El fantasma
 (Sung text for setting by J. Turina)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Por las calles misteriosas
ronda de noche un fantasma,
dejando un rumor de ayes
y cadenas cuando pasa.
Viéndolo aúllan los perros 
y las cornejas se espantan,
rasgando el tul de las sombras
con el filo de sus alas. 
Como un desgraciado augurio
se espera la su llegada 
y hasta el novio más valiente
al sentirlo se acobarda. 
¿Dónde va y de dónde viene?
De cierto no se sabe nada;
mas dicen qua es el amor 
que anda vestido de máscara.

Composition:

    Set to music by Joaquín Turina (1882 - 1949), "El fantasma"
