Ser de amor esa pasión
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Ser de amor esa pasión
tu rostro, Ines, lo declara,
porque descubre la cara
secretos del corazón.

El suspirar y gemir,
el llorar y no cantar,
ese contino velar
y ese tan poco dormir:
señales son de afición
que tu rostro la declara,
porque descubre la cara
secretos del corazón.

Amor dinero y cuidado
mal se pueden encubrir,
que por fuerza han de salir
del pecho mas encerrado:
y esa continua pasión
facilmente lo declara
porque descubre la cara
secretos del corazón.

Pintan al amor con alas
por do es bien que se presuma,
que pues se adorna de pluma
seran de color sus galas:
de eso en cualquier ocasión
da tu rostro muestra clara,
porque descubre la cara
secretos del corazón.
