by Antonio Ros de Olano (1808 - 1886)

¡Ay del ay que al alma llega!
Language: Spanish (Español) 
¡Ay del ay que al alma llega!-
Por matar a una mujer
[incurrí en]1 la última pena;
[mas trocó]2 el rey la condena,
y [mi vida es]3 padecer
amarrado a [una]4 cadena...
-¡Ay del ay que al alma llega!
	 
Me quitó el juez mi caballo;
el alguacil la vihuela;
me quitaron lo que callo...,
¡Regalo de ella, y no hallo
memoria que más me duela!
-¡Ay del ay que al alma llega!
 
¡Camposanto de Jerez,
si ella en ti resucitara
y a mí me soltase el juez,
la mataría otra vez,
antes de verle la cara!
-¡Ay del ay que [al alma llega]5,
[por matar]6 a una mujer!
