Mañanita de San Juan
Language: Spanish (Español)
Mañanita de San Juan, levántate tempranito y en la ventana verás de hierbabuena un poquito. Aquella paloma blanca que pica en el arcipiés, que por dónde la cogeria, que por dónde la cogeré; si la cojo por el pico se me escapa por los pies. Coge niño la enramada, que la noche está serena y la música resuena en lo profundo del mar.
