Diga usted, señor platero,
Cuanta plata es menester
para engarzar un besito
de boca de una mujer.

Señor platero, he pensado
que usted sabe engarzar;
por eso le vengo a dar
una obrita de cuidado.

A mí un besito me ha dado
mi novia con gran salero.
Engarzarlo en plata quiero,
porque soy su fiel amante.

¿Qué plata será bastante?
diga usted, señor platero.
