or De Diego de la Luna, but most anthologies indicate the text is anonymous. In Don Quixote by Cervantes, a character identifies herself as a daughter of Don Diego de la Llana, and the plethora of commentary on Don Quixote can obscure the search for a real-life person by this name.

Der Kuss
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Hat die Mutter mich gescholten,
Dass ich dich, mein Freund, geküsst,
Drum gib schnell den Kuss mir wieder,
Den du mir hast abgeküsst!

Gib den Kuss mit gutem Willen,
Dass ihr Zürnen mag vergehn,
Und wir wahrhaft sagen können:
"Zwischen uns ist nichts gescheh'n!"

Ja, es wird dir Nutzen bringen,
Wenn zurück den Kuss du gibst,
Küss, o küss geschwind, mein Liebster,
Küsse mich, wenn du mich liebst!

Gib den Kuss, um Gottes Willen.
Mutter ist so sonderbar!
Weh!  Zurück wollt' ich noch einen,
Und nun hab' ich zweie gar!
