La gitanilla
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Russian (Русский)
Soy una gitanilla, Gitano no común, Pues sé decir la buena ventura. Pon en mi mano, en mi manita, Monedillas bien sonantes Y revelaré la buena suerte. Buena o mala, te revelaré tu suerte. Si algo te acontece O si la pena te agobia, Mándame buscar Yo tengo mil remedios. Y te hago mi reverencia, Mi tortolito lindo y tierno, Porque el tiempo apremia Y yo me escapo. ¡Ah!
