Cabezita, cabezita

Cabezita, cabezita, tente en ti, no te resbales, y apareja dos puntales de la paciencia bendita; solicita la bonita confianzita; no te inclines a pensamientos ruynes; veras cosas, que toquen en milagrosas; Dios delante, y san Christoual gigante.

Köpfchen, Köpfchen, nicht gewimmert
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)
Köpfchen, Köpfchen, nicht gewimmert, halt dich wacker, halt dich munter, stütz zwei gute Säulchen unter, heilsam aus Geduld gezimmert! Hoffnung schimmert, wie sich's auch verschlimmert und dich kümmert. Mußt mit Grämen dir nichts zu Herzen nehmen, ja kein Märchen, daß zu Berg dir stehn die Härchen; da sei Gott davor und der Riese Christophor!
