Canción de la Infanta
 (Sung text for setting by P. Viardot-García)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Hablando estaba la reina
En su palacio real
Con la infanta de Castilla,
Princesa de Portugal.
Ay! que malas penas!
Ay! que fuerte mal!
Allí vino un caballero
Con grandes lloros llorar:
"Nuevas te traigo, señora,
Dolorosas de contar.
Ay, no son de reyno estraño,
De aquí son, de Portugal.
Vuestro príncipe, señora,
Vuestro príncipe real
Es caído de un caballo,
El alma quiere a Dios dar.
Si le queredes ver vivo,
No queredes detardar.
Alli est´ el Rey su padre,
Que quiere desesperara.
Lloran todas las mujeres
Casadas y por casar. »
