Á la sombra de mis cabellos
Language: Spanish (Español)
Á la sombra de mis cabellos mi querido se adurmió: ¿si le recordaré ó no? Peinaba yo mis cabellos con cuidado cada dia, y el viento los esparcia revolviéndose con ellos y á su soplo y sombra de ellos mi querido se adurmió: ¿si le recordaré ó no? Diceme que le da pena el ser en extremo ingrata, que le da vida y le mata esta mi color morena, y llamándome sirena él junto á mí se adurmió: ¿si le recordaré ó no?

In dem Schatten meiner Locken
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
In dem Schatten meiner Locken Schlief mir mein Geliebter ein. Weck' ich ihn nun auf? -- Ach nein! Sorglich strählt' ich meine krausen Locken täglich in der Frühe, Doch umsonst ist meine Mühe, Weil die Winde sie zerzausen. Lockenschatten, Windessausen Schläferten den Liebsten ein. Weck' ich ihn nun auf? -- Ach nein! Hören muß ich, wie ihn gräme, Daß er schmachtet schon so lange, Daß ihm Leben geb' und nehme Diese meine braune Wange, Und er nennt mich seine Schlange, Und doch schlief er bei mir ein. Weck' ich ihn nun auf? -- Ach nein!
