Los reyes de la baraja
 (Sung text for setting by F. García Lorca)
 Matches original text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Si tu madre quiere un rey
La baraja tiene cuatro:
Rey do oros, rey de copas
Rey de espadas ,rey de bastos.

Corre que te pillo
Corre que te agarro
Mira que te lleno
La cara de barro.

De olivo 
Me retiro
Del esparto
Yo me aparto
Del sarmiento
Me arrepiento
De haberte querdio tanto.
