by Félix Rubén García Sarmiento (1867 - 1916), as Rubén Darío

¿Cuentos quieres, niña bella?
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¿Cuentos quieres, niña bella? 
Tengo muchos que contar: 
de una sirena de mar, 
de un ruiseñor y una estrella, 
de una cándida doncella 
que robó un encantador, 
de un gallardo trovador 
y de una odalisca mora, 
con sus perlas de Bassora 
y sus chales de Lahor.
