Un galan y su morena = A lover and his sweetheart
 (Sung text for setting by R. Ottenwaelder)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ay, un galán de esta villa, 
Ay, un galán de esta casa, 
Ay, diga lo que buscaba, 
Ay, diga lo que queria.
Buscaba la su morena.

Adonde fué mi morena,
Adonde le resalada, 
Adonde fué mi morena,
A la fuente fué por agua, 
A la fuente fué por agua.
Y un galán me la detiene, 
Y aqui la estoy aguardando, 
Por ver si viene o no viene.

Ay, diga, diga el galán, 
Ay, diga lo que buscaba, 
Ay, diga lo que buscaba, 
Ay, diga lo que queria!
