2. Cancion de Jinete  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Córdoba. Lejana y sola. 
Jaca negra, luna grande,
y aceitunas en mi alforja.
Aunque sepa los caminos
yo nunca llegaré a Córdoba. 
Por el llano, por el viento,
jaca negra, luna roja.
La muerte me está mirando
desde las torres de Córdoba. 
¡Ay qué camino tan largo!
¡Ay mi jaca valerosa!
¡Ay, que la muerte me espera,
antes de llegar a Córdoba! 
Córdoba. Lejana y sola.

3. Es Verdad  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Ay, qué trabajo me cuesta
quererte como te quiero! 

Por tu amor me duele el aire,
el corazón 
y el sombrero. 

¿Quién me compraría a mí
este cintillo que tengo
y esta tristeza de hilo
blanco, para hacer pañuelos? 

¡Ay, qué trabajo me cuesta
quererte como te quiero!

dejad el balcón abierto!
