from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

La Abuelita
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ricardo:
Elena mia,
Mi dulce amor,
Aqui te espera
Tu trovador.

Elena:
Es mi Ricardo,
Suya es la voz;
Como palpita
Mi corazón!

Ricardo:
Si tu non sales
A ese balcón,
Aqui me muero
Sin confesión.
Tres puñaladas
Yo me daré,
Y asi mañana
No sufriré.

Elena:
¡Ay! pobrecito,
Se va a matar;
Una desgracia
Quiero evitar.

Abuela:
El joven dice
Se va a matar;
Sus intenciones
Son deengañar.

Ricardo:
Mañana mismo
Te pediré,
Tu seras mia,
Tuyo seré.

Elena:
¡Ay! que delicia,
¡Ay! que placer,
Porque su esposa
Yo voy a ser.

Abuela:
Picaronaza
Y a te pillé,
Y a las monjitas
Te llevaré,
Y al tal mocito
Yo le diré:
Tome el sombrero
Y váyase Usted.
