Nubes vaporosas, nubes como tul, llevad Palma mía por el cielo azul. ¡Lejos de la casa que me ve sufrir, lejos de estos muros que me ven morir! Nubes pasajeras, llevadme hacia el mar, a escuchar él canto de la pleamar y entre la guirnalda de olas a cantar. Nubes, flores, rostros dibujadme a aquel que ya va borrándose por el tiempo infiel. Mi alma se pudre sin el rostro de él. Nubes que pasáis, nubes, detened sobre el pecho mío la fresca merced. ¡Abiertos están mis labios de sed!
