2. Nunca olvida...
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ya que este mundo abandono,
Ántes de dar cuenta á Dios,
Aquí para entre los dos,
Mi confesion te diré:
-- Con toda el alma perdono
Hasta á los que siempre he odiado;
¡Á tí, que tanto te he amado,
Nunca te perdonaré!

Vuélvemelo hoy a decir,
Pues, embelesado, ayer
Te escuchaba sin oír,
Y te miraba sin ver.

4. Los dos miedos
 (Sung text)

Language: Spanish (Español) 
Al comenzar la noche de aquel día,
  ella, lejos de mí,
-- ¿Por qué te acercas tanto? -- Me decía;
    -- ¡Tengo miedo de tí! --

Y después que la noche hubo pasado
  dijo, cerca de mí:
-- ¿Por qué te alejas tanto de mi lado?
    ¡Tengo miedo sin tí! --
