from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

La auséncia
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Baldomero se llama mi novio,
Hace un més que se fué para Francia,
Hace un més que se fué para Francia,
Y ole, ole, ole, solita quedo yo!

Me embarco y me desembarco, 
Pom, pom, ay, ay, ay, 
En una lancha penosa, 
Pom, pom,
El agua no me consiente, 
Pom, pom, ay, ay, ay, 
A las orillas me echa, 
Pom, pom,
Baldomero se fué para Francia, 
Y ole, ole, ole, solita me quedo yo!

A la Bartola
Cuando está sola,
Qué bien le cuadra la farandola,
Mira, mira, qué bien le cuadra la farandola,
A la Bartolina, Bartola
Cuando está sola.

Baldomero ha escrito una carta
A Bartola con letra amorosa,
Y anoche a las once y media,
Y ole, ole, ole, cantaba el sereno.

Me embarco y me desembarco, 
Pom, pom, ay, ay, ay, 
En una lancha penosa, 
Pom, pom,
El agua no me consiente, 
Pom, pom, ay, ay, ay,
A las orillas me echa, 
Pom, pom,
Bartola estaba en brazos de Pedro, 
Y ole, ole, ole, que ya no está sola.

A la Bartola
Cuando está sola,
Qué bien le cuadra la farandola,
Mira, mira, qué bien le cuadra la farandola,
A la Bartolina, Bartola
Cuando está sola.

Baldomero ha escrito una carta
Y ole, ole, ole, con letra amorosa.
