by Fernando Periquet (1873 - 1940)

El majo timido
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
Llega a mi reja y me mira
por la noche un majo
que, en cuanto me ve y suspira,
se va calle abajo.
¡Ay qué tío más tardío!
¡Si así se pasa la vida estoy
divertida!

[Otra vez pasa y se alejo]1
y no se entusiasma
[y bajito yo le digo]2
¡Adiós Don Fantasma!
¡Ay que tío más tardío!
[Si así se pasa la vida
estoy divertida.]3
