from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Mañanita de San Juan
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG GER
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.
