by Lope Felix de Vega Carpio (1562 - 1635)

Al val de Fuente Ovejuna
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  FRE
Al val de Fuente Ovejuna
La niña en cabellos baja,
El caballero la sigue 
De la Cruz de Calatrava.

Entre las ramas se esconde,
De vergonzosa y turbada, 
Fingiendo que no le ha visto,
Pone delante las ramas.

"¿Para qué te escondes
Niña gallarda? 
Que mis linces deseos
Paredes pasan." 

Acercóse el caballero, 
Y ella, confusa y turbada,
Hacer quiso celosías 
De las intrincadas ramas, 

Mas como quien tiene amor
Los mares y las montañas
Atraviesa fácilimente,
La dice tales palabras.

"¿Para qué te escondes
Niña gallarda? 
Que mis linces deseos
Paredes pasan."
