by Lope Felix de Vega Carpio (1562 - 1635)

Zagalejo de perlas
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Zagalejo de perlas 
hijo del alba, 
¿dónde vais que hace frío 
tan de mañana? 

Como sois lucero 
del alma mía 
a traer el día 
nacéis primero; 
pastor y cordero, 
sin choza, y lana, 
¿dónde vais que hace frío 
tan de mañana? 

Perlas en los ojos, 
risa en la boca, 
las almas provoca 
a placer, y enojos, 
cabellitos rojos, 
boca de grana, 
¿dónde vais que hace frío 
tan de mañana? 

¿Qué tenéis que hacer 
pastorcito Santo, 
madrugando tanto? 
Lo dais a entender 
aunque vais a ver 
disfrazado al alma. 
¿Dónde vais que hace frío
tan de mañana?
