En las montañas de Asturias

Language: Spanish (Español)

Available translation(s): FRE GER

En las montañas de Asturias
una asturiana ví,
de catorce a quince años,
regando su jardin.
Pasó un caballero, le pide una flor,
y la bella asturiana le dice que no.

Queda con Dios, asturiana,
me la tiés que pagar;
por la cuestión de una flor,
te tengo que matar.
Pasó un caballero, le pide una flor,
y la bella asturiana le dice que no.
