En Sevilla está una ermita
Language: Spanish (Español) 
En Sevilla está una ermita      
cual dicen de San Simón,
adonde todas las damas  
iban a hacer oración.   
Allá va la mi señora,   
sobre todas la mejor,   
saya lleva sobre saya,  
mantillo de un tornasol,
en la su boca muy linda 
lleva un poco de dulzor, 
en la su cara muy blanca
lleva un poco de color, 
y en los sus ojuelos garzos     
lleva un poco de alcohol,       
a la entrada de la ermita,      
relumbrando como el sol.
El abad que dice misa   
no la puede decir, no,  
monacillos que le ayudan
no aciertan responder, no,      
por decir: amén, amén,  
decían: amor, amor.
