from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Reinas de la baraja = The queen of...
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Si tu mare quiere una reina
La baraja tiene cuatro, 
La de copas, la de oros,
La de espadas, la de bastos.

Corre que te pillo, 
Corre que te agarro, 
Mira que te lleno 
La cara de barro.

Del olivo me retiro,
Del esparto yo me aparto, 
Del sarmiento me arrepiento 
De haberte querido tanto.
