Guitares et mandolines Ont des sons qui font aimer. Tout en croquant des pralines Pépa se laisse charmer Quand, jetant dièses, bécarres, Mandolines et guitares Vibrent pour la désarmer. Mandoline avec guitare Accompagnent de leur bruit Les amants suivant le phare De la beauté dans la nuit. Et Juana montre, féline, (Guitare avec mandoline) Sa bouche et son oeil qui luit.

Guitars and mandolines Have a sound that inspires love. Crunching on pralines, Pépa allows herself to be charmed When, throwing sharps and flats, Mandolines and guitars Resonate to disarm her. Mandoline with guitar Escort with their sound Those lovers following the beacon Of beauty in the night; And Juana reveals, cat-like, (Guitar with mandoline) Her mouth and shining eye.
