Las hijas del Zebedeo

Operetta by Ruperto Chapí (1851 - 1909)

8. Canceleras
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Al pensar en el dueño
de mis amores,
siento yo unos mareos
encantadores.
Bendito sea
aquel picaronazo
que me marea.

A mi novio yo le quiero
porque roba corazones
con su gracia y su salero.
El me tiene muy ufana
porque hay muchas que le quieren
y se quedan con las ganas.

Caprichosa yo nací,
y le quiero solamente,
solamente para mí.
Que quitarme a mí su amor
es lo mismo que quitarle
las hojitas a una flor.

Yo me muero de gozo
cuando me mira,
y me vuelvo jalea
cuando suspira.
Si me echa flores
siento el corazoncito
morir de amores.

Porque tiene unos ojillos
que me miran entornados,
muy gachones y muy pillos,
y me dicen ¡ay! lucero,
que por esa personita
me derrito yo y me muero.
