Floris
Language: Spanish (Español)
A la feria va Floris por que tenga la feria Mas joyas que el Oriente Mas luces que la esfera Disfraza da de corto Con perlas pide perlas Corales por corales por rosas primaveras Mal se dis fraza el cielo Con manto de tinieblas Que las estrellas parlan que es cielo quien las lleve

Floris
Language: French (Français)  after the Spanish (Español)
Sous ta noire mantille, Ô Floris ton oeil brille Moins riante et moins belle Paraît l'aube nouvelle Vainement le ciel sombre S'enveloppe de voiles La clarté des étoiles L'indique à travers l'ombre Sous ta noire mantille Ô Floris ton oeil brille Moins brillante et moins belle Paraît l'aube nouvelle Enivré de tes charmes Et les yeux pleins de larmes, Ô beauté trop chérie Tout le jour je m'écrie
