Our translations: ENG FRE GER

Mira que soy niña, ¡Amor, déjame! 
¡Ay, ay, ay, que me moriré! 

Paso, amor, no seas a mi gusto extraño,
no quieras mi daño 
pues mi bien deseas; 
basta que me veas 
sin llegárteme. 
¡Ay, ay, ay, que me moriré! 

No seas agora, por ser atrevido; 
sé agradecido Ah! 
con la que te adora, 
que así se desdora 
mi amor y tu fe. 
¡Ay, ay, ay, que me moriré! 
Mira que soy niña ...

Vois, je ne suis qu’une enfant. Laisse‑moi, mon amour.

Language: French (Français) after the Spanish (Español)

Vois, je ne suis qu’une enfant. Laisse-moi, mon amour.
Hélas, hélas, je vais mourir !

Éloigne-toi, mon amour, ne me laisse pas un gout étrange,
ne me souhaite pas de souffrir
tout en me voulant du bien ;
qu’il te suffise de me voir
sans trop m’approcher.
Hélas, hélas, je vais mourir !

Ne sois pas audacieux maintenant,
Ah, fais plaisir
à celle qui t’adore,
si tu ne veux pas trahir
mon amour et ta confiance.
Hélas, hélas, je vais mourir !
Vois, je ne suis qu’une enfant…
