Amo la luz del alba porque te besa Y te devuelve viva viva y traviesa. Erguida espiga al viento del mediodía Amo el sol que te dora madura y mía. ¡Ay! corazón de la noche Gala del día, gala del día! Mi vida estoy quemando por tu alegría! Cuando la tarde llora su luz perdida, Amo el trino que prendes sobre mi vida. Quiero tanto a la noche que es infinita Como tu hora dulce obscura y tibia. ¡Ay! corazón de la noche Gala del día, gala del día! Mi vida estoy quemando por tu alegría!
