En Jerez de la Frontera había un molinero honrado, que ganaba su sustento con un molino alquilado; pero es casado con una moza como una rosa, como es tan bella, el corregidor nuevo prendó de ella. En Jerez de la Frontera, ríese la molinera, y al corregidor decía, que amores le pedía: "Ay, sois gracioso, muy generoso, muy lisonjero, también caballero, mas quiero a mi molinero es mi dueño"

In Jerez de la Frontera lebte ein ehrbarer Müller, der seinen Unterhalt mit einer Lohnmühle verdiente. Doch ist er vermählt mit einem Mädel rosenschön, und weil sie so schön war der neue Landvogt ihr verfallen. In Jerez de la Frontera lachte die Müllerin und sagte dem Vogt, der um sie buhlte: „Oh, Sie sind reizend und sehr großmütig, ein Schmeichler, auch ein Kavalier, doch ich lieb’ meinen Müller, und ich bin sein.“
