La Gitanilla en el Coliseo

by José Castel (flourished 18th century)

Canción de la gitana habilidosa
 (Sung text for setting by J. Castel)
 Matches base text

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Yo, zeñorez, zoy gitana como lo publica el traje
Y zalgo a ezte colizeo a hacer miz habilidadez.
Digo la buenaventura. He eztudiado muchaz artez
Y a lo que ez hechiceria no he encontrado quien me gane.
Vaya, zeñorez, den me por Dioz una limozna e compación.
Yo me contento en la ocación que cada uno me de un doblón.
Vaya, queridoz, vaya por Dioz!
Una limozna e compación.
Aquí habrá muchoz curiozoz que me pidan novedadez,
Y yo pretendo moztraroz lo que paza en variaz partez.
Mirarán laz diverzionez que por otroz zitioz hacen,
Por zi con la nueva idea ze divierten ezta tarde.
Oigan, zeñorez, haya atención.
Verán que cozaz de admiración,
Que miz juguetez zon de primor.
